Paul Rubens, who played the character of Pee-wee in the Emmy-winning "Pee-wee's Playhouse," reprises his cinema personage in a play opening Tuesday in New York's Stephen Sondheim theater, The New York Post reported.
Rubens' Saturday-morning children's program wasn't renewed when its four-year run ended in 1990 because of an "indecent exposure" charge against him in 1991, the newspaper said.
Now, following a 20-year hiatus, the 58-year-old Ruben and his Pee-wee persona are starring in a big-budget live version of his comedy act. The play is a combined version of the children's show and an earlier, adult-oriented Home Box Office special, "The Pee-wee Herman Show," the report said.(keep reading)
