Reeve Carney, Jennifer Damiano and T.V. Carpio will perform the song "Rise Above" on Tuesday's show, marking the first time members of the $65 million musical will be guests on a late-night talk show.
The trio will tape the show at Letterman's home at the Ed Sullivan Theater and perform the "Spider-Man" musical that evening at the Foxwoods Theatre.
Like most late-night comics, Letterman has ridiculed the show's delays, injuries and ballooning costs, including having a "Top Ten Signs Your Wife Is Having an Affair With Spider-Man."
A spokesman for the musical says producers have been "flattered" by the attention and "wanted to return the favor by boosting his ratings on Tuesday."
