Stage Struck

An actor was injured during Monday night's performance of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. That's either the fourth or fifth injury associated with this show…enough that folks at the New York State Department of Labor and at Actors' Equity have to be talking about stepping in. And there's probably some department somewhere that's concerned about, say, an actor falling on an audience member.

Back when Camelot was in out-of-town tryouts, they had a series of health problems. The first Costume Designer died unexpectedly. The author had a nervous collapse. The director had a heart attack. People began to say, "Camelot isn't a musical. It's a medical."
