MANHATTAN — Spider-Man just can't seem to swing it on Broadway.
The opening of the troubled musical, "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark," was delayed yet again on Thursday. The play will now open on March 15, the New York Post reported, instead of Feb. 7.
Broadway's most expensive musical to date has suffered several setbacks since previews began Nov. 28. It shut down for two nights in December after a stunt man was seriously injured during a preview performance.
Christopher Tierney suffered a hairline skull fracture, four broken ribs, a bruised lung and three broken vertebrae after his 25-foot plunge off the stage on Dec. 20.
Over the course of the show, three other actors have also been injured, and stars who initially planned to be part of the show, including Evan Rachel Wood and Alan Cummings have dropped out, according to reports.
The injuries prompted investigations from the state Labor Department and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
But the danger associated with the show seems to have done wonders for its ticket sales — the musical beat out "Wicked" last week for top office performer, according to the Wall Street Journal.
