FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Pee-wee Herman Show

He holds his own
8 / 10

To watch all this live feels supremely familiar and comforting, like eating a huge ice-cream sundae topped by a mountain of whipped cream and exploding sparklers.

'The Pee-wee Herman Show'
9 / 10

This is essentially an updated version of Reubens' original stage show, which in turn inspired the film 'Pee-wee's Big Adventure' and the Saturday morning television series 'Pee-wee's Playhouse.' There's not much of a plot, but the show is overloaded with atmosphere and laughs.

Review - The Pee-wee Herman Show: Somebody, Force Me To Care
by Ben Peltz - December 6, 2010

Back in the days of Henry Miller, it was one of the great Broadway traditions for him and other men of the theatre to name playhouses for themselves.  I won't discount that perhaps some ego-stroking was involved, but it was also a shrewd business move.  The popular actor/producer was telling the public that even if he wasn't appearing in the house's current offering, the production arrived with his seal of approval.  This wasn't just some play paying money to rent his space; Henry Miller believed this to be quality theatre.
