After months of setbacks, on-set injuries and pushed back opening nights, Spider-Man fans and U2 fans will finally get what they’ve all been waiting for: the official Broadway premiere of “Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark.” Two of the show’s writers explain the process of bringing the show to the stage.

Roberto Aguirre Sacasa has been with the project since February, when he was brought in to re-write the book with Berger.
