The musical, which ran at the Longacre Theatre, will close on December 15 after a brief one-month run, marking a disappointing debut for the folk-rock band on the Great White Way.
This is the second new Broadway production to close quickly this season, following the short-lived run of the $15 million musical 'Flying Over Sunset' - a worrying sign for the industry as it continues to recover from the pandemic.
