Making a Broadway musical based on the super hero Spider Man is proving to be as good an idea as making a Superman action figure out of Kryptonite.  Lead actress Natalie Mendoza has reportedly left the production with music scored by Bono and The Edge of U2 a couple of weeks after she sustained a concussion during one of the preview performances (story).  Several other cast members have suffered an array of injuries during rehearsals and preview performances of the technically challenging production.  Dec. 20 a stunt double for Spider Man was sent to the hospital after a fall of around 20 feet.  The musical, already nearly a year behind schedule, could face further delays unless an understudy is able to step into the role being vacated by Mendoza.
