“The Producers 2: Springtime for Spidey”: Producers will shut down the troubled Broadway musical production of “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” for three weeks to overhaul it before its new scheduled opening June 14. Original director Julie Taymor has been dropped, in favor of a new creative team.
Charlie Sheen said he was getting rid of “that lame bug” and instead would build the musical around a scientist turned into a superhero by Adonis DNA.
