"High Fidelity" won’t be making music on Broadway much longer. The $10 million musical based on Nick Hornby’s novel and the 2000 film about a slacker record-store owner will close Sunday after 14 performances and 18 previews. The stage version, which has music by Tom Kitt, lyrics by Amanda Green and a book by David Lindsay-Abaire, opened Dec. 7 to mostly negative reviews. It has done meager business at the Imperial Theatre, one of Broadway’s larger houses, since beginning previews there Nov. 20. Last week it grossed only $282,734, playing to 45 percent capacity.

I don’t know I thought it was an ok movie, who really thought it would be a great musical?
