Julie Taymor, Glen Berger, and 8 Legged Productions LLC, the producer of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, announce that the pending litigation between them has been settled by mutual agreement of all parties.

The parties' settlement agreement resolves Taymor's claims against 8 Legged in connection with her work on the book of the musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, with respect to both the current New York production and subsequent productions.

All claims between all of the parties in the litigation have been resolved.

Michael Cohl and Jeremiah Harris of 8 Legged Productions said in a joint statement: "We're happy to put all this behind us. 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."

Berger said, "I am very glad the parties have put the claims behind them. I look forward to seeing fruitful work from all those involved."

According to The New York Times and Associated Press, the new agreement allows the show's producers to go ahead with possible plans for an arena tour or sit-down productions in Las Vegas and elsewhere. The deal also allows for a more attractive financial arrangement for a show that has been making progress toward profitability in small increments. The Times quotes an unnamed source as saying, "As a result of the settlement the Broadway production has been re-engineered so it'll be easier for Spider-Man to eventually make a profit."
