“Hillary and Clinton,” a Broadway play that explores the relationship of a political power couple, will close on Sunday, four weeks earlier than scheduled.
The play, by Lucas Hnath, stars Laurie Metcalf and John Lithgow and is directed by Joe Mantello. It opened in April; at the time of its closing it will have played 37 previews and 77 regular performances at the John Golden Theater.
Set a hotel room in New Hampshire in 2008, the play imagines an interaction between Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton — not the real ones, but characters with the same names in an alternate universe — talking about her struggling campaign for president that year.
The play, with Scott Rudin as a lead producer, cost $4.2 million to capitalize; that money has not been recouped. It is the third play that Mr. Rudin has shuttered in rapid succession this spring, following the early closings of a “King Lear” revival and the new play “Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus.”

Yes, they needed a play that was sure to bomb.
Can’t these two loathsome creatures just sink beneath the swamp goo, never to be seen again
I loved the cigar insertion scene
Makes my heart happy to see them so totally repudiated. That woman scared me before bill was even a serious contender. Read a horrifying profile of her in the WSJ that made my skin crawl.
Hahaha. The only possible reason to go to this is to throw rotten vegetables at the players. Criminal clintoon fail...LOL. What losers.
These grifters are so yesterday, even in NY. I hope that the 0bama’ s aren’t far behind.

Nyuk nyuk nyuk. Thanks EdnaMode.
Maybe they could replace it with The FBI Lovebirds. I hear it opened in DC and is doing rather well.
