STACEY Dooley has seemingly hit back after it was revealed that her West End play had been forced to slash its ticket prices.

However, Stacey has appeared to silence any suggestion that her stint in the play has been under-performing.
She took to Instagram to repost a fan snapshot of the play's promo poster outside of the Gielgud Theatre in London.
Stacey went on to add her own caption which read: "A sold out Saturday night."
The documentary-maker appeared to be sending a clear message that she has still been able to pack out theatres like her successful counterparts Cheryl and Lily Allen.

It follows revelations that a popular seat-filling site has dashed prices by more than 50% this summer in a bid to draw even more fans in.
The play currently stars TV personality Stacey in the starring role as Jenny - a role which has become famed for having an eclectic mix of stars taking it on, many with little-to-no acting experience.
Stacey is appearing in the run alongside The Inbetweeners funnyman James Buckley.
Whilst tickets to see 2.22 were once listed at a whopping £136, nearly all seats in the venue are now down to 50% less with many retailing for just £65.

Moreover, seats at the very top of the venue can currently be acquired for as cheap as £15.
These new prices are understood to be available for every run, bar Saturday matinee performances, from now until the very beginning of August.
Cheryl set for huge acting future says 22:2 A Ghost Story creator Danny Robins as he hits back at 'stunt casting' star
The show's creator Danny Robins recently opened up to The Sun about the play and it's central character of Jenny and the reasoning behind the decisions to cast a wide variety of stars.
Singers Lily Allen and Cheryl have both played Jenny as well as TV host Laura Whitmore.
Danny said: "I was introduced to Cheryl and I just remember thinking she'd be great in the play and then we were like 'Cheryl, do you want to come and watch the play and see if you like it?'
"Then she ended up doing it, which was amazing and brilliant and a lot of that's been quite fortuitous."
