"Simon Cowell and Harry Hill&amp;#039;s X Factor musical I Can&amp;#039;t Sing! is to close on London&amp;#039;s West End in two weeks time. The final performance of the musical - which stars former EastEnders actor Nigel Harman - will take place at the London Palladium on Saturday, May 10.  The closure comes just over two months after the production&amp;#039;s first preview performance on March 5. The musical officially opened several weeks ago on March 26. Rebecca Quigley, CEO of Stage Entertainment UK, said: &amp;quot;We are sad to be bringing I Can&amp;#039;t Sing! to a close, but are immensely proud to have co-produced the show. The West End can be an unpredictable place as the closure of a number of high profile productions recently has shown.  &amp;quot;I Can&amp;#039;t Sing! has had audiences on their feet night after night, four and five star reviews from the critics and an amazing company and creative team, but it seems that isn&amp;#039;t always enough.  I Can&amp;#039;t Sing! review: Does Harry Hill musical have The X Factor? &amp;quot;To open any big musical, and particularly a brand new British musical comedy at the London Palladium, is no mean feat and hundreds of dedicated people have played a part in bringing this unique and wonderful show to the stage. I thank every one of those people and the audiences who have come to see the production.&amp;quot; Meanwhile, Syco Entertainment&amp;#039;s Nigel Hall added: &amp;quot;From the moment Harry Hill and Steve Brown told us their idea for I Can&amp;#039;t Sing!, we knew this was going to be a fun project. Alongside Stage Entertainment, we&amp;#039;d like to thank the cast and crew who have worked so hard on this show.  &amp;quot;To everyone at Really Useful Theatres and the ever supportive staff at the London Palladium, and everyone involved in I Can&amp;#039;t Sing!, I&amp;#039;d like to say a huge thanks and the very best of luck with their next venture.&amp;quot;  The musical has encountered a number of difficulties in recent months, after initial previews were postponed because of technical difficulties. A performance of I Can&amp;#039;t Sing! on March 17 was abandoned at the interval following a major electrical fault. Ticket holders for shows after May 10 are advised to contact their point of purchase.
