Idol-inspired musical voted off after one night

Mon Aug 13, 7:05 PM ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A musical inspired by the hit reality television show "American Idol" has been voted off the stage in New York -- closing one day after officially opening off Broadway.

"Idol: The Musical," touted as a "satirical musical comedy that focuses on the outrageous and delusional fan base of the hit television show," closed on Monday after two casts, 47 preview performances and one regular show.

Producer Todd Ellis said in a statement that he closed the production "due to a lack of advance ticket sales, a lack of positive feedback from audience members and critics and a lack of sustainable financial resources."

The $60-a-ticket show began previews on July 5 with the original cast from Syracuse, New York, where it was performed earlier this year. But by the end of July the 10-member cast had been replaced, without explanation, and fresh previews began on August 1 ahead of the opening night on August 12.

Labor Day Comes Early for an American Idol Hopeful

Dallas, TX - For the first time in American Idol history, an auditioner went into labor while waiting with 13,500 hopefuls for her chance to become the next singing superstar. On Monday, nine-months-pregnant Antoria Gillon arrived at Texas Stadium with hopes of becoming the next American Idol; however, as the time of her audition approached, she realized she was in labor. Determined not to miss her shot at fame, Gillon sang her heart out while in the midst of severe contractions. After completing the audition, she was taken to the Medical Center at Lancaster, where she gave birth to a healthy son -- whom she named Jamil Labarron Idol McCowan. Baby Idol arrived early Tuesday morning and weighed 6lbs 7oz. Congratulations to Mother and Son!
