Georgia May Foote is all smiles despite Breakfast at Tiffany’s ticket sale woes
Actress put on a brave face despite only selling eight tickets for the upper circle of her opening night
GEORGIA May Foote was all smiles at the V By Very Party on Thursday night - despite reports of poor ticket sales for her stage debut.
The former Coronation Street actress is set to take over from Pixie Lott as Holly Golightly in the touring production of Breakfast at Tiffany's.
But The Sun exclusively revealed how the 25-year-old's ticket sales for her stint in the show have been a complete flop – as she has sold just eight tickets in the upper circle for her opening night.
While the Milton Keynes theatre has a capacity of 1,440 people – the theatre will be only half full for her debut as 696 tickets have been left unsold.
Less than half of the circle tickets have been picked up by punters and 66 seats will be left empty in the stalls.
And Georgia’s terrible ticket sales don’t stop there as the former Corrie star’s second night in the same venue is even worse.
A source said: “It’s woeful just how empty the theatre will be for Georgia’s stage debut.
“Pixie sold a record-breaking amount of tickets, so Georgia’s ticket sales in comparison are just embarrassing.
“Bosses are hoping Georgia’s ticket sales will quickly pick up once the reviews are out but the opening night is going to be a bit quiet.”
In comparison, singer Pixie saw a whopping one million people purchase tickets to see her star in the West End version of the production – meaning she even trumped Anna Friel who starred as Holly in 2009.
But despite the disappointing numbers, Georgia smiled broadly as she headed down the red carpet at the event held to celebrate London Fashion Week.
Wearing a rainbow coloured striped dress, the beauty kept her hair and makeup simple as she attended the event alone.
Georgia has recently been dealt a series of bad news – after she split from her Strictly love Giovanni Pernici.
And Georgia’s worst fears were confirmed when Gio and Laura were paired together during the launch episode – and have since been spotted cosying up after training.
Poor Georgia certainly deserves some good luck.
