"Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark" actress Natalie Mendoza has left the production in the wake of an on-stage injury she suffered in November, leaving the musical without a performer occupying the pivotal role of Arachne.
But the role is no longer vacant, as Reuters reports that actress Teresa Carpio is succeeding Mendoza as the "Spider-Man" musical's new Arachne. She'll take over the role as of tonight's performance, having already played the part during the numerous previews since Mendoza's accident.
Mendoza and producers announced the actor's departure from "Turn off the Dark" at the end of last year, citing her need to recover from a head injury sustained during the show's first preview performance in November.
Although she's taking over the role from Mendoza, Carpio was already part of the "Spider-Man" family. The actress was originally cast in the show as Miss Arrow, one of the friendly neighborhood web-slinger's many enemies.
