Broadway’s Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark Delays Opening — Again — to March 15

The Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, now playing at the Foxwoods Theatre, has postponed its opening , with a new opening date set for March 15.

The show features music and lyrics by Bono and The Edge of the band U2, and a book by director Julie Taymor and Glen Berger.

The show, which began previews on November 28, had previously announced opening dates in December 2010 and this month, and it most recently been scheduled to open on February 7. According to a statement released by lead producer Michael Cohl, this will be the final postponement.

Since previews began, actor Christopher Tierney — the main aeralist for the show — was seriously injured in an onstage accident on December 20, and actress Natalie Mendoza, who originated the role of Arachne, was injured off-stage in early December and subsequently departed the show earlier this month.
