Sting's Broadway musical to close just three months after debut
Sting's Broadway musical will be closing early on 24 January, after just three months of debut.
'The Last Ship,' a story of unemployed shipbuilders who take over a factory to build a new vessel, opened on 26 October, 2014 to mixed reviews, the BBC reported.
In December, Sting stepped in to replace leading man Jimmy Nail in a bid to revive flagging ticket sales. His appearance had a "galvanizing impact," but producers felt attendance would drop when he left, especially during the slow winter period.
News of the closure comes after Broadway theatres reported a record-breaking year for attendance and box-office takings in 2014.
