spiderman is creating controversy – Amazing! ‘Spider-Man’ Swings Back into Action with Accident-Free Show

Broadway’s much-troubled ‘Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark’ musical resumed performances on Thursday night with new safety protocols in place following Monday night’s accident when a stunt performer plunged 30 feet when a cable snapped during an aerial stunt the musical’s fourth accident since October.

No accidents or major delays in the show. The cast and crew was ecstatic.

“It was like nothing you’ve ever seen in a Broadway show before,” said Rick Mars, who watched the show Thursday.

“It’s a safer show now, show star Reeve Carney (right) said as he signed autographs after the performance. “The stunts were the highlight of the show, I mean the audience would go nuts every time they’d start flying over the audience.” During Monday night’s performance, 31-year-old actor Christopher Tierney fell at least 20 feet while performing a stunt. Then again, the show had been scheduled to go on last night and was canceled late in the day.

“It was always safe, but now it’s safer. “You know, anything is possible,” Assemblyman Rory Lancman (D-Queens) said after a midday news conference at the Foxwoods Theater. “We gave our blessing,” department spokesman Leo Rosales said. “If you weren’t nervous tonight, you’d have to be an idiot,” he said. “I think he was meant to sort of swoop over there, but he just fell off…. Tierney remains hospitalized with cracked ribs. The show’s director and co-writer, Julie Taymor, credited the show’s injured actor, Christopher Tierney, with inspiring the cast to rise above recent troubles. That second person will then be in contact with the stage manager to verify the measures have been completed. “We all got together before the show tonight and talked about Chris,” she told The Associated Press after the show. I felt even safer today considering all the measures they put in place following Monday.” Lancman said he doesn’t know whether the understudy filling Tierney’s costume was up to the job, but it’s an important question for producers to answer.

The show canceled its matinee performance on Wednesday in order to rehearse the new protocols. The show’s director and co-writer, Julie Taymor, says that Christopher Tierney, the actor recovering from his injuries after his scary fall this week, gets the credit with inspiring the cast to rise above recent troubles.
