Alan Cumming Drops Out of Broadway Spiderman Musical

Problems keep piling up for the still-in-limbo production of the massive new Julie Taymor-directed musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. Although the troubled tuner, which features songs by U2's Bono and The Edge, still has its Peter Parker (Reeve Carney), the show has now lost both of its "name" stars. Following Evan Rachel Wood's departure comes the news that Alan Cumming is also out of the production. Cumming cited his busy schedule with the CBS drama The Good Wife as the reason for his inability to stay with the production to play Spiderman's nemesis, the Green Goblin. Spider-Man still has yet to set a date for its Broadway opening.
