Taymor Sues Spider-Man Musical Producers

Just when the superhero musical Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark was settling into its long run after troubled beginnings, the show has been dealt another blow - ex director Julie Taymor is suing the pants of the producers. According to Hollywood Reporter, Taymor claims the show is still using her work without compensation. Her attorney says "Ms. Taymor regrets that the producers’ actions have left her no choice but to resort to legal recourse to protect her rights.” Taymor left the show back in March, and the whole thing seems like sour grapes now that the show is actually getting positive reviews.
