The upcoming Off-Broadway return engagement of Jordan Tannahill's Prince Faggot has added a surprise new first performance September 10. The production will sell a limited amount of $30 tickets at the Studio Seaview box office the day of that new performance, from noon-2 PM. The play, making an encore run following its world premiere at Playwrights Horizons earlier this year, was previously scheduled to begin September 11.
Again directed by Shayok Misha Chowdhury (Public Obscenities), performances are scheduled through October 26.
The production will also sell $45 rush tickets beginning September 11 in the TodayTix app, for same-day performances.
The ensemble cast features Rachel Crowl (Between Two Knees), K. Todd Freeman (Downstate), David Greenspan (Marie Antoinette), Mihir Kumar (Law and Order: SVU), John McCrea (Cabaret), N’yomi Allure Stewart (A Raisin in the Sun), and Tyrone Mitchell Henderson (The Skin of our Teeth). (Henderson will perform until September 26, when Freeman will return following directing Rajiv Joseph’s Mr. Wolf at Steppenwolf Theatre Company.)
Described in press notes as a "meta-theatrical tragicomedy," the work features a queer and gender expansive ensemble daring to imagine a monarch from their own community.
The production also has scenic design by David Zinn, costume design by Montana Levi Blanco, lighting design by Isabella Byrd, sound design and original music by Lee Kinney, wig and hair design by Cookie Jordan, dramaturgy by Sarah Lunnie, and intimacy coordination by UnkleDave's Fight-House with props by Matt Carlin, aerial effects by Paul Rubin, and dialect coaching by Deborah Hecht. Casting is by Alaine Alldaffer, Lisa Donadio, and Taylor Williams.
Jack Serio is the associate director. The production stage manager is Ryan Gohsman, with production supervision by Hudson Theatrical Associates' Sean Gorski and Seaview/Jonathan Whitton serving as general manager.
Producing are bb² (Jeremy O. Harris and Josh Godfrey), Seaview, LD Entertainment, Playwrights Horizons, and Soho Rep.
