Lindsay Lohan has been starring in David Mamet’s Speed-the-Plow and it’s been something of a disaster. And now, not even Oprah can save her from her dismal ticket sales. From the Daily News:
Lohan’s much-hyped arrival across the pond to star in a production of David Mamet’s “Speed-the-Plow” garnered the show press and drew audiences in the beginning, but now tickets for the play are on deep discount, nearly half off, starting at a measly 15 British pounds, or $24 here.
“Save 50% on tickets to ‘Speed-the-Plow’ starring Lindsay Lohan. Top price seats were £59.50, now just £29.75, saving you 50% when you book by Saturday,” is plastered on the homepage for West End Wilma, London’s equivalent to New York’s discount TKTS.
Sorry, Lohan, but LOLLLLL. Only $24 for a ticket? That’s pretty bad. And you know what? She deserves it. I feel no remorse over saying that. Yeah, she tried to get her shit together, but when you’re consistently late for rehearsals and can’t keep it together on stage, you deserve poor reviews and a drop in sales. I was rooting for her at one point, but now, I’m so over it. I don’t feel badly for her at all. I’m going to give her this:
I gotta say, I’m morbidly curious, and for $24, if the show were in the US, I would totally go see it. Would you?
I blame Mamet. It’s always Mamet’s fault
