The show opened in New York’s famed theatre district in February 2008 to huge acclaim, garnering a slew of awards later that year and recouping its $10 million (£6.66 million) production costs in less than 12 months.
But declining audience numbers have convinced bosses to halt the show’s run in January after almost three years, according to Variety.com.
The musical, which centres on the lives of residents of Manhattan neighbourhood Washington Heights, will end on a high note – creator/composer Miranda will return to the cast for the final 19 performances.
