Jordan Tannahill’s Prince Faggot is transferring to Studio Seaview on West 43rd Street this fall after an acclaimed run at Playwrights Horizons. The show, directed by Pulitzer Prize finalist Shayok Misha Chowdhury, will play a limited engagement from Sept. 11 to Oct. 25.
What begins as a theatrical thought experiment — six queer and trans performers imagining themselves into a world of inherited power and royal expectation — quickly becomes a gloriously profane and surprisingly tender love story. Equal parts delicate and audacious, Prince Faggot takes on identity, inheritance, and all the beautiful, terrifying contradictions that come from living truthfully in a world built to contain you.
The show marks Tannahill’s Off-Broadway debut. All of the original performers will return for the Seaview production, playing themselves as an ensemble of actors. The cast includes Rachel Crowl, Tony Award nominee K. Todd Freeman, David Greenspan, Mihir Kumar, John McCrea, and N’yomi Allure Stewart. Tyrone Mitchell Henderson will play K. Todd Freeman through Sept. 26, when Freeman returns from directing Rajiv Joseph’s Mr. Wolf at Steppenwolf Theatre Company.
The returning creative team includes scenic designer David Zinn, costume designer Montana Levi Blanco, lighting designer Isabella Byrd, sound design and original music by Lee Kinney , wig and hair designer Cookie Jordan, dramaturg Sarah Lunnie, intimacy coordination by UnkleDave’s Fight-House, props by Matt Carlin, aerial effects by Paul Rubin, and dialect coach Deborah Hecht. Casting by Alaine Alldaffer, Lisa Donadio, Taylor Williams, CSA. Jack Serio is Associate Director. Production stage manager is Ryan Gohsman, with production supervision by Hudson Theatrical Associates / Sean Gorski and Seaview / Jonathan Whitton serving as general manager.
Prince Faggot will be a phone-free experience. Upon entering the theatre, all phones will be locked in Yondr pouches. Due to sensitive subject matter, including nudity and sexual content, the show is recommended for ages 18+.
Prince Faggot runs at Studio Seaview on West 43rd Street in New York City from Sept. 11 to Oct. 25. For tickets and more information, visit here.
