Neil Patrick Harris and Jane Krakowski have joined the high-profile cast of Robert O’Hara’s upcoming Off Broadway play Shit.Meet.Fan., joining a line-up that includes the previously announced Garret Dillahunt, Billy Magnussen, Debra Messing, Genevieve Hannelius, Tramell Tillman and Constance Wu.
The MCC Theater production will begin previews on Thursday October 10, with an opening night set for Monday October 28. The engagement at MCC Theater’s Newman Mills Theater runs through Sunday November 17.
Based on the 2016 film Perfect Strangers by Paolo Genovese, Shit. Meet. Fan. unfolds in real time as a group of long-time friends gather to play a game on the night of an eclipse, with each person required to share the contents of their phones – out loud – with the rest of the group. As the synopsis reads, “With the cocktails flowing among grownups who refuse to grow up, outrageous secrets and skeletons begin to emerge… Shit. Meet. Fan. Are they ready for the ensuing chaos? Are you?”
O’Hara’s previous plays include the comedy Bootycandy and MCC’s BLKS. He directed Jeremy O. Harris’ hit Off Broadway and Broadway satire Slave Play.
Both Harris and Krakowski have appeared in numerous New York stage productions. Harris’ recent credits include Into The Woods, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and Hedwig And The Angry Inch, while Krakowski won a Tony Award for her portrayal of Carla in 2003’s Nine. Her other Broadway credits include Grand Hotel, Company, Once Upon a Mattress, Tartuff and Starlight Express.
