The Broadway producers of âTruman Capoteâs âBreakfast at Tiffanyâsââ are scrambling to raise $1 million after an investor pulled out of the $4 million show, according to a spokesman for the production, which began rehearsals on Monday and is scheduled to begin performances on March 4. The cast, led by Emilia Clarke (HBOâs âGame of Thronesâ) as Holly Golightly, have been told that the production would be in jeopardy if the money was not replaced quickly. The playâs spokesman, Rick Miramontez, declined to identify the investor who dropped out, but said some additional money had already been raised and the producers were working hard to find the rest. Another Broadway-bound show this season, âRebecca,â fell apart because of money problems after four of itsinvestors were revealed to be phantoms. The producers of âBreakfast at Tiffanyâsâ - Colin Ingram Productions Limited, Donovan Mannato and Dominic Ianno - are relative newcomers to Broadway.
