Off-Broadway News Following Sold-Out Shows, Shit. Meet. Fan Extends at Off-Broadway's MCC Theater

The show stars Neil Patrick Harris, Jane Krakowski, Debra Messing, and Constance Wu.

Company of Shit. Meet. Fan. Imani Champion

Robert O'Hara's Shit. Meet. Fan. hasn't yet begun performances Off-Broadway but already, it's one of the hottest tickets in New York City. That's because the entire run at MCC Theater sold out even before performances even begun, likely because of the A-list cast—which includes Neil Patrick Harris, Jane Krakowski, Debra Messing, and Constance Wu. In response, MCC Theater has announced a two-week extension for the play. It will now begin previews October 10, open October 28, and run until December 1.

Shit. Meet. Fanis based on the 2016 Italian film Perfetti Sconosciuti (translated to "Perfect Strangers"), which is about a dinner party that goes off the rails when one attendee says that no relationship can survive if a person has access to their lover's phone. The film is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most remade film of all time, with 24 remakes in different languages (an English-language remake fell through because the English film rights are owned by Harvey Weinstein).

The play is written and directed by O'Hara (Slave Play). The cast also includes Garret Dillahunt, Genevieve Hannelius, Tramell Tillman, and Tony nominee Billy Magnussen.

Shit. Meet. Fan. will also feature scenic design by Tony winner Clint Ramos, costume design by Tony nominee Sarafina Bush, lighting design by Alex Jainchill, and sound design by Tony nominee Palmer Hefferan. Imani Champion is the production stage manager. Casting is by The Telsey Office.

The limited engagement is produced in association with Eva Price, Simon Horsman, and Gianni Nunnari.
