Spider-Man On Broadway Continues Despite Major Technical Issues

The most expensive Broadway show ever to be produced has faced numerous problems since it’s preview opening in November. On top of technical glitches, one actor broke both wrists during a flying stunt, and star Natalie Mendoza was struck by backstage equipment, leaving her with a concussion.

Lead producer Michael Cohl said in a statement:

“Due to some unforeseeable setbacks, most notably the injury of a principal cast member, it has become clear that we need to give the team more time to fully execute their vision.”

“Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark is an extremely ambitious undertaking, as everyone knows, and I have no intention of cutting a single corner in getting to the finish line,” he added.

Judging from the pictures and little video footage of the musical I’ve seen, this looks like a stellar production. I hope the problems will resolved and it will live up to it’s expectations. Pull it together, Spider-Man!
