STAGE TUBE: Jimmy Kimmel Unveils New SPIDER-MAN Spoof

Last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, they unveiled a new spoof commercial for SPIDER-MAN: Turn Off the Dark. 

SPIDER-MAN Turn Off The Dark is now in previews at Broadway's Foxwoods Theatre 213 West 42nd Street.

BroadwayWorld.com reported earlier this week that lead actress, T.V. Carpio, who plays the role of Arachne has been sidelined from the production with what we're told is 'whiplash' and is expected to be out for 2-3 weeks under doctor's orders. We've now been told that the injury occurred on stage during one of the show's many battle scenes. 

We've also confirmed that understudy America Olivo is expected to play the part until Carpio returns. Olivo previously filled in for the original Arachne, Natalie Mendoza, who departed the production back in December after receiving a concussion during a production backstage. We're also told by a production source that, unlike Mendoza was reported to be, Carpio is eager to return to work as soon as she's cleared to do so by doctors. 

As previously announced, Philip William McKinley and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa have joined the creative team to help implement new staging and book rewrites, respectively. The expanded creative team also includes musical consultant Paul Bogaev and sound designer Peter Hylenski.
