The much-anticipated upcoming Julie Taymor directed Spider-Man musical entitled "Turn Off the Dark" just took another ambitious step towards completion. Scottish actor Alan Cumming has been confirmed as the pumpkin-bomb throwing Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin.

The actor will play the villain of SpiderMan: Turn Off the Dark on Broadway next February, opposite already confirmed Evan Rachel Wood, who will portray the Spider-Man alter-ego Peter Parker's love interest Mary Jane Watson in the production, which will feature new music composed by U2 stars Bono and The Edge.

Alas, all good things must reach their end.

Playbill.com is reporting that the groundbreaking Broadway musical Avenue Q will have its final curtain  at the John Golden Theatre on Sept. 31, exactly two months after its sixth anniversary on Broadway.

Are we gonna be watching the Tony Awards or the Grammy Awards this Sunday? If you thought it was odd for Snoop Dog to show up at the 2008 CMT Awards last year then brace yourself for the latest announcements about performers and presenters for the 2009 Tony Awards.

Dolly Parton will perform along with the cast of her musical 9 to 5: The Musical; Elton John will perform with the cast of Billy Elliot, The Musical; Liza Minnelli and Stockard Channing are each slotted for a performance and the 80's hair metal band Poison will  be taking the stage along with the cast of Rock of Ages,

Broadway babies brace yourselves because here they come: The NY Post is reporting that  Daniel Craig, a k a James Bond, and Hugh Jackman, aka Wolverine, will team up in a new play this fall on Broadway.

The drama, A Steady Rain by Keith Huff, is about two Chicago cops whose lifelong friendship is put to the test when they become involved in a domestic dispute in a poor neighborhood!

Craig, whose Bond movies "Casino Royale" and "Quantum of Solace" are among the highest grossing films of all time, will be making his New York stage debut. He started off in the theater in London, playing bit parts, but he has not appeared in a play in several years.
