‘Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark’ actor sues over injuries

An 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, according to a lawsuit.

Daniel Curry, 23, was seriously injured during the 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 me and another cast member to the stage by a computer program without 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 in the court papers.

Curry, who attended La Guardia HS of Music and Performing Arts in the Big Apple, is suing 8 Legged Productions for information about the accident that stopped the show while he was being sawed out of the stage.

The dancer wants the company that is responsible for special-effects equipment to hand over evidence related to his harrowing fall.

Two other actors were injured while performing stunts during “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.”
