Security Stepped Up at the Cort Theatre Following BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S Photo Frenzy

Tony Award winning playwright Richard Greenberg's new play, Breakfast at Tiffany's began previews at the Cort Theatre (138 W 48th Street) this Monday, and already security has been stepped up due to overzealous audience members.

Leading lady Emilia Clarke, star of the popular series "Game of Thrones" on HBO, has drawn large crowds to the production.

"On Monday, it was a packed house including a huge contingent of fans of 'Game of Thrones,'" a source tells the New York Post. "What titillated the audience was a full nude scene between Emilia and Cory Michael Smith."

Though photography of any kind is forbidden during the performance, fans began snapping pictures; the incident was reportedly so widespread throughout the theatre that additional security measures are being put into place.

Directed by Sean Mathias, the show will open on Wednesday, March 20. This stage adaption of Truman Capote's classic novella also stars Smith as 'Fred,' and George Wendt as 'Joe Bell.'

Rounding out the cast are Suzanne Bertish, Danny Binstock, Pedro Carmo, Elisabeth Anthony Gray, Murphy Guyer, Eddie Korbich, Paolo Montalban, Kate Cullen Roberts, John Rothman, Tony Torn, Lee Wilkof and James Yaegashi.

Based on Truman Capote's most beloved masterwork, Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's is set in New York City in 1943. 'Fred', a young writer from Louisiana, meets Holly Golightly, a charming, vivacious and utterly elusive good-time girl. Everyone falls in love with Holly - including Fred. But Fred is poor, and Holly's other suitors include a playboy millionaire and the future president of Brazil. As war rages on in Europe, Holly begins to fall in love with Fred - just as her past catches up with her.
