The
original director of a lavish Broadway production of "Spider-Man,"
who was fired following a series of mishaps, has settled a lawsuit against the
producers, a federal court in New York said Thursday.
Julie
Taymor and the producers of "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark"
"have reached an agreement in principle," Judge Katherine Forrest
said in court papers.
No
details were disclosed of the deal, which ended the dispute between the Tony
Award-winning director and the producers of the show, estimated to have cost
some $75 million.
Taymor
was forced out of her job in March 2011 after the show, which features music by
Bono and The Edge, saw a string of accidents, repeated delays to opening night
and mocking reviews.
Taymor
sued her former colleagues for copyright infringement, saying the ultimately
successful show was partly based on her work.
Among
the embarrassments in the musical's early days was a horrific injury to a stunt
man and the departure of a lead actress.
