For months it has been considered to be one of the hottest tickets in town. And when Lindsay Lohan made her stage debut in London’s West End on Tuesday night she didn’t disappoint – but for all the wrong reasons. The former child star reportedly had the audience in giggles as she had to be fed lines during the opening night of Speed-the-Plow, and RadarOnline.com has all the details of what one critic called a “total car crash.”

 According to TheDailyBeast.com the first night of previews went shockingly badly for the 28-year-old former child star, who has been a fixture of the London nightlife circuit in recent weeks. 
 
 Embarrassingly LiLo even had to be fed her lines on several occasions.

 A reporter for website wrote, “After her first audible prompt, which came shortly after the interval, the audience sat patiently. The second led to titters in the stalls. Unfortunately for Lohan, the next line delivered by Richard Schiff (Toby from The West Wing) was: ‘You have done a fantastic job!’ 
 
 “The laughter grew louder,” the critic wrote. 
 
 Poor Lohan reportedly sat staring at a book – one of the on-stage props – and apparently received a “third prompt from the wings.”

 This time she smirked. 
 
 Lohan’s lines supposedly prompted laughter even when they weren’t meant to be funny and The Daily Beast quotes one audience member as saying: “Oh my God, it’s so embarrassing.” 
 
 It wasn’t all Lohan’s fault though. During the second half of the performance an audience member in the box closet to the stage split champagne over someone in the front row.

 While some mistakes are expected in the preview stage of a new production London’s theatergoers can be unforgiving and one took to Twitter to express her disgust. 
 
 She tweeted after the show: “So Lindsay Lohan had her lines written down in a book & also got fed a line. Total car crash.” 
 
 However, Lohan still has time to perfect her performance.

 London’s theater critics don’t get a chance to officially review the production until press night on October 2. 
 
 In an interview published in the London edition of Time Out earlier this week, Lohan did admit to being nervous and said she has never really appeared in a play before. 
 
 Asked if this was her first time on stage, the actress said, “Erm, I did one: I did Cinderella. I was one of the stepsisters. But I was really young, so no. This is all completely new to me. I know I’m gonna be nervous but everyone’s been so nice.” ||||| Speed-the-Boos 
 
 The Mean Girls actress-turned-tabloid fodder made her stage debut in David Mamet’s Speed-the-Plow in London. It was decidedly not fetch. 
 
 LONDON — Lindsay Lohan only has one major speech in the David Mamet play that marks her West End debut. Unfortunately, she couldn’t remember how it went. 
 
 On the first night of previews, a work-in-progress feel is to be expected. But halfway through the second act of Speed-the-Plow, the audience was openly laughing at Lohan’s struggle to grasp Mamet’s sharp, trademark dialogue. 
 
 After her first audible prompt, which came shortly after the interval, the audience sat patiently. The second led to titters in the stalls. Unfortunately for Lohan, the next line delivered by Richard Schiff (Toby from The West Wing) was: “You have done a fantastic job!” 
 
 The laughter grew louder. 
 
 Although she was sitting staring at a book, which may or may not have contained clues, a third prompt from the wings had Lohan smirking, and she raised her hand to her heart apologetically. By now, even her serious lines were being greeted with laughter. “I know what it is to be bad, I’ve been bad,” her character Karen emotes. More laughter. 
 
 “Oh my god, it’s so embarrassing,” said a woman in the crowd during an unusually long set change. In truth, Lohan remained charming throughout. 
 
 The chaotic second half had not started promisingly when the occupants of the box closest to the stage tipped a glass of champagne over someone in the front row. It ended with a minor wardrobe malfunction as Lohan’s blouse puffed out—untucked—below what was supposed to be a smart new outfit. 
 
 This theatrical debut from Lohan in London, where she claims to have moved for good, marks a modest return to the spotlight after years of court appearances and tales of unrest on set. She has been a regular fixture in the British gossip pages despite a hectic schedule of rehearsals. 
 
 Contrary to some of the Twitter reviews, this was no car crash. If Lohan can nail her lines in the coming days, this somewhat pedestrian interpretation of the Mamet classic certainly could find its stride. The action focuses on the decision-making process of a movie studio hotshot. How do you decide which films to make? How are Hollywood careers forged and broken? 
 
 All of this, of course, has personal echoes for Lohan, a child star who burned out in the public eye. Perhaps her naive but ambitious character, desperate to make it in Los Angeles, has too many resonant lines for the audience to fully forget that this is Lindsay Lohan on stage. 
 
 When she says, breathily, “I’m serious, I’d do anything,” it’s going to be difficult for any audience to keep a straight face. 
 
 For all of Lohan’s discomfort, Schiff revels in Mamet’s edgy, witty lines. His movie producer character, Bobby Gould, is restrained but still crackling with energy. The West Wing alum is by far the best thing in the play. Though a consummate professional and far more gifted actor, Schiff doesn't share the multimillion-dollar Hollywood prospects of Lohan, whether she manages to rebuild her topsy-turvy career or not. ||||| Mamet--yes. Madonna--no. That was the critical reaction to "Speed-the-Plow" this week on Broadway. 
 
 David Mamet's new play concerns a couple of wanna-be Hollywood producers and an office temp, played by Madonna, in her acting debut. 
 
 Frank Rich of the New York Times praised her "intelligent, scrupulously disciplined comic acting." The other reviewers dismissed her performance, some rather cruelly. "Being vacant on the stage requires more effort than it does in real life," observed Howard Kissell in the Daily News. 
 
 Mamet's play was generally seen as a worthy successor to his study of the real-estate dodge, "Glengarry Glen Ross." 
 
 "Absolutely on target, demolishing the egomaniacs who decide what reaches the silver screen," wrote the AP's Michael Kuchwara. 
 
 Joe Mantegna and Ron Silver play the egomaniacs. Everybody loved them. 
 
 "Chess" has been a bad-luck musical ever since Michael Bennett had to give up directing it in London. Trevor Nunn took over, and it has finally come to Broadway, to poor notices. David Richards' review in the Washington Post was typical: "'A grim ham-fisted endeavor that puts a serious dent in the popular belief that London is the crucible for all that is worthwhile in the musical theater."
– Spilled champagne and wardrobe malfunctions may sound like a typical Lindsay Lohan night on the town, but this time it happened during her stage debut in London. During her first-night performance in David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow on Tuesday, Lohan—who's "been a fixture of the London nightlife circuit in recent weeks," Radar Online notes—had to be fed lines, kick-starting a flurry of mean girl (and guy) tweets and reviews. "Oh my God, it's so embarrassing," one woman in the crowd piped up during the performance, according to the Daily Beast. The audience seemed to forgive her "first audible prompt," as the Beast calls it, but when she needed a second line read to her, the audience started giggling. It didn't help that co-star Richard Schiff's very next line was "You have done a fantastic job!," followed by a third LiLo snafu and her line: "I know what it is to be bad, I've been bad." As the Beast points out, someone in a box seat did drop champagne on a front-row occupant, and Lohan's blouse billowed out when it wasn't supposed to, which may have aggravated her nervousness in acting on the stage for the first time. Either way, Madonna has to be breathing a sigh of relief. (Oprah wasn't too keen on Lohan's OWN reality show, either.)
