Yesterday, December 28, the fun of Pee-Wee continued post-show when Paul Reubens chatted with his fans at the stage door of the Stephen Sondheim Theatre.  Click below to watch Pee-Wee in action!

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" stars (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."

THE Pee-Wee Herman SHOW ON BROADWAY reunites Paul Reubens and Marty Callner, who will direct this new HBO special and directed the 1981 HBO special "The Pee-Wee Herman Show." Callner's previous HBO credits include comedy specials starring Will Ferrell, Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, George Carlin and Robin Williams.
