You Can Act & Sing to the Music of U2!

C’mon, you know you love to sing in the shower, belting it out at the top of your lungs, pretending that you’re on stage in front of thousands of people:

Still we’re building then BUR-ning down love
Buuuuuurning down love
Aaaaaand when I go there
I go there with youuuuu
It’s allllllll I can do

Despite reports that Spiderman, The Musical has already been cast, the producers have put out an open call — they say they’re looking to cast the two leads, Peter Parker and Mary Jane. Think of all the singing opportunities you’ll have! And you’ll be singing a score done by Bono and Edge. Hellz, yeah. Here’s all you need to know:
