As I've tweeted yesterday via @steveonbroadway, I applaud you for offering the best perspective on Monday night's SPIDER-MAN mishap yet. (I also posted on my blog)
From Mary Martin's autobiography: "The wire slipped a cog on top and dropped me 30 feet, then whiplashed me back again hard......the shock had jammed every nerve and muscle in my back so painfully that for months I had to have deadening shots up and down my spine to ease the pain enough to perform."
Oh please. Give me a break. The word retard means slow. People are too sensitive to words like this these days. Sorry to offend you, but I found it hilarious.
Mary Martin did have injuries when she played in "Peter Pan," once to shied herself from a possible broken elbow she broke a bone in her arm instead, and she had many more minor injuries.
@AustinBaby1943 Actually, she broke the bone not during the show's main runs, but in the first rehearsal for the 1960 television taping when the stagehands who were handling the weights of the flying mechanism were awe-struck at the effect with Mary Martin.
@nottocenna - My god. Seriously? Stop being so PC. That's what's ruining the world. Get over yourself and accept words for not only their meaning, but their slang as well. You know how many gay friends I have who use the word 'gay' in a derogatory manner? Deal with it. Christ. You're pathetic.
On a different note: Julie Taymor is an incredible director and I fully support this show. I'm an actor, lighting designer, and fight choreographer and seriously admire the concept and ingenuity
@petermmarino hey peter if this doesn't go viral i'll eat my hat. and making a point with humour is a good thing. great work. seriously now let's hope people stop getting hurt in this production.
FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU
SPIDER MAN IS NOT PETER PANS RETDRED BROTHER

Mary Martin injured herself twice in Peter Pan. Once seriously. She was slammed into a wall during a rehearsal.

You know what? I'm done.
I think if you had a special needs child you would not be so flippant about the use of the word retarded.
But if you choose not to see, nuttin I can do about it.
Merry Christmas.

Let's be fair, the bears might have been on deadline. They burned Mary Martin's book long ago to stay warm.

People used to say "get over it" about the "N" word, too, IdolsMusic.
I thought the skit was a wonderfully humous way to address a really bad situation at Spiderman. Petermmarino and his Bears did a great job!
But - as a retired teacher, I don't see the funny in belittling people of different abilities. That's not being sensitive. That's being aware.
