Encyclopedia
White's Lies is a play written by Ben Andron.
The play began preview showings off-Broadway
on April 12, 2010 and officially opened on May 6, 2010. Initial reviews were mixed; the New York Times called it a "crass, charmless vehicle" that "plays like an episode of How I Met Your Mother
that would be killed in the writers’ room." while Entertainment Weekly
gave it a C rating and said it was "the other kind of bad play — the one that's so ridiculous that you can't help giggling at the gaping, craterlike holes in the story and the cliché-spouting characters running around Manhattan in incredibly fabulous, incredibly impractical, incredibly expensive shoes."
The show closed on June 13, 2010 after 26 previews and 46 regular performances.
