Three decades after his first HBO special, Paul Reubens returns to the network in an exclusive presentation of his hit Broadway show. Debuting March 29, the HBO presentation THE Pee-Wee Herman SHOW ON BROADWAY shot at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre New York in January. Check out the poster for the HBO special below!

Opening to critical acclaim at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre on Nov. 11, 2010, "The Pee-Wee Herman Show" is 90 minutes of subversive humor and childlike wonder based on both Reubens' original stage show, "The Pee-Wee Herman Show," and the Emmy®-winning Saturday morning TV show, "Pee-wee's Playhouse," which became a cultural phenomenon. The New York Times called the new Broadway show "yummier than chocolate," with New York saying, "Welcome back, Pee-wee! You were sorely missed," while the New York Post noted, "The audience screams for joy!"

The Broadway production of "The Pee-Wee Herman Show" starred (in order of appearance): Paul Reubens as Pee-Wee Herman, plus John Moody (Mailman Mike), Drew Powell (Bear), John Paragon (Jambi), Jesse Garcia (Sergio), Phil LaMarr (Cowboy Curtis), Lynne Marie Stewart (Miss Yvonne), Lance Roberts (King of Cartoons) and Josh Meyers (Firefighter). Reubens also brought the Pee-wee character to the big screen in "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" and "Big Top Pee-wee."

Paul Reubens' other credits include the TV series "30 Rock," "Pushing Daisies," "Reno 911!," "Everybody Loves Raymond," "Family Guy" and "Murphy Brown" (which earned him an Emmy® nomination), and the feature films "Mystery Men," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Blow," "Life During Wartime," "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and the upcoming "Nailed."
