Here comes the Spider-Man cast album
The upcoming new Broadway musical, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark – with music and lyrics by U2’s Bono and The Edge – has just released its first official single, called Rise Above 1, reports Star Pulse.
The tune made its debut during Thursday’s American Idol finale (May 26), and is now available through streaming and iTunes download. Reeve Carney stars in the production as Spider-Man (and alter-ego Peter Parker), and performs the track – with a little help from Bono and The Edge.
Rise Above 1 is the first of 14 tracks that will be released on the musical’s official soundtrack, Music From Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark. The soundtrack recordings are all performed by the original Broadway cast – including Carney, along with Jennifer Damiano in the role of Mary-Ann, T.V. Carpio as Arachne and Patrick Page as the Green Goblin.
Bono and The Edge feature on the album, with instrumental music provided by the show’s 20-piece orchestra.
