STAGE TUBE: PEE-WEE on Broadway - First Look!

The Pee-wee Herman Show on Broadway! from Pee-wee Herman

The Pee-wee Herman Show begins previews October 26 and opens on November 11, 2010 at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre.  Click below for a first look at some show clips!

The production recently announced a four-week extension due to overwhelming demand. The Pee-wee Herman Show will now run through January 2, 2011.

In addition to Paul Reubens starring as Pee-wee Herman, the Broadway engagement of The Pee-wee Herman Show will feature three performers who created their characters in the original groundbreaking production of The Pee-wee Herman Show at the Groundlings Theatre in 1981: John Moody as Mailman Mike, John Paragon as Jambi the Genie, and Lynne Marie Stewart as Miss Yvonne. Paragon and Stewart also played their roles on the long-running CBS TV series.

The cast also includes Jesse Garcia (ALMA Award Winner for Quinceañera) as Sergio the Handyman, and Phil LaMarr as Cowboy Curtis.

Additionally, The Pee-wee Herman Show will also feature Josh Meyers, Drew Powell, and Lance Roberts.

Based on Reubens' 1981 cult classic stage production, The Pee-wee Herman Show, with new elements from the ground-breaking CBS show "Pee-wee's Playhouse" added generously, this new production is written by Paul Reubens and Bill Steinkellner, with additional material by John Paragon. Directed by Alex Timbers (Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson), The Pee-wee Herman Show will feature music by Jay Cotton and the work of renowned puppetry artist Basil Twist. The production comes to New York direct from its acclaimed, sold-out run in Los Angeles.

The Pee-wee Herman Show reunites the one-and-only Pee-wee Herman (Paul Reubens) with many of the original Playhouse cast of characters - including Miss Yvonne, Cowboy Curtis, Pterri the Pterodactyl, Jambi the Genie, and Chairry - for an all new celebration of sophisticated silliness. An eye-popping 90 minutes of subversive humor and childlike wonder, The Pee-wee Herman Show charts a day in the life of our bow-tied hero, one of the most inspired comic personas of our time.
