VIDEO: Pee-wee Talks About his Comeback at SXSW

At SXSW 2011, Paul Reubens, dressed up as Pee-wee Herman to give sneak peek of his upcoming HBO special “The Pee-wee Herman Show on Broadway” followed by a Q&A with the audience and a meet and greet with fans where he dispensed ice cream from a truck out on the street.

“The Pee-wee Herman Show on Broadway” was shot at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre in New York City in January 2011, immediately after its successful Broadway engagement. The 90 minute HBO special is filled with subversive humor and childlike wonder based on both Reubens’ original stage show “The Pee-wee Herman Show” and the Emmy-winning Saturday morning television show,”Pee-wee’s Playhouse.”

The audience was absolutely delighted to see the quirky pop culture icon living in a post-modern Playhouse back on the screen. It premieres on HBO at 10PM on March 19th.
