There are no changes coming to the actual show, the musical's director Julie Taymor told Showbiz 411. All the changes have to do with technical things. The flying, of course. But also all the wires, and the changes between scenes. We may need a little bit of an underscore to cover a move, or a small transition that needs to be smoothed."

The show itself has a lot of factors involved with the production.

Spiderman: Turn off the Dark is a musical as well as a circus, and costs $55 million to produce.

This is an ambitious production, Taymor added. But I have enthusiastic, talented supporters here who want to be here. It's not like I m one person doing this. I can t force intelligent, experienced people to do something they don t want to do. The show was originally set to begin previews on Nov. 14, but now has been pushed back to Nov. 28, according to the Associated Press.

AP reported that the show will have a 41-member cast, 18 orchestra members, and circus-disabled acrobatics.
