Julie Taymor will leave her post as the director of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.

The troubled production has also delayed opening night from March 15 “to an evening in the early summer, 2011,” producers said in a statement.

The show is also set to be revamped with new music, sound, staging, and book rewrites before the opening.

“Julie Taymor is not leaving the creative team,” producers Michael Cohl and Jeremiah J. Harris said. “Julie‘s previous commitments mean that past March 15th, she cannot work the (daily) 24/7 necessary to make the changes in the production in order to be ready for our opening.”

Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark has hit another setback after an actor in the production was injured in a fall on Monday night (December 20).

“Theatergoers…said they saw a performer playing the title hero fall about 8 to 10 feet into a pit during the closing minutes of the show, and that some equipment fell into the audience when this occurred,” the New York Times reports.

A spokeswoman for the show confirmed that the injured actor was not Reeve Carney but did not otherwise identify the performer who was injured in the fall.

Spider-Man recently delayed its official opening to February 7 to accommodate creative changes.

Hope everyone is okay!

Reeve Carney makes an appearance on Good Morning America on Friday (September 10) in New York City to perform a song from Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark!

The 27-year-old Carney frontman performed “Boy Falling From The Sky” from U2 and Julie Taymor‘s musical, which hits Broadway in previews beginning November 14.
