TAYMOR SWAPS SPIDER-MAN FOR THE LION KING
Director JULIE TAYMOR is moving on from her much-maligned Broadway musical SPIDER-MAN: TURN OFF THE DARK to stage a production of THE LION KING in Spain.
Taymor walked away from the Spider-Man project in March (11) following extensive delays, a string of bad reviews and safety issues.
The show has since gone on to re-open, but Taymor is looking to the future by taking on a new project - she’s overseeing an upcoming production of Disney’s The Lion King in Madrid, reports BroadwayWorld.com.
Taymor has a long association with the production - she won a Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical for her work on the show on Broadway.
