ꩲAn actor in the Broadway musical “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” could not save himself from a real-life mishap when a lift malfunctioned, sending him through a trapdoor, acꦺcording to a lawsuit.
Daniel Curry, 23, was seriously injured during th🧔e Aug. 13 performance at the Foxwoods Theatre on West 42nd Street, he says in the Manhattan Supreme Court papers filed Monday.
“The lift is meant to lift meꩵ and another cast member to the stage by a computer program witho🦂ut any maneuvering on my part,” Curry said.
“As a result of the lift, I sustained fractured legs, fractured foot and have underwent surgeries and amputations,” the Minnesota-born actor🔴 says ꦗin the court papers.
C𓂃urry, who attended La Guardia HS of Music and Performing Arts in the Big Apple, is suing 8 Legged Productions for information about the accid🐽ent that stopped the show while he was being sawed out of the stage.
The dancer wants the company th💮at is responsible for special-effects𝔍 equipment to hand over evidence related to his harrowing fall.
🔯Two other actors were injured while performing stunts dur🀅ing “Spider-Man.”
A spokesman for 8 Legged Productions said everyone from the disaster-plagued show “is extraordinarily 🦩concerned with Daniel’s well-being.” He added, “The producers have done an extensive internal investigation, and are confident that the production and its equipment were in no way responsible for the unfortunate incident.” Previously the spokesman, Rick Miramontez, blamed low ticket sales on Curry’s “very public trauma,” which producers attributed to “human error.”
