In August, Pee-wee Herman, a.k.a. Paul Reubens, announced that he would return to the spotlight in a re-conceived version of his ‘80s stage production ‘The Pee-wee Herman Show’ at the Music Box @ Fonda.
Now the eternal man-child has announced that the show has moved to Club Nokia in downtown L.A. In addition, the show is now set to start its run Jan. 12, 2010, pushed back from the original opening day of Nov. 19.
Ticket-holders can exchange their seats for ‘comparable’ seats beginning at 10 a.m. Wednesday through 10 p.m. Oct. 13 via Ticketmaster at (800) 653-8000. (They should have their original confirmation number when calling.)
In a statement, Reubens said: ‘To the fans who already bought tickets, I apologize for the inconvenience of the venue and date changes and am arranging for you to come backstage and say hello!’
Promoters of ‘The Pee-wee Herman Show’ said that the venue change ‘will allow more fans to attend and purchase tickets at various price points, including VIP tickets, as well as lower-priced general admission tickets.’
The public sale of Club Nokia tickets is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. Oct. 15 via Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000 or www.ticketmaster.com.
‘The Pee-wee Herman Show’ will run at Club Nokia from Jan. 12 to Feb. 7.
Alex Timbers has joined as the show’s director. With his roots in experimental theater, Timbers is the artistic director of the New York-based company Les Freres Corbusier. He directed ‘Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson’ at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in 2008.
