Bono and The Edge, who wrote the music and lyrics for the
$70 million Broadway musical, previewed the "Spider-Man" soundtrack
Thursday night. The soundtrack will be released Tuesday, the day of the show's
official opening.
"Spider-Man" was set to open last year, but
there were injuries, creative problems and scathing early reviews during
previews. The opening was delayed several times, and Taymor, its director and
lead visionary, was fired.

Bono
says Taymor is brilliant, adding that perhaps she was so wrapped up in the
show, she got tired and "couldn't see it."
