After playing an extended run<\/a> at Asylum NYC, the new musical Slam Frank, which reimagines Anne Frank\u2019s story through an intersectional, multiethnic, genderqueer, Afro-Latin hip-hop lens, will open Off-Broadway at the Orpheum Theatre on October 4, 2026. \u200b<\/p>\n

The show will once again be directed by Sam LaFrage<\/a>. Andrew Fox<\/a> conceived, composed, and co-wrote the show with Joel Sinensky<\/a>, drawing from real statements and online discourse. Previews begin on September 17, exactly one year after the start of the developmental run, and continue through November 30, 2026.<\/p>\n

\u00a0In celebration of the triumphant return, Slam Frank will be hosting Off-Broadway\u2019s First Annual Official Belated Pro-Diversity, Pre-Julyteenth, Cismasc-Affirming, Anti-Capitalist, LatinX Anne Frank Fiesta de Quincea\u00f1era Box Office Discount Ticket Release Event (2026) at the Orpheum Box Office on June 19th at 6 pm. \u200b There will be special guests and performances, plus a $36 ticket price for the $50 and $70 tickets, with the remaining seats at a $36 discount. \u200b This special pricing will only be available in person at the theater on June 19th.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Inspired by a viral Twitter thread that asked, \u201cDid Anne Frank ever acknowledge her white privilege?\u201d, Slam Frank imagines what happens when a progressive community theater company decides to transform Anne Frank\u2019s story into an intersectional, multiethnic, genderqueer, Afro-Latin hip-hop musical. The result is one of the most talked-about, argued-about, and laughed-about productions of the season\u2014part satire, part reckoning, all conversation-starter.<\/p>\n
