The Little Britain funnyman was devastated by the shock suicide of his former partner Kevin McGee, who was found hanged at his apartment in Edinburgh, Scotland last month.
Devastated Lucas pulled out of his lead role as he continued to grieve, and producers replaced him with actor Con O'Neill - but the show is to end three weeks early after a slump in ticket sales.

The last show will be performed on 15 November.
