Troubled Broadway musical “Spider-Man” — the most expensive show ever created for the Great White Way — appears headed for another delay, as producers weigh a decision to push its opening back to February

The New York Times, citing two unnamed sources involved with “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark,” yesterday said moving it from a planned Jan. 11 debut would allow creators to stage a new final number, rewrite some dialogue and add or delete scenes.

A spokesman for the show declined comment.

Based on the comic book, “Spider-Man” is directed by Julie Taymor, with music from U2’s Bono and The Edge, and cost upward of $65 million to bring to the stage.

But with a lot of high-tech effects and actors and actresses soaring over the audience in wire riggings, the show has been fraught with problems.
