New York - The trouble-plagued Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark has hired a veteran director to help with the show's sound and arrangements.

Show spokesperson Rick Miramontez says Paul Bogaev will be working with U2's Bono and The Edge on the music for the $65m show.

Bogaev was musical director on Andrew Lloyd Webber's Starlight Express and Sunset Boulevard.

Spider-Man is set to open March 15. It has been delayed several times, had a main actress quit and suffered numerous accidents that have left several actors hospitalised.

Bogaev won a Tony nomination in 2004 for his work on Bombay Dreams. He has a history of working with rock musicians who are crafting musicals, including Tarzan with Phil Collins and Aida with Elton John.
