A Broadway depiction of former President Bill Clinton and former First Lady Hillary Clintonwill be ending its run early due to underwhelming ticket sales.
The production of "Hillary and Clinton" was scheduled to close July 21, but producer Scott Rudin announced Monday that its final performance will be held Sunday. June 23. The play cost $4.2 million to produce and accumulated only $4.7 million at the box office, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The show, titled "Hillary and Clinton," takes place in March 2008 and offers a fictional behind-the-scenes look at the former secretary of state's first presidential campaign as then-Senator Barack Obama began gaining momentum. The play stars Tony winners Laurie Metcalf as the Democratic candidate and John Lithgow as former President Bill Clinton.

Big names, dumb play.
Imagine that.....lol
Metcalf could do barking Hillary pretty good, I would imagine.
It must have cut too close to home for most democrats.
I’d eat a cheeseburger with Trump, GWB or Bill.
Hillary? Hell No!
The bill says *Primarily a comedy
BTW, did anyone see Michelle Obama on the James Cordon show tonight?
She Is going to run, probably in 2024, but she is going to run.
Hillary is done.
Run as “XX Michelle Obama” or as true identity “XY Michael Robinson?”
“Metcalf could do barking Hillary pretty good, I would imagine.”
Her performances are uneven. She was great as Mary Cooper (Sheldon’s mom) but I didn’t care at all for her on Roseanne.

They must produce a show so revolting that it closes early.
Sorta like “Springtime for Hitler”.
There was this off-, off-Broadway play written by a George Costanza.
He mimed cooking, the actor. Pepe was his name.
Scarsdale Surprise would have been better. With Kramer and Raquel Welch.
Maybe serve free beer. I MIGHT go then.
Who played Monica Lewinsky? Lena Dunham?
“Hillary is done.”
As soon as they get a better handle on Hillary’s email scandal, Hillary will lose her security clearance meaning she cannot run again.
You dont need a security clearance to run for or to be president. You dont need a background check to run for or to be president.
Bill Clinton overhauled the system so that the president gets to decide who gets security clearances for obvious reasons.
Obama certainly benefitted from that. How many of his cronies would have passed the lowest level background checks?
That was my first thought as well...
Yeah. Reading the book “Unlimited Access” by Gary Aldrich was a real eye-opener.
