Andrew Lloyd Webber's new West End musical is to close after less than four months.
The British theatre mogul launched Stephen Ward, based on the true story of a British politician's affair with the mistress of an alleged Russian spy, in December.
But producers have confirmed the production is to close on March 29 due to slow ticket sales.
Producer Robert Fox says, "I am very proud of the show and our wonderful company ... I am very sad to see the show close in London but firmly believe this piece will be seen by many audiences in the future."
The story of the John Profumo affair previously hit the big screen in 1989 movie Scandal, which starred Joanne Whalley, Bridget Fonda, Ian McKellen and John Hurt.
