FROM IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT: PEE-WEE HERMAN STAGES A RETURN – ON BROADWAY!

EMMY®-NOMINATED "THE PEE-WEE HERMAN SHOW ON BROADWAY" Appearing on Blu-ray™, DVD and Digital Download October 4


CHATSWORTH, CA – That voice…that suit…that mad combination of innovative humor and childlike wonder…”I know you are, but what am I?” Pee-wee Herman is back!  The quirky character created by Paul Reubens – which became an American pop culture icon – is back in his Playhouse. Ready to say the secret word? 

On October 4, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his groundbreaking TV show “Pee-wee’s Playhouse,” Image Entertainment will release The Pee-wee Herman Show on Broadway on Blu-ray™, DVD and digital download. First broadcast on HBO, The Pee-wee Herman Show on Broadway received 3 Emmy® nominations including “Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special.”

Directed by 11-time Emmy® nominee Marty Callner – who also directed the original 1981 “The Pee-wee Herman Show” – it was shot at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre in New York City in January 2011 after the conclusion of its triumphant Broadway engagement.  SRP for the DVD is $19.98 and $24.98 for the Blu-ray™. Pre-book is September 6. Bonus features on the Blu-ray™ and DVD include a commentary with Paul Reubens and the cast!

Exclusive bonus features on the Blu-ray™ and DVD includes an intimate commentary with Paul Reubens and the entire cast! This unique bonus feature will provide Pee-wee fans worldwide a rare glimpse behind the big red door of the Playhouse with fascinating stories and warm memories of their times together from the earliest days to the amazing comeback of today.

Pee-wee Herman is experiencing a remarkable revival, achieving a status unheard of thirty years ago -- even reaching 950,000 followers on Twitter!  Most recently, writer-director-producer Judd Apatow has announced that he and Reubens (whose credits also include “30 Rock” “Pushing Daisies,” “Everybody Loves Raymond,” and “Murphy Brown”, an appearance which earned him an Emmy® nomination), are developing a new feature film based on the character.

Clever, colorful and comical, this special is based both on Reubens’ original stage show The Pee-wee Herman Show and the multiple Emmy® winning and nominated Saturday morning television show “Pee-wee’s Playhouse.” Featuring both old and new characters, you’ll love The Pee-wee Herman Show on Broadway so much – you’ll want to marry it!
