(Reuters) - The Broadway musical "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" will close in January, the Wall Street Journal reported on its website on Monday, citing unnamed sources.

The production will announce its closure this week, the Journal's report said.

"Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark," the most expensive show staged on Broadway, had a rocky start with cast injuries during high-wire stunts and opening night delays.

The show has been running below its breakeven point for weeks, even though it is among the top shows in attendance figures, the report said.

A spokesman for the show did not immediately comment on the report.
