Biggest Broadway Show In Crisis


MyFox.com is reporting that ambulances rushed to Broadway's Foxwoods Theatre during a preview of Turn Off the Dark tonight in New York City.

A cable reportedly snapped during the middle of the second act.  Audience members heard screaming, followed by a call for 911.  The show was then cancelled.

This is the fourth time that Spiderman, which is Broadway's most expensive production, has been halted due to the injury of a cast or crew-member.

The show officially opens in February, a date which has been pushed back twice (and perhaps a third time after this accident).

U2's Bono and The Edge developed the soundtrack and the show was directed by Broadway vet, Julie Taymor.
