Citing unnamed "sources," NY1 reports that director Julie Taymor is leaving the troubled Spider-man musical Turn Off the Dark. The news comes a day after The New York Times wrote about ongoing "negotiations" between Taymor and the musical's producers, including U2 members Bono and the Edge, who wrote the musical's songs.

The great thing about the stylistic diversions House has been taking these past few weeks is that they're not just novelties; each gimmick has been used to tell an integral part of the series's ongoing story.

Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, the forever-delayed, utterly doomed musical from Julie Taymor, Bono and the Edge, is still in previews. But that doesn't mean that the cast can't perform a weirdly tame song on David Letterman's Late Show!

Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, the $65 million Broadway musical from Lion King director Julie Taymor and Bono, of the Irish Bonos, was supposed to open on Monday night. It didn't—it's been delayed, again, till March 15—but that didn't stop a bunch of critics from reviewing it anyway. And they all agree: It's unbelievably bad.

The Spider-Man musical Turn Off the Dark, which has a nasty habit of seriously injuring its cast members, was the highest-grossing show on Broadway last week, beating out Wicked. Sounds like Wicked needs to start dropping its actors off buildings!

Looks like the producers of the Spider-Man musical have decided to ignore our advice and reopen the show Wednesday.

Stephen Colbert is not so easy to impress, but upon Stephen Sondheim's introduction to the Report, the host deemed him "the greatest voice of the American theater of the last 50 years" and proceed to play a "smattering" of his hits.

Remember Office Space, the stapler-centric disgruntled workers' cult favorite? Did you ever imagine the movie as a musical? Well, whether you did or didn't, here it is: a deliciously short—and sweet—Broadway-esque parody version of the film. Watch inside.

Two actors in Turn Off the Dark, the Julie Taymor-directed, U2-scored Spider-Man musical, have suffered injuries while rehearsing flying stunts. A dancer broke both wrists, another actor broke both feet. And you thought Mamma Mia! was dangerous(ly bad)!

With only three days left, many folks are panicking because they have yet to choose a costume. Upbeat and informative, this diddy is sure to cure your woes and make you dance around the office.

This certainly is the week for movie reunions. Earlier it was Back to the Future and today the entire cast of The Sound of Music happily reunited. How do Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer, and the Von Trapp children look today?

For the Gleeks out there who are spending the day quivering in anticipation of tonight's homage to the Rocky Horror Picture Show—first of all: settle down! Secondly, prepare yourselves by watching Russell Crowe's 1988 performance of the show.

Remember when Captain Sully successfully landed a plane on the Hudson? How about the YouTube sensation Chocolate Rain? Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell wrote the hit "Everybody's Talkin' Bout Sully" years ago, but only got around to performing it now.

Done in the comedic-operatic style of 19th century playwrights Gilbert & Sullivan, this two-minute musical piece joyfully tackles the struggles President Obama has faced in his first term. The only time he lies is when he says he's quit cigarettes!

No matter how good they are, musicals are always pretty cheesy. So how's the country going to deal with Clear Blue Tuesday? The new rock movie gives the song-and-dance treatment to the most sanctified event in recent American history: 9/11.

After London's smallish Obama on My Mind and Kenya's amateurish Obama: The Musical, Germany has finally created a true Barack Obama musical extravaganza with HOPE: Einer Neuen Generation. Palin has skanky back-up dancers and Reverend Wright sings angry gospel.

It's been twenty wonderful years (some more wonderful than others) that The Simpsons have been caricatures of the American dream. What better way to celebrate than in song? Here are the greatest Simpsons musical numbers from the show's auspicious run.

Here's an Italian performer that looks like a cross between Jerry Lewis and Edward James Olmos doing a big ole extravagant number in complete gibberish. Only it sounds exactly like someone with a southern accent. They mock us!

Oh, joy. Glee, even. Fox's rousing, wonderful new musical series is now officially slated for a September 9th return. Plus there's been a new musical number clip released, and it is fabulous. "Bust Ya Windows" fabulous. Here it is:

I sincerely hope you watched the premiere of Glee last night. Fox's new funny/sad series about a high school glee club was spunky, precocious, and sincere—normally things that are annoying. And yet, somehow on this show, they aren't at all.
