Spider-Man’s a deadbeat, court papers charge.
In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Patricia Lambrecht says the producers of the beleaguered musical “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” have stiffed her to the tune of over $600,000.
Lambrecht said she got drawn into the show’s web back in 2009, when she put up $2.5 million in collateral to secure the show’s obligation to restore the West 42nd Street theater in which it’s housed when the production is over.
In return, the suit says, Spidey agreed to pay her a $368,750 “facility fee.”
“Because of production delays, Spider-Man requested that plaintiff extend the pledge of the collateral,” the suit says. Lambrecht agreed — for another $985,000.
The musical and another company called 8 Legged have forked over $360,000 of that cash, but have yet to pay the other $625,000, the suit says.
The action seeks to shake the money out of Spidey’s pockets, with interest going back to march.
The show is the priciest in Broadway history, having cost an estimated $75 million.
