Paul Rubens is expected to make a big splash on Broadway next week when a stage production featuring a character he created hits the boards at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre.
The Pee Wee Herman Show was based on Paul Ruben's alter-ego and was an award-winning children's series that ran on CBS from 1986 -1991.
Rubins also met with theatrical success with the feature film release of " Pee Wee's Big Adventure "and the sequel "Big Top Pee Wee" .
The Pee Wee Herman show is based on the popular Television show "Pee Wee’s Playhouse" of yesteryear.
Understandably, a cast of familiar characters will take the stage, in the new incaration on the stage in Tin Pan Alley.
Audiences will be cracking up over the wild shenanigans of - Mailman Mike, Cowboy Curtis, Ms. Yvonne, and Jambi - for starters.
The comic actually “tested” the material - slated for its Broadway run - in what amounted to out-of-town previews.
Before Rubins landed the backing for the New York stage show, he performed a version of his new project in Hollywood to sold out audiences.
In fact, if I recall correctly, the production was extended to accommodate the demand for tickets.
When Pee Wee appeared on Jimmy Fallon the other night, it was obvious the zany comic's timing is as impecable as ever.
Mr. Rubens is witty, insightful, and a unique talent in the final analysis.
Break a leg, Pee Wee!
