Breakfast at Tiffany's (musical) Breakfast at Tiffany's (musical) Breakfast at Tiffany's is a musical with music and lyrics by Bob Merrill and a book originally by Abe Burrows but rewritten during pre-Broadway tryouts by Edward Albee. It is based on the 1958 Truman Capote novella and 1961 film of the same name about a free spirit named Holly Golightly. After tryouts in Philadelphia and Boston, and four previews on Broadway in 1966, the show was closed by producer David Merrick without ever opening officially. Its only revival was a staged concert in 2013 at a 200-seat venue in London. A studio recording was released

The novelist Merle Miller issued a complaint about the picture at a publishing forum, and the photo of "Truman Remote" was satirized in the third issue of "Mad" (making Capote one of the first four celebrities to be spoofed in "Mad"). The humorist Max Shulman struck an identical pose for the dustjacket photo on his collection, "Max Shulman's Large Economy Size" (1948). The Broadway stage revue "New Faces" (and the subsequent film version) featured a skit in which Ronny Graham parodied Capote, deliberately copying his pose in the Halma photo.
