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.

"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.
