Paul Reubens creator and star of Pee-wees Playhouse and three Pee-wee Herman films is going out on tour to celebrate the 35th anniversary of his 1985 breakout movie as Pee-wee, Pee-wees Big Adventure.
Each tour date will be accompanied by a screening of the film which marked the directorial debut for Tim Burton and the first major motion picture credit for composer Danny Elfman followed by live behind-the-scenes stories from Reubens.
The 20-city outing kicks off February 14th in Portland, Oregon, and runs through March 29th with a final show in Washington, DC.
Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday, December 13th at 10:00 a.m. local time.
In 2016, Netflix released the most recent Pee-wee film, Pee-wees Big Holiday. In a Q&A following a screening of the film at the 92nd Street Y, Reubens revealed that he had had to change the entire plot ofPee-wees Big Adventure shortly before filming began.
I was writing a remake of [the 1960 Disney film] Pollyanna without permission, he said of the first draft. Every day, me, [Pee-wees Big Adventurewriter]Phil Hartman and a producer would take a lunch break and walk to the commissary. As we would walk by, every single person was on a bike and every day, Id be like, I gotta get a bike. One day I came back from lunch and they had bought me a restored Schwinn racer and it was chained up to a post that had a little character of me that said Pee-wee Herman bike parking only. And I looked at it and said, Im writing the wrong movie. Were doing the wrong thing.'
He began writing a new draft of the film that very same day.
