he red bow tie. The form-fitting gray suit. The white loafers. Oh, and that laugh. Pee-wee Herman is back and his creator, Paul Reubens, is overjoyed — and more than a little nervous too.
“I’ve put part of him away for a long time, but part of him has always been here with me,” the soft-spoken actor said from his home in L.A. “I think it will be like riding a bike — which is not a bad analogy for Pee-wee, by the way.”
But he added: “I have some fear that he won’t be funny after all this time. I don’t want to ruin it.”
After a hiatus of close to 20 years, Reubens announced Monday that he would be playing Pee-wee in a new stage show at the Music Box @ Fonda in Hollywood, with tickets going on sale today. The production, titled “The Pee-wee Herman Show” and set to run Nov. 19-29, is a reimagined version of the actor’s original theatrical show of the same name that began at the Groundlings Theatre in 1981. It played at the Roxy in L.A. for five months in the early ’80s and helped bring Pee-wee national recognition, including an HBO special and the 1985 film “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure,” directed by Tim Burton.
The show will feature the same story line as the original: Pee-wee, a nerdy man-child with a colorful menagerie of anthropomorphic friends, is granted a wish to learn to fly but gives the
Paul Reubens wish away, much to his eventual regret. Reubens said he has revised parts of the story to include new songs as well as characters from his popular CBS television series, “Pee-wee’s Playhouse.”
In one notable change, a character played on stage by the late comic actor Phil Hartman has been replaced with another character. “I didn’t want to be looking at someone else playing Phil’s part,” Reubens said.
Among the characters familiar from the TV series that will appear on stage will be Pee-wee’s talking chair, Chairry, and his friend Pterri the pterodactyl.-latimes.com
