A Broadway musical about the life of John Lennon is being pulled after just six weeks.
The production, which has disappointed audiences and been mauled by critics, will appear for the last time at New York's Broadhurst Theatre on September 24.
Created with the help of the artist's widow Yoko Ono, the show has been criticised for being biased towards Ono's life with him and neglectful towards the earlier parts of his career and relationships with other women.
Featuring two unreleased Lennon tracks and a black actor as bandmate Paul McCartney, the production has nine people playing the star, an idea which has done little to ingratiate it with audiences.
