'High Fidelity' Broadway musical to close

The £50m Broadway musical of Nick Hornby novel High Fidelity is to close after only ten days.

The show opened on December 7, but even then was playing to a half empty venue, and things have not improved, BBC News reports.

New York Times theatre critic Ben Brantley said it was in the "roster of all-time most forgettable musicals," while Variety's David Rooney noted: "This bland show is crippled by its failure to convincingly tap the pulse of pop culture or to mine the romantic heartache of its source material."
