The mixed-reviewed, hugely expensive and actor-cursed Spider-Man Broadway musical just claimed another victim.

In a month, two actors were injured (one with a broken wrist) during a flying sequence and an actress suffered a concussion.

This time Spider-Man actor Christopher Tierney fell 30 feet when his harness allegedly malfunctioned during a performance.

producers of Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark allegedly met with federal and state labor officials and the Actors’ Equity union today on just what to do about the curse (actually, about additional safety measures).

Meanwhile, Tierney remains in serious condition with internal bleeding, broken ribs (according to the New York Times, from an unnamed source who claims to know from where he/she speaks on the condition of anonymity) and everything else you might expect from someone falling onto a hard stage floor from three stories.

It seems that the most expensive stage show in history could throw some money for a safety net.

Or, as with the Circus of Horrors, spectators will line up just to see who will be the next victim.
