The birth of 'Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark' on Broadway this past year was painful to say the very least. The show, with music by Bono and the Edge and words and direction by Julie Taymor – at least until she was ousted March – delayed its opening several times to deal with technical problems, major injuries suffered on set by cast members, and issues with the telling of the story itself.

After one of the longest rehearsal processes in Broadway history, Spider-Man opened on June 14 to an audience of Irish-American royalty, including the show’s musical composers Bono and the Edge, Liam Neeson, Matt Damon and former President Bill Clinton. Though one Irish American soared high above the others… literally.
