The Spider Man production on Broadway, already overdue, over budget and drawing lackluster reviews, was dealt another blow during a recent performance when Natalie Mendoza, the actress cast as the female lead in the musical scored by Bono and The Edge of U2, suffered a concussion when she reportedly got whacked up side the head by a rope backstage.  Producer Michael Cohl issued a statement saying doctors had ordered the actress stay off the stage for what he said would be a 'brief time'.  The painful encounter with the flying rope was not the only miscue in the technically demanding special effects heavy show.  Mendoza was stranded while suspended above the audience when things went wrong during a Nov. 28 preview performance.
