Theatre Actors Call For Spider-Man Musical To End

Theatre Actors Call For Spider Man Musical To End

(HMG Celebrity News) ? The $65 million Broadway spectacle ?Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark? is facing some dark odds of continuing, after the fourth medical mishap to mar the show occurred Monday.�� Spider-Man? stunt man Christopher Tierney,� was badly hurt when he fell 30 ft. and suffered cracked ribs and other internal injuries.� Tierney, 32, reportedly underwent back surgery Wednesday.� The producers of the Broadway spectacle announced Wednesday they agreed with federal and state worker-safety authorities to cancel tonight?s� show while they implement new safety protocols.� The show is currently under investigation by both the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the New York state Department of Labor.� Meanwhile Theater actors are also stepping up the pressure to end the production. Rent star Adam Pascal wrote on Facebook, ?They should put Julie Taymor in jail for assault! ? I hope [actor Christopher Tierney] is ok and sues the shit out of Julie, Bono, Edge and every other asshole who invested in that steaming pile of actor-crippling shit!?� Tony-winning actress Alice Ripley said on Twitter, ?Does someone have to die? Where is the line for the decision makers, I am curious. Spider-Man should be ashamed of itself. This is completely unacceptable and embarrassing to working actors everywhere.? It?s a tough situation for investors to walk away from however. I have seen calculations that it will take about 4 years of sold out shows, before the show even begins to make up its $65 million initial investment.
