The Pee-wee Herman Show -- Theater Review

9:32 PM PST 11/11/2010 by David Rooney

The shrunken suit, tiny bow tie and white loafers have turned up everywhere thanks to Thom Browne and his imitators, but the impish man-child created more than 30 years ago by Paul Reubens remains one of a kind.

When Pee-wee Herman steps onto the stage of Broadway's newly rechristened Stephen Sondheim Theatre and barks, "Good morning, boys and girls" the roar of fans transported back to their childhood or college stoner days is deafening. It gets even louder when the curtain goes up on David Korins' deliriously tricked-out update of original designer Gary Panter's iconic Playhouse set.
