The producers of "Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark" have announced a current cast member will assume the role vacated by another actress.

T.V. Carpio will take on the role of the mythical spider-woman "Arachne."

She replaces Natalie Mendoza, who left the Broadway musical last week.

The $65 million production has been plagued by problems, the most notable of which involved an actor falling nearly 30 feet after his safety harness was not properly attached.

The show is scheduled to open on February 7.
