Rehearsals for the Broadway production of Spider-Man have begun in New York.

The production, which features music by U2, was due to open earlier this yar, but has been hit by a number of delays, including financial problems.

However, a spokesperson told the New York Times that choreography rehearsals had started. Full cast run-throughs are due to begin in August.

Actor-musician Reeve Carney, who is set to play Peter Parker, said on Twitter that he “can’t wait for the world to see this thing”.

Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark includes lyrics and music written by U2 singer Bono and guitarist The Edge.

The pair recently revealed that they hoped their songs would be released on an accompanying album.
