I wish Pee-Wee the best of luck. I used to watch his TV show all the time, and still do on occasion.

The original Pee Wee Herman Show was hilarious. I wish him the best!

Will this include the episode where he visited an Adult Movie Theatre and wacked off to the man-on-man scene?

All of the original actors from the TV show will reprise their roles for the stage play, except for Laurence Fishburne, who played Cowboy Curtis.

Fishburne, who has won Emmys and was nominated for an Oscar since his Pee-Wee's Playhouse days, is busy portraying Dr. Raymond Langston in the CSI TV series, Sanders said. But Herman did call Fishburne to get his approval to hire another actor for the part, he said.

"Just before he hung up, Laurence said to Pee Wee, 'But listen, if you decide you're going to do another movie, I'll get that Jheri curl out and I'll be there for Cowboy Curtis," Sanders said.

Awesome.

He was in an adult movie theatre! What else would you do there?

Laurence Fishburne proudly said a few weeks ago on the BBC's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross that he would definitely play Cowboy Curtis if and when there would be another Pee Wee film.

I have to assume Phil Hartman won't be back as Captain Carl - since he's dead.

I'm looking forward to seeing Miss Yvonne in her 60s. Pee-Wee is nothing if not creative -- it'll be great.

Can we talk about how Alex Timbers is the perfect person to direct this?

As weird as it sounds, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't buy a ticket if it comes to New York. But I expect an original, onstage Penny Cartoon.
