Overview
- Producers announced that Slam Frank will move to the Orpheum off‑Broadway with previews beginning in mid‑September and a scheduled run from early October through the end of November.
- Box office for the transfer opened today and the production is promoting the run through a deliberately provocative Instagram presence that the team says helped sell out its 2025 developmental run.
- A promotional event at the theatre on Juneteenth will offer select seats for $36 and $36 discounts on other tickets, a price the producers link to Hebrew numerology related to the number 18.
- The show reimagines Anne Frank’s story through an intersectional, multiethnic, genderqueer, Afro‑Latin hip‑hop lens and its creators say the piece is intended as a satire of identity‑politics excesses.
- Slam Frank drew strong attention and praise during its 2025 developmental run from critics and theater figures, and the planned transfer is likely to extend public debate because the diary of Anne Frank is a sensitive touchstone of Holocaust memory.
