Cast members of Spider Man: Turn off the Dark have now seen the new script and been given a chance to air their thoughts. Rehearsals began on Tuesday of this week with all the principals working on Act 1 of the new script with the first read throughs and staging taking place with Philip William McKinley and Chase Brock working on his new choreography with the ensemble.


A large number of cast members have said that they were “very excited by the script changes” with the new material greatly improving the flow of the show, including the arc and characters and addressing all of the major critical complaints.

The script will continue to evolve during rehearsals, with cast members  being asked to “swing” out of certain performances over the next few weeks for additional rehearsal time.

While deals have not yet been completed for Julie Taymor and Daniel Ezralow, both sides are hopeful that they will be able to avoid litigation.

To allow rehearsal time for the new changes to be implemented into the show performances from April 19th-May 11th have been cancelled with preview performances resuming on Thursday, May 12th. Spider Man: Turn Off The Dark has rescheduled its opening night for Tuesday June 14, 2011.
