Actor falls during musical

AN actor on the accident-prone set of U2’s troubled Broadway musical Spider-Man, Turn Off The Dark, fell about 30ft during a performance.

Firefighters were called to the Foxwoods Theatre at about 10.45pm on Tuesday and the 31-year-old actor was taken to Bellevue Hospital with minor injuries, police said. His name was not immediately released.

Rick Miramontez, a spokesman for the production, said the actor fell about seven minutes before the end of the performance and the show was stopped.
