The Beatles’ Broadway musical, Let It Be is due to close early due to poor ticket sales
Whilst The New York Times may have hailed it ‘by far the best Beatles show yet’, the production, which was set to run until 29 December, will now cease from 1 September – almost four months earlier than planned.
The musical has played to only 50,000 theatre-goers since 24 July, grossing somewhere between £1.3-1.6 million, just a fraction of what it has achieved elsewhere.
The producers are hoping to take the show on tour of the U.S in 2014 and 2015, the same show is still running successfully in London’s West End.
