For Broadway's 'Spider-Man,' the Show Must Go On...Or Must It?

The Takeaway | Dec 22, 2010

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."

We all know art is about pushing boundaries, but how many injuries indicate a show has gone beyond its own limits?

Be alert for scams. WNYC never asks for nor accepts money for coverage or interviews. Anyone making such a request does not represent WNYC.
