PETER, WHO? tells the story of a nerdy high school senior named Peter, who wants to be special, wants to stop being invisible to the other students, and maybe even talk to the girl that sits behind him in chemistry. But after he’s bitten by a radioactive spider at a Science Expo he has to learn how hard being ‘special’ can be.

Formerly known as The Spidey Project, PETER, WHO? is an unauthorized musical parody of everyone’s favorite web-slinging spider-based superhero. The show started in response to the media outcry surrounding Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, questioning how much money and how long a show takes to open… So in under thirty days, for no money whatsoever, The Spidey Project opened in NYC and quickly became a viral hit and international sensation being reported on as far away as Japan.
