Even if Richard Greenberg's stage adaptation of Truman Capote's Breakfast At Tiffany's doesn't completely seduce Broadway, I have a hunch that shortly after the amateur and regional rights eventually become available, this will be one of the most produced plays in the country.  Why?  Because sandwiched between the years where they envision themselves as Cinderella and those where they envision themselves as Blanche DuBois, I'd estimate a large chunk of America's artistically inclined female population loves envisioning themselves as Holly Golightly and they are going to want to do this play.

What would the iconic Holly Golightly be however, without her trusty, feline friend? Check out photos of the BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S cats backsatge below. Plus, check out a hoard of Holly Golightlys outside of the theatre!
