The Story of Spider-Man

Spider-Man was the creation of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. The character was originally created as a supplement to another comic, but quickly took on a life of his own, as it appealed to the teen sensibilities of most comic book readers!It tells the story of New York teen Peter Parker, who is accidentally bitten by a radioactive spider that gives him his super powers. Following the advice of his uncle, Peter decides that “with great power comes great responsibility.”

Called a “rock musical” by most theater-goers and critics, the producers of Spider-Man, Bono and The Edge of U2 are unsure of what to call it, because “it (has) elements of rock and roll, it’s elements of circus, it’s elements of opera, (and) of musical theater.” Bono refers to the show as “pop-up, pop-art opera” and “wrestling with the same stuff as Rilke, Blake, Wings of Desire, Roy Lichtenstein, and the Ramones.” 60 Minutes calls it “a comic book rock opera circus.” Bono disagrees, stating "We've moved out of the rock and roll idiom in places into some very new territory for us ... [including] big show tunes and dance songs."
