How the costume contests work
Wear your costume to Thursday's or Saturday's show and stick around afterward to compete. The winner of each contest gets two free tickets to Slam Frank.
Costume rules
This is still a theater, so if your hat, fascinator, wig, or hairdo could block someone's view, it has to remain off during the performance. The production reserves the right to remove anyone whose costume is harshing the vibes (no blackface, no armbands, etc.)
About Slam Frank
Andrew Fox and Joel Sinensky’s SLAM FRANK, choreographed by Esosa Oviasu, music directed by Alex Harrington, and directed by Sam LaFrage plays Wednesday - Monday at 7 pm; Saturdays and Sundays at 2:00 pm. Tickets are $54–$140 at SlamFrankMusical.com. $40 Rush tickets are available two hours prior to performances. Orpheum Theatre (126 2nd Avenue, NYC).
SLAM FRANK imagines what happens when a progressive theater company transforms Anne Frank’s tragic true story into an intersectional, multi-ethnic, genderqueer, decolonized, anti-capitalist, hyper-empowering Afro-Latin hip-hop musical. The result is one of the most talked-about productions in recent memory, a satirical reckoning about identity, tribalism, and art that leaves audiences reeling.
