“Mr. Herman, Paging Mr. Herman”
Some of my readers may remember this line and a whole host of others from Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure. This line was totally a visual gag… it’s when we see the actor playing Pee-Wee (suave, debonair… the total opposite of Pee-Wee) in the movie he wrote about his life and his big adventure, while watching the movie Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure. As my hubby would say, very meta.
Pee-wee is of course the one and only Paul Reubens, and he’s bringing The Pee-wee Herman Show to the great white way, which officially opens in November, for a limited engagement run. It sounds like a lot of the old favorite characters like Chairry and Pterri from Pee-wee’s Playhouse will help my generation relive a piece of our childhood.
The secret word of the day is Broadway!!!
