Slam Frank should come with a warning. Perhaps: “THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM CONTAINS MESSAGES AND DUE TO ITS CONTENT SHOULD NOT BE VIEWED BY ANYONE." Also pee first. There’s no intermission. Yes it really is a musical. Schedule at least an hour for drinks after. #theater #theatre #offbroadway #slamfrank
