The former Police frontman composed the music for the play, eventually joining the cast to help boost ticket sales. But even the singer's involvement onstage was not enough to save the production. Poor sales during the holiday rush contributed to the show's demise, "The New York Times" reports."We have been bewildered and saddened by our inability to sustain an audience for this musical that we deeply love," the producers wrote in a statement.
