Off-Broadway's 39 STEPS Releases New Block of Tickets for October, November
By: Tyler Peterson Jul. 13, 2015
The two-time Tony Award winning hilarious hit comedy 39 Steps has released a new block of tickets for October and November 2015. In addition, all seats to Wednesday matinees this summer will be available for $39. The production began performances on April 1, 2015 at the Union Square Theatre (100 East 17th Street). For more information, visit www.39StepsNY.com.
Producer Doug Denoff said, "We are thrilled that New York City has welcomed our little-show-that-could back with open arms. Having recently celebrated our 100th performance, it is an honor for us to continue as an entertainment mainstay in Union Square - the heart of New York. When the West End production in London ends its 9-year run on September 5th, our New York production will continue as the flagship destination for lovers of the show."
39 Steps opened to rave reviews on April 13, 2015 at the Union Square Theatre (100 East 17th Street) and is a Critic's Pick from both the New York Times and Time Out Magazine.
39 Steps features original Broadway cast member Arnie Burton reprising his role of Clown #2, Billy Carter as Clown #1, recent Juilliard grad Brittany Vicars as Pamela/Annabella/Margaret, and Broadway vet Robert Petkoff as the dashing hero Richard Hannay.
Adapted by Tony nominated author Patrick Barlow from an original concept by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon, and based on the book by John Buchan and the classic 1935 Alfred Hitchcock film, 39 Steps features Tony nominated direction by Maria Aitken, Tony winning lighting design by Kevin Adams, Tony winning sound design by Mic Pool, and Tony nominated scenic and costume design by Peter McKintosh.
39 Steps is a comedic spoof of the classic 1935 film, with only 4 "insanely talented" actors portraying more than 150 characters, sometimes changing roles in the blink of an eye. The brilliantly madcap story follows our dashing hero Richard Hannay (Robert Petkoff) as he races to solve the mystery of The 39 Steps, all the while trying to clear his name. The show's uproarious fast-paced 100 minutes promises to leave you gasping for breath... in a good way! It's fun for everyone from 9 to 99.
Originally premiering in 2005 at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in England, 39 Steps went on to wow London audiences in 2006 at the Tricycle Theatre before transferring to the West End's Criterion Theatre, where it is still playing in its 9th smash year, quickly approaching its 3,500th performance. The production, and Patrick Barlow, went on to receive the 2007 Olivier Award for Best Comedy, and has since been seen across the globe, from Melbourne and Madrid to Tel Aviv, Seoul, Tokyo and Buenos Aires. In North America, it is one of the top ten licenses shows in regional theatres. It's original Tony Award-winning New York production ran 1,135 performances from 2008-2011.
