"The 1966 It&amp;#039;s a bird... It&amp;#039;s a Plane... It&amp;#039;s Superman musical will receive a 21st century update. The revamped version of Charles Strouse and Lee Adams&amp;#039; play - which was based on a book by Robert Benton and David Newman - will appear onstage at the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre in Dallas. The original featured none of Superman&amp;#039;s regular cast of characters other than Clark Kent and Lois Lane, but Sprouse and Adams are updating the story based on a new book by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Marvel Divas). The new version will include characters such as the genius supervillain Lex Luthor. &amp;quot;Luthor assembles a team of super-villains to do his dirty work for him, arming them each with a different coloured piece of kryptonite,&amp;quot; Aguirre-Sacasa told CBR. &amp;quot;The villains are all drawn from Superman&amp;#039;s history, recent and distant. The Prankster and Toyman, of course, and Magpie from John Byrne&amp;#039;s run, Terra-Man from the 1970s, the Scarlet Widow, who&amp;#039;s from the old radio serial and Hocus and Pocus, who will be like evil magicians from vaudeville.&amp;quot; The play will run from June 18 to July 25.
