College is here! But is Spider-man?

So...I guess...I took the whole entire summer as a break. But hey, I worked as a counselor to a camp where there is no cell service. Or internet. Ah, so it all makes sense now...

Anyway, according to The Post, the upcoming musical, Spider-man, is in a haze. The lead actress to play Mary Jane, Evan Rachel Wood, is unsure about her role anymore, which then leads to the her agents trying to find those movie roles she turned down for the acting gig in the first place.
The director, Julie Taymor who directed the current running show HAIR is skyrocketing the budget saying her artistic abilities can't be strained by a limit of money...artists.
And finally, the show's composers Bono and The Edge are prepped to take the songs written for the show and turn them into singles just in case the show flops. Great backup.

So there you have it. Hasty actress, pompous director, embarrassed composers, and an imploding show. At least my summer went well. Got a decent job and heading to college to experience the wonders of theatre. Huzzah!
