Photo Flash: First Look at FRANKIE AND JOHNNY IN THE CLAIRE DE LUNE at Vintage Theatre

Vintage Theatre presents "Frankie and Johnny in Claire de Lune" now through September 4, Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St., Aurora 80010. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Frankie (a waitress) and Johnny (a short-order cook who works in the same restaurant) are discovered in bed. It is their first encounter, after having met several weeks ago on the job, and Frankie is hopeful that Johnny will now put on his clothes and depart, so she can return to her usual routine of watching TV and eating ice cream. But Johnny, a compulsive talker (and romantic), has other ideas. He is convinced that he loves Frankie, a notion that she, at first, considers to be ridiculous. She has had more disappointments than delights in life, and he is the veteran of one broken marriage already. And neither of them is in the bloom of youth. Yet out of their sometimes touching, sometimes hilarious interplay the promise of a relationship beyond a "one-night stand" does begin to emerge and, as the lights dim, the two are back in bed again, but this time side-by-side, holding hands before the glowing television screen. "Frankie and Johnny in Claire de Lune" received Tony Award nominations in 2003 for Best Revival of a Play.

The cast is the real life husband and wife team of Kelly Uhlenhopp (Frankie) and Andrew Uhlenhopp (Johnny).
