According to The Daily, Bono and U2 guitarist The Edge, who helped create the show and recruited Taymor as director, saw the show in New York after returning from their tour of South Africa. Bono suggested some improvements, but she wasn't receptive.

"She's an artist, and she's proprietary and territorial. She was standing in the way of fixing it," a source said. "Bono will do some more work on the show. He really feels it can be a masterpiece, as opposed to a survivability test for young actors. Bono and Edge will make it more of a Broadway musical."

"Taymor didn't want to make changes. Her attitude was 'take it or leave it'" another insider said. "When she lost the trust of Bono, that was it."

The New York Times is reporting that negotiations are under way to either expand the show's creative team, or possibly have Taymor leave altogether. The cable channel NY1 and the New York Daily News are reporting that she has already left the production, citing unnamed sources.

It's also being reported that the show may incur yet another setback and will push its opening date until June, instead of next Tuesday.
