Photo Flash: Cast of KINKY BOOTS Visits 39 STEPS Off-Broadway
|
39 Steps is where Broadway comes on their night off. This past Sunday, the Tony winning hit Kinky Boots paid a visit to downtown's most theatrical show, the two-time Tony Award winning hit comedy 39 Steps, which is playing the Union Square Theatre. The cast of Kinky Boots went backstage afterwards to say hello to the cast, as well as film director Randal Kleiser (Grease, The Blue Lagoon). Check out photos from their visit below!
Adapted by Tony nominated author Patrick Barlow from an original concept by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon, and based on the book by John Buchan and the classic 1935Alfred Hitchcock film, 39 Steps features Tony nominated direction by Mari Aitken, Tony winning lighting design by Kevin Adams, Tony winning sound design by Mic Pool, and Tony nominated scenic and costume design by Peter McKintosh.
39 Steps is a comedic spoof of the classic 1935 film, with only 4 "insanely talented" actors portraying more than 150 characters, sometimes changing roles in the blink of an eye. The brilliantly madcap story follows our dashing heroRichard Hannay (Robert Petkoff) as he races to solve the mystery of The 39 Steps, all the while trying to clear his name. The show's uproarious fast-paced 100 minutes promises to leave you gasping for breath... in a good way! It's fun for everyone from 9 to 99.
39 Steps came to Broadway in January 2008 and ran over three years, playing a record-breaking 1,135 performance - the longest running play in 7 years. It received six 2008 Tony nominations, including Patrick Barlow for Best Play, winning two for Sound Design and Lighting Design, and three Drama Desk Nominations, winning two including Unique Theatrical Experience.
Tickets for the show are now on sale via www.39StepsNY.com, thru Ticketmaster online and by phone at 1-877-250-2929, and also, starting March 25, in person at the Union Square Theatre box office.
