On Wednesday, a stagehand died backstage just prior to a performance of How to Succeed in Business on Broadway. Ironically, he had somehow survived months of working on Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark.

“Spider Woman”
Ousted director Julie Taymor says that Twitter harmed the production of Spider Man: Turn Off the Dark. Whereas Spider Man: Turn off the Dark only harmed its own actors.
The difference is, if Twitter crashes, no one's arms and legs get broken.

“Comic Book Ending”
Julie Taymor has stepped down as director of the "Spider-Man" Broadway musical. Before leaving the theater for the last time, however, she broke an actor's leg, for old time's sake.
She isn’t going far, though. Look for her on the web.

“Play Delay” or “Comical Booking”
The official opening day of the Broadway play "Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark" has been delayed for a fifth time until March 15. Like the actor who plays Spiderman in the show, the audience is once again left hanging.
After previous delays, he curtain was set to rise February 7th, but, like the cast, it keeps falling.
Due to the many cast changes through the rehearsal and preview process, producers are looking for some new actors, preferably ones who can sing, dance, and don’t mind having their wrists broken.

"Tangled Web”
http://www.usatoday.com/life/theater/news/2010-12-21-spider-man-actor-falls_N.htm
Another performer in the Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark was injured and taken to the hospital Monday, after falling 30 feet during an aerial stunt. His injuries were not serious, but doctors confirmed that there is an almost 0% chance of survival for the show.
Since they keep having all these accidents, maybe Turn off the Dark should Turn on the Lights.
The show centers on Peter Parker, a young man bitten by a radio-active spider, who must then use his powers to recover a $65 million investment.
Producers say they are concerned about safety and are taking every precation to prevent any further mishaps, but the actors have completely stopped telling each other to “break a leg.”
Insiders say that the performer would never have been hurt if he hadn’t gotten too close to the Edge. Or Bono.
