The Pee-wee Herman Show on Broadway

Based on the original show that launched Pee-wee Herman into an American pop culture icon, Paul Reubens’ beloved quirky character brings his Playhouse to life once more! The Pee-wee Herman Show on Broadway was shot at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre in New York City in January 2011, immediately following the conclusion of its wildly successful Broadway engagement. The 90 minute HBO special is filled with subversive humor and childlike wonder based both on Reubens original stage show The Pee-wee Herman Show and the Emmy-winning Saturday morning television show, Pee-wee’s Playhouse, that became a cultural phenomenon. –SXSW
