NEW YORK — “Smash,” the Broadway show based on the NBC series of the same name, announced on the heels of a disappointing Tony Awards that it will be closing curtains later this month.

The stage musical — which traces the roller coaster of making a Broadway hit centered on Marilyn Monroe’s starry origin story — will end its brief tenure at the Imperial Theatre on June 22, Variety and Playbill report.

News of the pending closure comes just two months after the Tony-nominated production opened on April 10, with a score from Marc Shaiman and Scott Witt. But, much like the Emmy-winning series that inspired it, the show had high aspirations but has hit many a low note.

The New York Times reports that the show’s weekly grosses peaked at $1 million for the week ending April 20 but ended this past week grossing a measly $656,161. For the latter period, Variety notes that the Imperial was at 66% capacity.

Reviewing the stage rendition for the Daily News, Chris Jones recently bemoaned the new “Smash” for lacking “quality of surprise.”

“Especially given the level of talent involved here, the adaptation will be deeply disappointing even for die-hard fans of the source material,” which became a cult favorite and even netted six Emmy nominations, winning one for Outstanding Choreography.

“Smash” aired for two seasons on NBC from 2012 to 2013 and starred Debra Messing, Jack Davenport, Katharine McPhee and Anjelica Huston, as well as real-life Broadway stars Christian Borle and Megan Hilty.

Though the Broadway iteration scored two Tony nominations — Best Choreography (Joshua Bergasse) and Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical (Brooks Ashmanskas) — “Smash” was snubbed for Best Musical consideration at Sunday’s awards show.

The show, directed by Susan Stroman, couldn’t even perform during the broadcast, despite requesting to do so, per The Times.
