Suffs, the feminist Broadway musical that counts Hillary Clinton as one of its main producers, is officially a box-office bomb, with the show announcing a closing date after reportedly failing to turn a profit after nearly six months.

The musical — a nearly three-hour celebration of the suffragette movement, featuring a cast comprised entirely of women and gender “non-binary” performers — cost $19 million to produce, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing reviewed by the New York Times. That money has not been recouped, with ticket revenue failing to cover the weekly cost of operations.

She must be drinking early these days.

Really doubt expenses are coming out of her pocket. Doesn’t producer mean she gets paid rather than she invests?

“a nearly three-hour celebration of the suffragette movement”

Just imagine trying to sit through that. Being preached to and lectured for three hours. Torture!

[albie]

8 months?! They decided to take losses for 8 months? Some shows last weeks if the suck

Paging Max Bialystok…

Hillary Clinton will never, ever be president of the United States.

What a glorious time to be alive.

Have I got an investment for you!

Max Bialystock is an aging Broadway producer whose career has veered from great success to the depths of near failure. He now ekes out a hand-to-mouth existence while romancing lascivious, wealthy elderly women in exchange for money for a “next play” that may never be produced.

8 months is a bomb? I guess so. I just checked - Loeb & Loeb suggests a rule of thumb that 52 weeks is needed for a show to start to pay off investors.

The “Original Cast Album” will soon be found next to Hillary’s book on the bottom shelf at Dollar Tree.

Max Bialystock over subscribed Springtime For Hitler, selling well over 100% interest in it, on the assumption that it would flop. He set out to produce the worse box office poison in history, only to inadvertently creating a hit. He over egged the pudding, and it was taken as satire. His investors expected returns.

A real bomb closes on opening night. Springtime for Hillary!

Quant suff! Quant suff!

Suffs muffs.

[Captain Peter Blood]

No to open a Play money must be raised upfront, so if she is a producer she put up money, wonder how much though.

[MV=PY]

It’s any kind of deal they want to call her a producer.

I’ll bet she invested nothing and had opportunity on the upside.

The real people producing the play got to attach her name to it.

I believe they approached Clinton after they pulled it together.
