First Live Video from 'Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark'

We got our first glimpse at some of the aerial work and sets from Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark today in the form of a new behind-the-scenes video. While I've yet to be sold on Julie Taymor's ideas for this production, I'll admit it looks like it will, at the very least, be a feast for the senses.

There was something confounding and thrilling about Taymor's saying, “We can’t really tell you what this is. But it has rock ‘n roll, it has drama, and it has circus.” So vague but exciting at the same time. Perhaps the woman who brought The Lion King to Broadway might be onto something.

Audiences will be the first to know when Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark opens officially on January 11, 2011 at the Foxwoods Theatre.
