Pee-wee’s Broadway Adventure

Pee-wee Herman, the ageless man-boy in the ill-fitting plaid suit played to hyperkinetic perfection by Paul Reubens, is set to conquer Broadway in a limited engagement of The Pee-wee Herman Show. The show will open at New York's Stephen Sondheim Theatre for a limited six-week, 48-performance engagement beginning October 26.

The show completed a very successful run in Los Angeles in February. Part of the show's appeal for gay audiences is Herman's flouting of society's conventions. In Pee-wee's Playhouse, his hit TV series that ran on Saturday mornings throughout the late 1980s, Herman famously got married to a bowl of fruit salad.
