Breakfast at Tiffany's - 2013 Broadway History , Info & More

Based on Truman Capote's most beloved masterwork, Breakfast at Tiffany's is set in New York City in 1943. 'Fred' (Cory Michael Smith) a young writer from Louisiana, meets Holly Golightly (Emilia Clarke), 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. Directed by Sean Mathias, the production also stars six-time Emmy Award nominee George Wendt.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Breakfast at Tiffany's

‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ Hasn’t Been Rethought in Theatrical Terms
6 / 10

Playwright Richard Greenberg has adapted Truman Capote's novella 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' for the theater with remarkable fidelity-and that's the problem. Capote's wispy memory tale, told principally in carefully carved prose, may be hypnotic on the page, but it's dull onstage, with too much narration and not enough drama. Greenberg and director Sean Mathias haven't rethought it in theatrical terms. Add to that a game but awfully artificial performance by Emilia Clarke as Holly Golightly, and it's enough to give you a case of the mean reds.

Breakfast at Tiffany's
4 / 10

After a long gestation and a difficult labor, including a last-minute funding scare, Breakfast at Tiffany's arrives on Broadway meager and stillborn. Here is a story that-in both Truman Capote's 1958 novella and Blake Edwards's 1961 film-relies on the restive charm of its central figure: Holly Golightly, a beauteous young courtesan in 1940s New York, who conceals her hillbilly roots beneath a blithe, insouciant manner and a cultivated voice flecked with faux French. 'She isn't a phony because she's a real phony,' as someone explains to the writer who lives next door to her. 'She believes all this crap she believes.' In the Broadway version, she never seems to believe it for a moment; Breakfast at Tiffany's is phony through and through.

BWW Blog: Kate Cullen Roberts of BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S - CAT-ctors!
by Guest Blogger: Kate Cullen Roberts - April 12, 2013


If you haven't heard, the actor playing 'Cat' in our show is an actual feline. That's not a baby in a cat suit. It's the real deal. Thus the interest from the press. ('It's a real CAT! How crazy is that?!?!')

It has now been almost 3 weeks since Breakfast at Tiffany's opened on Broadway on March 20th. It's hard to believe we started rehearsal on January 28th! Time really does fly when you're having fun.

Review - Breakfast At Tiffany's
by Michael Dale - March 30, 2013


Even if Richard Greenberg's stage adaptation of Truman Capote's Breakfast At Tiffany's doesn't completely seduce Broadway, I have a hunch that shortly after the amateur and regional rights eventually become available, this will be one of the most produced plays in the country.  Why?  Because sandwiched between the years where they envision themselves as Cinderella and those where they envision themselves as Blanche DuBois, I'd estimate a large chunk of America's artistically inclined female population loves envisioning themselves as Holly Golightly and they are going to want to do this play.
