The world premiere of Tony Award winning playwright Richard Greenberg's new play, Breakfast at Tiffany's, will play its final performance today, April 21, 2013 at 3 p.m. after playing 17 preview and 38 regular performances at Broadway's Cort Theatre (138 W 48th Street). Below, BroadwayWorld brings you photos and videos from the show's run!

Breakfast at Tiffany's officially opened on Wednesday, March 20, 2013. Directed by Sean Mathias, this stage adaption of Truman Capote's classic novella stars Emilia Clarke (HBO's "Game of Thrones") in the iconic role of 'Holly Golightly,' Cory Michael Smith as 'Fred,' and George Wendt as 'Joe Bell.'

The cast of Breakfast at Tiffany's also includes 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.

The creative team for Breakfast at Tiffany's includes Tony Award-winner Derek McLane (Scenic Design), three-time Academy Award-winner and current nominee Colleen Atwood (Costume Design), Tony Award-winner Peter Kaczorowski (Lighting Design), Wendall K. Harrington (Projection Design) and Rob Milburn and Michael Bodeen (Original Music and Sound Design).

Based on Truman Capote's most beloved masterwork, Breakfast at Tiffany's is set in New York City in 1943. 'Fred', a young writer from Louisiana, meets 'Holly Golightly' (Clarke), a charming, vivacious and utterly elusive good-time girl. Everyone falls in love with Holly - including Fred (Smith). 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.

Breakfast at Tiffany's began previews on Monday, March 4, 2013. Watch video highlights and check out production photos below!
