Pee-wee and friends live on stage

Pee-wee’s back!

“The Pee-wee Herman Show,” a new Broadway show based on the Paul Reubens’ 1981 stage productions, movies, and the Saturday morning television show, brings back the bow-tied icon and his friends from Pee-wee’s Playhouse.

Fresh off a sold-out run in Los Angeles, the fanciful production will feature new music and delightful puppetry work, with the cast of characters including Miss Yvonne, Cowboy Curtis, Pterri the Pterodactyl, Jambi the Genie, and Chairry in an all new celebration of sophisticated silliness.

Filled with subversive humor and childlike wonder, “The Pee-wee Herman Show” charts a day in the life of the bow-tied hero, one of the most inspired comic personas of our time who’s ready to charm a whole new generation.

“The Pee-wee Herman Show” at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre [124 W. 43rd St. between Broadway and Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, (212) 719-1300], Oct. 26-Jan. 2, 2011. Tickets $67-$122. For info, visit www.Peewee.com/Broadway.
