Just some random things at the end of the day that have caught my eye.  First off, two Broadway shows have entered the Twitter-verse.  The Normal Heart can be found at @TheNormalHeart  and Jerusalem is @JerusalemBWY.  Both are part of the Broadway twitter feed here on ATW.

Elsewhere, this one came as news to me...The Kings Speech seems to have started as a play and there are plans afoot to produce it in London and on Broadway.  Further, Geoffrey Rush has announced that neither he nor Colin Firth have plans to appear in the piece onstage.  This was announced at a dinner at Brooklyn Academy of Music the other night and then, reported on Bloomberg.com.  To read the full story, click here.

The big story this week has been, of course, the fate of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.  The rampant speculation about changes in the creative team was finally confirmed with the announcement of the addition of Philip William McKinley and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa to the creative team.  McKinley will be working on new staging and playwright Aguirre-Sacasa -- who has also written comic books -- has come on board to work on the book.
