The Broadway production of a play about Bill and Hillary Clinton talking frankly about her 2008 presidential campaign will close a month ahead of schedule, due to low ticket sales.
Starring Laurie Metcalf and John Lithgow, Hillary and Clinton was set to close on July 21 but will instead close June 23. It cost $4.2 million to produce.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, "Hillary and Clinton is not based on the real Clintons, but instead characters with the same name in an alternate universe," and its early closing is linked to "underwhelming ticket sales." Set in a New Hampshire hotel room during that state's 2008 Democratic primary, it touches on marriage and sexism in politics.

Good actors, bad subject matter.
Agree; the Clintons are finally nobody’s.
Clintons lack relevancy!
If they lack relevancy then why does Trump keep bringing them up.
She lost ,...he won, get over it
Northwest Woodsman: It surprises me that anyone would pay any amount at all to see a production about the Clintons. The one exception being a production that reveals all of the corruption and criminal activities of the Clintons, culminating in their arrest, conviction and receiving their first pair of orange jumpsuits.
