For Broadway’s ‘Spider-Man,’ the Show Must Go On…Or Must It?
The Broadway production of “Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark,” saw another crisis on Monday night, as one of its actors fell over 20 feet, severely injuring himself. This is the fourth performer to be hurt since September. David Cote, theater editor for Time Out: New York, says he has never seen anything like this. “This show is cursed.”
