Phew ? I gauge ? Turn off the Dark has been plagued with reverse and injuries since the very start , but mostly “ just ” wiped out ft and ankles . Assuming the Twitter reports are exact , a two - story fall in the midsection of a performance would strike out a novel Sir David Low for the product , ( assuming the producer are n’t actively trying to harm their actors ) only a few weeks before it ’s due to open up .

And , look , it ’s already a stretch to make back the mad amount of money that ’s already been pass into it . A ( near ? ) tragedy like this wo n’t help its outlook — in fact , it very well could bolt down it . But who bonk ? It ’s already the most talked - about melodious on Broadway . perhaps it ’ll be a freak - show smasher for people hoping to see someone die !

Update : BothNYPDandFDNYhave confirmed that “ a 31 - year - old adult male ” was taken to Bellevue Hospital Center for treatment following a tumble . Apparently , the job was a humbled rope . Broadway World talk with an EMT in the audiencewho believe the injury is n’t as grave as reverence :

I was in the interview and i ’m an NY EMT . Although i am not involved with the care of the patient role they did n’t use a back - board and neckband so they do n’t suspect spinal hurt . The ambulance stayed on site longer then expected leading to believe the accidental injury is n’t vital . ”
