Jane Fonda's Broadway Show Is Hurting

Filed under: Broadway Babies > Super Seniors

Oscar winner Jane Fonda has returned to Broadway after 46 years to perform in 33 Variations.

But unfortunately for the 71-year-old, the show isn't doing so well.

In fact, it's pretty much bombing!

According to the box office receipts, the show has only managed to get 51% capacity during the first week of previews.

Wonder why theatergoers are staying away????

The show sucks so much because nothing can be better than Spring Awakening which was the show that used to be in the theatre that her show is in!!!! SPRING AWAKENING SHOULD STILL BE ON BROADWAY!!!!!

because tkt prices are too high on broadway, it is too damn cold and the people that normally go to broadway shows jumped out of their windows months ago.

Maybe because Jane Fonda is a commie bitch. My hubby has a sticker on the back of his car that says, "Screw Jane Fonda".

Re: jlbakada – … um no… shes Seventy freaking one you twat… to have a full compliment looking that good is great… but you probably live in LA and have fake tan, muscle implants and boobs too… i'm just sayin'…

Her show is hurting because Jane is a traitor to her country and most people know it. She should have been tried as a traitor back in the 60's. I'm happy to see people are ignoring her!! Good for them.

Quite possibly because Jane Fonda is an Anti-American communist coddling Hollywood HAG? I am SO happy it's bombing with her fucking ego I bet she is sweet as pie to be around - her poor staff.

Re: Shoehorn – First of all I live in New York you dickhead. Second, when used in that context, its "complement." Get a brain implant or learn to spell. Or get some boob implants or a few facelifts like Hanoi did.

Ha! Fuck Hanoi Jane!

Maybe because people finally realize what a traitor to the United States she was during the Vietnam War! It's one thing to protest the war, but quite another to go there and contribute to the incarceration of American prisoners of war.

Uhh…because in this crappy economy, people are going to be buying groceries and paying rent rather than seeing broadway shows.

I didn't even know about it, no promotion?
COCACOLA says – reply to this

Maybe because in the Vietnam War she side with the enemy? And I mean this, literary. She actually ride with the communists in a tank, the same tank that was killing american soldiers. So, yes, I can understand why she is a failure in Broadway. Nobody want to see this traitor.

And if you have any doubts, please Geogle this bitch and you will find facts that will make vomit.

Re: jlbakada – Recieving a lesson on spelling from someone whose country managed to bastardise the English language as their ancestors could only just about grasp phonetic spelling really is a good put down. I left out the grammer in that so you could have fun and add it in later. But away from all that. Your initial comment was still arsey…

Broadway plays tend to attract older audiences. Unfortunately for Jane, older audiences remember her anti-American statements and actions in the past. This should have been expected by the producers.

Probably not sensational enugh. Usually people want the dirt if it is from a controversial figure.
