After days of meetings about safety problems, the $65 million musical flew and danced and sang the way it was supposed to, considering that it is still a work in progress. Also, Natalie Mendoza, who suffered a concussion at the troubled-musical’s first preview Nov. 28, was out again Thursday reportedly on what a spokesman for the company called “vocal rest.” Mendoza was replaced by T.V. Rory Lancman, chairman of the subcommittee on workplace safety, at a news conference outside the theater at noon. After undergoing back surgery, the 31-year-old lead stunt double for Spider-Man remained in the hospital Thursday in serious condition with injuries that included broken ribs and internal bleeding. Eric Adams (D-Prospect Heights), also at the news conference, announced he is proposing a bill that would call for the formation of a task force to analyze the safety of workers and audience members at the Foxwoods Theatre, where the show is appearing, and presumably other Broadway theaters, though the details have not been fully hashed out, he said.
