The curtain will be falling early on a Broadway play featuring Bill and Hillary Clinton as the lead characters because of poor ticket sales.
The play, Hillary and Clinton, which stars Laurie Metcalf as Hillary Clinton and John Lithgow as Bill Clinton, is set to close on June 23 nearly a month before its previously planned close on July 21, according to Hollywood Reporter.
A production by Scott Rudin, it is set in an alternate universe and is based on imagined interactions between Bill and Hillary Clinton in a New Hampshire hotel during the latters unsuccessful 2008 presidential campaign.
The play cost $4.2 million to produce, and by the time it ends, will have had 37 preview and 77 regular performances. Despite the poor performance at the box office, the production earned a Tony nomination for Metcalfs portrayal of the former secretary of state.

Completely predictable. Liberals are always giving themselves awards, even for abject failure.

“The play cost $4.2 million to produce, and by the time it ends, will have had 37 preview and 77 regular performances.”
A cost of about $36,842 per show.
Very doubtful they made that up in ticket sales.

Hopefully the Clintons had their filthy hands in whatever profits were expected.

why did the producers ever think anyone would want to see such a show, in the first place?
while Billy had a certain appeal to some, HilLIARy had none whatsoever

I’ve always wondered how someone who asserts she can’t remember anything at all can write multiple memoirs.
