'Spider-Man' secures Alan Cumming, Evan Rachel Wood

Alan Cumming and Evan Rachel Wood are confirmed for Broadway’s “Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark” with music and lyrics by Bono and The Edge of U2, according to Variety.

Spider-Man himself has not yet been cast, as Cumming will be the Green Goblin while Wood will play Peter Parker’s girlfriend, Mary Jane Watson.

Producers also pushed back the start date for the musical by more than a month, according to Playbill. Previews will now start Feb. 25 at the Hilton Theatre. A new opening night date has not yet been announced.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public Sept. 12, although pre-sale has already begun. Tickets are priced $67.50 to $95 for the balcony; $135 for the orchestra of “flying circle” level; and $275 for premium seating. There is an extra $8 convenience charge at Ticketmaster and a $2 building facility charge.
