<p>In what is perhaps an accident waiting to happen, an actor on the set of Broadway musical Spider-Man, Turn Off The Dark has fallen about 30ft during a performance.</p>
<p>Firefighters were called to the Foxwoods Theatre on Monday night and the 31-year-old actor was taken to Bellevue Hospital with minor injuries, police said. His name was not immediately released, but a performer in the show identified him as Christopher Tierney.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&#8220;All signs were good as he was taken to the hospital for observation,&#8221; Mr Miramontez said.</p>
<p>It is the fourth time an actor has been hurt in connection with the web-slinging production. The show&#8217;s official opening has been pushed back 27 days, from January 11 to February 7.</p>
<p>The £42 million musical was conceived by Tony Award-winning director and co-writer Julie Taymor and U2&#8217;s Bono and The Edge, who wrote the music.</p>
<p>More than eight years in the making, delays and money woes have plagued the show&#8217;s launch. Three other accidents have injured actors, including one who had both his wrists broken while practising an aerial stunt.</p>
<p>The first preview on November 28 did not go well. The musical had to be halted five times because of technical glitches and actress Natalie Mendoza &#8211; who plays Spider-Man&#8217;s evil love interest Arachne &#8211; was hit on the head by a rope and suffered concussion. Her injury kept her sidelined for two weeks.</p>
<p>The show may be about a comic-book hero, but its dilemmas have made it easy fodder for comics themselves.</p>
