Answer:

Wilde (2004)

Step-by-step explanation:

West End theatre, famous musical production in London, made a show that should have celebrated the 150th anniversary of the birth of Oscar Wilde. It went by the name of Wilde or Oscar – The Musical.

Yet, the musical was closed just after one night in Shaw Theatre in London making it the shortest running musical on West End ever.

It was directed by Mike Read and the role of the famous writer was portrayed by Peter Blake. There weren’t many people in the audience, and the reviews were terrible – the famous newspaper Guardian did not give it any stars on a 1 to 5-star scale. In order to avoid further embossment, all further performances were canceled.
