The Broadway musical “Here Lies Love” that shows the life of Imelda Marcos will close this November following low ticket sales.

According to a Deadline report, the extensive renovation of the Broadway Theatre to match the musical’s narrative was expensive to maintain. This led to the production losing money since tickets were not selling out, marking the show among “Broadway’s priciest flops in recent years.”

“When we started this journey to bring this bold and original work to Broadway, we asked ourselves: Can anyone produce on Broadway in a new way? Is there a new path forward?” the producers said in a statement.

“We have learned a great deal about the answers to those questions. Yes, new ways can work. Artistic excellence can be achieved. But the reality is, succeeding on Broadway means not only producing excellent work with artistic merit — it also means creating the audience for it," they added.

David Byrne and DJ Fatboy Slim’s “Here Lies Love” will run its final performance on November 26.
