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!
