Broadway Spider-Man Tried to Hire Aaron Sorkin

Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark: The show may suck, but the drama keeps getting better and better!

Sadly, Sorkin demurred, thus almost automatically precluding Spider-Man from ever uttering a line like, ““I’m five-foot-eleven, 160 pounds, and I shoot webs out of my wrists.” [NYP]
