New York ( CNN ) -- A Broadway actor who fell more than 20 feet during an aerial stunt in the musical `` Spider-Man : Turn Off the Dark , '' has been released from a rehabilitation center in New York , a show spokesman said . Christopher Tierney , 31 , was released from New York University 's Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine on Wednesday morning , according to spokesperson Sam Corbett . Tierney was moved into the institute after being discharged from Bellevue Hospital on December 28 . He suffered four broken ribs , a hairline skull fracture , a broken scapula , or shoulder blade ; a bruised lung , three cracked vertebrae and broken bones below his elbow as a result of his fall , his father said . `` He is up , '' Tim Tierney said . `` He is walking and just doing very well . '' He noted that his son is looking forward to returning to the show . Several of the performances were canceled following the December 20 incident , as new safety measures were put in place following a meeting with officials from the Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration . Tierney said Tuesday that he is looking forward to returning to the show and is not concerned about his own safety . `` I 'm not worried about it , '' he said . `` They 've got it well taken care of . '' Another actor in the show , Patrick Page , said the new measures have increased communication between actors and safety personnel . The show , with music and lyrics by U2 's Bono and The Edge , is said to be the most expensive in Broadway history . But the behind-the-scenes drama at the $ 65 million production ­ -- including a series of mishaps resulting in actor injuries -- has continued to raise questions over its safety record .
