A new musical in New York City has ignited fierce backlash for reimagining Holocaust victim Anne Frank as a pansexual Latina hiding from the Nazi occupation with her neurodiverse family and a non-binary love interest.

The production, titled Slam Frank, is a satirical play that exaggerates current cultural trends around inclusivity and identity politics, applying them to one of history's most tragic stories to critique how performative 'wokeness' can distort storytelling.

The show began as a viral Instagram parody by Jewish composer Andrew Fox, who joked about creating a production to make 'Latinx girlies feel included in the Holocaust.'

The video spawned a full production built around a play-within-a-play conceit: a fictional theatre troupe trying to 'decolonize' Anne Frank's story.

From there, the humor spirals into absurdity as characters discover new marginalized identities in musical numbers, swap yellow stars for pronoun pins, and even commune with ancestors lost at border crossings.

The production’s musical numbers, which several outlets have compared to a Hamilton-style spoof, feature characters discovering new marginalized identities and dramatically replacing their yellow stars with rainbow-colored pronoun pins.

Despite its controversial premise, the production has been a hit with audiences.
