Spider-Man The Musical?

A number of sites have picked up the story of there being a Spider-Man Broadway musical in the works, directed by Tony Award-winner Julie Taymor, book by Taymor and Glen Berger, and music and lyrics by U2's Bono and The Edge. They all lead back to superherohype.com, which got a casting breakdown from an anonymous user. But this same basic story appeared on Playbill.com back on July 8, 2004.

So is this real or an April (15th) Fools joke? The casting breakdown is kinda hilarious:

[ARACHNE] Female, 20-35 years old, any ethnicity. A beautiful, boastful young woman turned into a spider for her hubris and lack of respect for the gods. She subsequently appears to Peter Parker and the audience as in turn a powerful spider-woman who comes from another time to inspire Peter; an otherworldly lover; a bride; a terrifying (and sexy) dark goddess of vengeance; a dance partner in a charged and violent spiders dance of death; and, finally, a lonely, fragile young woman. Possesses an ethereal, unique, gorgeous singing voice. Strong Celtic, Balkan style, e.g., Sinead O'Connor. Outside the box ideas are welcomed. Could be someone from the music industry.
