Ousted director of ‘Spider-Man’ musical settles with producers

Tony-winning director Julie Taymor and the producers of “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” say they’ve finally settled their venomous legal battle over her ouster from the helm of Broadway’s most expensive show.

Terms of the deal they spun weren’t revealed, but a statement today from both sides said it covered Taymor’s claims “with respect to both the current New York production and subsequent productions.”

“We’re happy to put all this behind us,” producers Michael Cohl and Jeremiah Harris said.

“We are now looking forward to spreading ‘Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark’ in new and exciting ways around the world.”

Taymor said: “I’m pleased to have reached an agreement and hope for the continued success of Spider-Man, both on Broadway and beyond.”

Lawyers involved in the case didn’t return request for comment.

Today’s announcement follows at least two tentative settlements that later fell apart, leading a Manhattan federal judge to order a May 28 trial.

Taymor sued for more than $1 million after she was fired following the $75 million show’s disastrous previews, claiming the producers ripped off her work when they revamped the problem-plagued musical.

In a stinging counter-suit, Cohl and Harris accused Taymor of poisoning their production by refusing to develop a “family-friendly” Broadway blockbuster and rejecting input from collaborators including U2’s Bono and The Edge.
