The two-time Tony Award-winning hilarious hit comedy 39 STEPS welcomed its first celebrity guest assassin this past weekend when technology journalist and television personality David Pogue joined the cast briefly for his theatrical debut at the historic Union Square Theatre on Saturday, September 26. Scroll down for a look at him onstage!

Pogue is one of the most prestigious technology and science Writer/Presenters around the globe. You may not know this, but he also has a strong musical background. He is currently the personal technology columnist for Yahoo Tech, a tech correspondent for CBS News Sunday Morning, a columnist for Scientific American and a former technology columnist for The New York Times. He also appears on PBS and is the author of many books on technology.

39 STEPS recently released a new block of tickets for October and November 2015. The production began performances on April 1, 2015 and officially opened on April 13, 2015.

39 STEPS features original Broadway cast member Arnie Burton reprising his role of Clown #2, Billy Carter as Clown #1, recent Juilliard grad Brittany Vicars as Pamela/Annabella/Margaret, and Broadway vet Robert Petkoffas the dashing hero Richard Hannay.

Adapted by Tony nominated author Patrick Barlow from an original concept by Simon Corble andNobby Dimon, and based on the book by John Buchan and the classic 1935 Alfred Hitchcock film, 39 STEPS features Tony nominated direction by Maria 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.
