Producer Douglas Denoff, in association with Fiery Angel, London, has announced that the two-time Tony Award winning hilarious hit comedy 39 Steps will re-open in New York City at the Union Square Theatre (100 East 17th Street) starting April Fools' Day, Wednesday, April 1st for an open-ended run. 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 1935 Alfred Hitchcock film, 39 Steps will officially open on Monday, April 13th.

To celebrate the release of the performance rights to an abridged schools version of THE 39 STEPS, which is currently in its ninth award-winning year at the West End's Criterion Theatre, the production is offering schools a chance to win a FREE trip to see the show from Monday 6 April - Thursday 25 June 2015.

Today in 2008, The 39 Steps opend at the American Airlines Theatre, where it ran for 771 performances. The play is a farce adapted from the 1915 novel by John Buchan and the 1935 film by Alfred Hitchcock. Patrick Barlow wrote the adaptation, based on the original concept by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon of a two-actor version of the play. The play's concept calls for the entirety of the 1935 adventure film The 39 Steps to be performed with a cast of only four. One actor plays the hero, Richard Hannay, an actress plays the three women with whom he has romantic entanglements, and two other actors play every other character in the show: heroes, villains, men, women, children and even the occasional inanimate object. This often requires lightning fast quick-changes and occasionally for them to play multiple characters at once. Thus the film's serious spy story is played mainly for laughs, and the script is full of allusions to (and puns on the titles of) other Alfred Hitchcock films, including Rear Window, Psycho, Vertigo and North by Northwest.

According to the show's official website, The 39 Steps, which ran on Broadway in 2008-10, will reopen in New York City this spring. The play resume performances off Broadway at the Union Square Theatre in April 2015, and will run indefinitely.

The Hilberry Theatre will kick off its 52nd Season of plays on September 19 with the popular farce Boeing Boeing. The season features comedies and dramas that collectively earned 19 Tony and Drama Desk Award nominations. Season tickets are on sale now.
