By: Gabrielle Sierra Jan. 05, 2010
What are THE 39 STEPS? You have only eight performances left to discover the secret before Alfred Hitchcock's THE 39 STEPS plays its final performance on Broadway. The hit Tony Award-winning production ends its run on Sunday, January 10 at the Helen Hayes Theatre (240 West 44th Street). The production will have played 771 performances - the longest running Broadway play in seven years.
THE 39 STEPS received its American premiere in September, 2007 at the Huntington Theatre Company in Boston. The Broadway premiere began previews on January 4, 2008, officially opening on January 15 at Roundabout Theatre Company's American Airlines Theatre. The show moved to the Cort Theatre on April 29, 2008 and then to the Helen Hayes Theatre on January 21, 2009. THE 39 STEPS is now in its third smash year in London and a US national tour is currently on the road.Adapted by Patrick Barlow and directed by Maria Aitken, THE 39 STEPS is based on an original concept by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon and on the book by John Buchan. THE 39 STEPS features a cast of four actors who, against all odds, breathlessly and hilariously attempt to reenact all of the characters, locations and famous scenes in Hitchcock's 1935 film thriller with just a few props and a lot of theatrical ingenuity and split second quick changes.
