The show, a story of a Nubian princess, her forbidden love and her backstabbing best friend cavorting in ancient Egypt, had a moderately successful run on Broadway for four and a half years, but producers decided to shutter the project because it wasn't making the kind of cash they had hoped.
To be fair, Aida had a relatively bumpy start--the production was overhauled several times before it opened, Elton John stormed out of a preview because he thought it stunk, and the show received fairly scathing reviews from New York critics.
