Details on SPIDER-MAN's Christopher Tierney's Accident and Condition

Not a surprise it was MUCH worse than the production initially (and still has admitted). It sounds like it's going to be a long and hard recovery but if anyone can do it, it'll be Chris.

Spider-Man’ Actor Was Fortunate to Survive, Father Says

Anyone else wonder if the actors all signed something prior to starting agreeing never to sue should anything go wrong?

Jordan, I was wondering the same thing.

These are the interwebs, Phyllis. Everything is out business.

"Not a surprise it was MUCH worse than the production initially (and still has admitted)."

I wonder if the production/producers were only allowed to limited information. It could have been at the family's request. Just a thought.

Disneyland,

While I am sorry for Chris's injuries. Let me say that I find your need of online potations laughable considering your username. You do realize that Disney is not known for being the best place for actors to work at. There have been loads of actor related injuries at their shows and parks. I just find it rather funny that you are preaching the death of the spider-man musical. Yet, your username supports the Disney organisation.

I am sure the Producers are making sure Mr Tierney will not experience financial hardship anytime in the near future. It would behoove them to keep this low key and out of the courts.

This thread is not about Disney, so I find it offensive that you open your response with "While I'm sorry", as if it is not something important whatsoever that Chris might never get to work again, so that you can trash the Walt Disney Company, which before you brought it up, wasn't even mentioned in this thread.

Some of you people are so hard-pressed to see ANYTHING negative come out of Spider-Man. It makes me wonder if the Spidey team is paying you off as well.

Reality check, there are things called bad musicals. Sometimes they cost a lot of money. And it makes the world a better place to have them fall on their face so that other Broadway producers can learn from those mistakes to create better work. If Spider-Man fails, it wont be the end of Broadway. It wont be the end of people taking risks. Edgier works that aren't commercially driven with limited production values will start to pop up even more. Next To Normal won a Pulitzer Prize for being NOTHING like Spider-Man.

Thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

Would Equity even allow one? I doubt it.

Because I want it to close! That trash doesn't belong on a Broadway stage.

Other people's opinions might differ, and I do respect that though I don't understand why. I paid to see Shrek and it was one of the worst theatrical experiences that I've ever sat through. And that had better music than this.

I compare it to Next To Normal because Julie insists she's making art. Not only is she credited as Director, she's also credited as BOOK WRITER. There is no art in what I've heard of this book. Next To Normal is a Pulitzer Prize winning musical. An award given for creating REAL dramatic art relevant to American audiences.

When this production of Spider-Man closes, whether it flops or is a hit, what's left of the actual show, the book music and lyrics is horrid beyond belief. At least "most" other spectacle shows have something tangibly good behind them that can be taken away once the spectacle of THIS PRODUCTION shuts down.

Remember, a show continues to exist after the initial production. In script and score form only.

"Other people's opinions might differ, and I do respect that though I don't understand why."

It's like a foutian of stupid.
