About Slam Frank
Get Slam Frank tickets to see this insane, hilarious, satirical musical about the life of Anne Frank as you've never seen it before. Inspired by a viral Tweet that asked, “Did Anne Frank ever acknowledge her white privilege?" this sharp and relentless comedy is a scathing response to contemporary woke culture. Slam Frank the musical plays at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Manhattan.
In Slam Frank off Broadway, a progressive theatre company is looking to dramatize the life of Anne Frank through a intersectional, multiethnic, genderqueer, Afro-Latin hip-hop lens. What could go wrong?

It's a hilarious original show that makes fun of correctness and wokeness while still acknowledging the good parts of those concepts. The performers are all spectacular and the show is original and delightful
Incredible, unique, funny, and high energy musical that's purposefully over the top.
Wild show. Perhaps it’s taking a bigger swing than it really should. But it’s satirizing left wokeism that goes so far it becomes antisemitic. But… is the satire lost on the audience? Are some just buying into the antisemitism itself?
