The final curtain will come down this month on two Broadway shows, "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" and "Leap Of Faith."

The producers of "How To Succeed" say it will play its final performance on May 20.

The show was a hit when it opened in February 2011 with Daniel Radcliffe in the lead, but ticket sales slumped when he was replaced by Nick Jonas.

Despite a Tony nomination for Best Musical, "Leap Of Faith" will play its final performance this Sunday.

The show, which opened April 26 at the St. James Theatre, will have played only 20 regular performances at closing.

Producers say they have not been able to achieve a "sustainable level of ticket sales," despite a love for the production.
