Was Lindsay Lohan still a cracked-out mess for her play’s Press Night?

Here are some photos of Lindsay Lohan at the official opening/press night of Speed-the-Plow in London. I’m also including a couple of photos of Lindsay on Wednesday night, the night before press night. Apparently, Lindsay partied until at least 3 am out in the clubs two nights ago. She didn’t want to get a good night’s sleep to be prepared for the big opening. Why would she? She’s Lindsay Lohan! Everything she does is brilliant and everyone always believes her crack lies.

So, how was the performance for Press Night? The Mirror noted that Lindsay “fluffed” her lines a few times. The Guardian was more generous, saying that even with the forgotten lines, Lindsay gave a “perfectly creditable performance” and she had “a quality of breathless naivety that is far and away the most interesting thing in Lindsay Posner’s otherwise tame, under-powered revival.” If Lindsay is the best part of a production, you know that production sucks. The NYDN went after her harder, saying that it was obvious that Lindsay “was still being fed lines from a helper backstage” and that she clearly “hadn’t memorized her script for last week’s preview performances either.” Apparently, there were a lot of empty seats too.

And finally, would you like to see Lindsay’s former roommate Raven-Symone throw shade on the Cracken? “What I’ve learned is it’s unnecessary to go to the most popular restaurant in the world when you have a scandal on your head and then get mad that someone’s going to take a picture of you. That’s your fault, boo boo. Stay in the house.” AMAZING.

    Do we even need to ask at this point?

  2. lassie says:

    How matronly. She looks like she’s about to get on the Love Boat and perform on the Lido Deck, a la Charo.

    Come on! We all know that Lohan is the MadLibs of rhetorical questions….

    Am I the only one who expects to see Lindsay starring in a p0rn parody: “Plowed – for Speed” in 10 years?

    Someone in that club is wishing they hadn’t checked their fur coat. She looks a bit like Leann Rimes in the top photo.
    And the two phones in her hand!? Just started reading Visit from the Goon Squad now I’ll be picturing Lohan as Sasha.

    She’s so done & gone. Still thinks she’s HOT crap though.

  7. bettyrose says:

    At least she’s pairing a fur coat with an orange leather purse to prove that fashion can be both cruel and ugly all at once.

  8. swack says:

    The fact that she is still being fed lines at this point is ridiculous. Good luck finding another play to be in.

    Who cares about The Escort protagonist of Speed, The Plowed?!? RAVEN SYMONE’S HAIR IS ALL THIS THREA SHOULD BE ABOUT!!

    Well, it could have been worse…

      You know, all of you are going to be so ashamed when Lindsay gets the Olivier next year. Or at least a crackpipe from Things Remembered with “Olivier” engraved on it.

    Now that she has redeemed herself a few degrees, now that she has a few toes in the door of a genuine “Comeback”…. cue her totally f*cking it up as per usual. My guess is she will start getting “sick” and missing shows, AND/OR punching some random chick in the audience – and will eventually, inevitably, be fired after alot of stupid, pointless, very public drama. When she puts in honest effort towards something, it never lasts long. Prove me wrong, Linds…. But she won’t. Count on it.

    That fur coat in the bottom picture looks like something my vacuum coughed up. Actually, so does her face. Hmmmm.

  13. Green_Eyes says:

    One thing I always take away from LL photos besides the obvious crack references.. How cheap she makes designer clothing & accessories look..

  14. Jordi says:

    She forgot her lines. Good thing she found them safe and sound, still chopped up on her mirror in her dressing room after the show. PHEW!

  15. taxi says:

    She needs to learn new moves – blowing random kisses with her trout mouth isn’t charming anymore, if it ever was.

    I love this site by the way and have never commented before. I live in London and just wanted to say that the bbc arts show on the radio tonight said that Lohan was actually quite good. I think the point was that the play lends to hollywood names like and the Mamet script is perfect etc, but actually the consensus was that Lohan had proper stage presence in a way that other big names don’t. The last comment way to the effect that – if you buy tickets thinking Lohan will be shit, you’ll be disappointed and surprised.

    Read into that what you will, but just updating. IMO her issues relate to her narcissistic parents and she has the time to get over that.

    The light hitting her dress in the top photo makes it look like there’s a saggy, sequin areola on her chest
