The Paul Reubens Show: Meet the Man Behind Pee-wee Herman
The sign on the marquee at the Stephen Sondheim Theater may read “The Pee-wee Herman Show,” but the man at the center of it, and behind more than 30 years of fascination with that antic, perpetually adolescent character, is the actor and comedian Paul Reubens. Two sex scandals could have cost Mr. Reubens his career, or made it unthinkable that he could plausibly portray the childlike Pee-wee — instead, he successfully revived “The Pee-wee Herman Show” earlier this year in Los Angeles and is now about to open it on Broadway.
