Hollywood actor Brendan Fraser's Broadway production of Oscar-nominated Norwegian film Elling has ended its run after just a week.
A show spokesman confirmed last week its final performance would be on 28 November.
The production, which officially opened on 21 November, received mixed reviews.
The New York Times said it lacked the "gentle humanity and sly, understated humour of the movie version".
The 2001 film was nominated for the best foreign language movie at the Academy Awards.
In the play, Fraser and co-star Denis O'Hare played two men who, having been released from a mental institution, have to adjust to normal life.
Mark Kennedy reviewed the production, at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, for The Associated Press.
