Actress Departs Spider-Man

Natalie Mendoza, who notably suffered a concussion while performing in the Broadway mega-musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark after the show's first preview, has left the production, according to the New York Times.  The NY Times announcement sourced two representatives from the show who spoke to them on condition of anonymity "because the producers have forbid public comments given that the lawyers and others are still fine-tuning the language to explain Ms. Mendoza's departure, an artistic loss and embarrassing blow to the production."
