The Broadway producers of “Truman Capote’s ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’†have sorted out money problems that had the potential to derail the show’s planned opening in March, a spokesman for the show said on Thursday. One of the “Tiffany’s†investors, who had been responsible for about $1 million of the show’s $4 million budget, had told his partners that he was bowing out, and the show’s cast and creative team was notified on Sunday that the producers needed to replace the money quickly or the play might be canceled.
This led agents for some of the “Tiffany’s†actors to start calling producers of other shows to say their actors might be available for work this spring. But the show’s spokesman, Rick Miramontez, said Thursday that the investor was now sticking with the play, but providing less money, and that the other producers and investors wee making up the difference. Mr. Miramontez declined to identify the investor. Based on Capote’s 1958 novella, this “Tiffany’s†adaptation is by the Tony Award winner Richard Greenberg (“Take Me Outâ€) and stars the British actress Emilia Clarke (HBO’s “Game of Thronesâ€) as New York society girl Holly Golightly. The lead producers are Colin Ingram Productions Limited, Donovan Mannato and Dominic Ianno.
