“It's rare that a group of artists of this caliber can be in the same place at the same time to collaborate, and so when the opportunity came to bring Freddie to life, I seized it,” says Blackstone in a press statement. “Not a word is spoken by the performers but communication is what makes the show so magical. We have made something completely original to benefit a very important cause, and I am so thrilled to premiere it at one of the most beautiful theatre spaces in New York City.”

Freddie Falls in Love will be performed at 7 PM and 9:30 PM June 6 and 13 at The Irene Diamond Stage at The Pershing Square Signature Center. Tickets are $35 and can be purchased via ticketcentral.com, by calling (212) 279-4200, or in person at 416 W. 42nd Street (noon-8 PM daily).
