Evan Rachel Wood in Spider-Man

Evan Rachel Wood stepped onto the red carpet at the Oscars this past Sunday, sporting a stunning champagne colored Elie Saab gown, beautifully setting off her stunning red hair. But her beautiful gown was not the only thing that she revealed, she also made it known that her next major stage role would be in a new Julie Taymor musical on Broadway. The next big thing from Julie Taymor, that is currently the talk of the town? Spider-Man the musical, so as it seems unlikely that it will be Evan Rachel Wood playing the part of Peter Parker,  the educated speculation is that she willl be filling the part of Mary Jane.

In the long-running Marvel Comic saga about this spider-like superhero, Mary Jane plays an important part in the life of this superhero; first as an aquaintance and later as his wife. What part of the character will be revealed in the new musical that is going to be opening on Broadway in 2010? Well no one knows that now except for the writers and perhaps Wood herself, but it does promise to be an intriguing experience for those who enjoy Theater and are fans of the comic books. Be sure to get your Spider-Man tickets as soon as they come available, you will not regret seeing what is one of the most anticipated musicals of the coming year!
