Music by Bono and The Edge!?!?!?! Wow. 'In the naaaame of cash, once more in the name of cash." Well, Sir Elton has done well on the great white way, maybe they will too. (But really, this sounds absurd.)
Still, there was a Superman musical on Broadway in 1966. Anyone remember "It's A Bird, It's A Plane, It's Superman?" The songs were from Lee Adams and Charles Strouse, the same team who later brought us Annie. There was a televised version of this show in the Seventies, with Leslie Anne Warren as Lois Lane. I tried to watch it, but it was a cheap looking production, shot on primitive video on threadbare sets. I didn't make it through.
