Will they be giving out Vaseline and kleenex at the door?

Congrats to Mr. Sondheim for having such a prestigious work of high art be the first resident at the theater named after him.
But, seriously, this should be interesting to say the least.

God, what a HORRIBLE desecration of the site that once housed (the old Henry Miller) the original production of Our Town. Thorton Wilder and any of the fine actors who played that venue must be turning over in their graves. Sorry, makes me want to puke.

For most people on this board, the answer is actually, yeah. This is nothing.

Pee-Wee has already played Carnegie Hall, the Sondheim is small fries.

What's wrong with Pee Wee Herman? It's a sure thing this will be of higher quality than say, Passion or Road Show.

Besides, don't you think their corpse-turning muscles are all worn out after Bye Bye Birdie?

Sadly the del Rubio triplets will not be joining him.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Can't think of anything I'd less rather spend my money on. Loved the original series but ... for everything there is a season.

I don't get the pedophile jokes- the film he was enjoying was "Naughty Nurses"- adult females.

The paedo jokes refer to his later run-in with the law over his encyclopedic collection of vintage pre-Playboy erotica, some of which did feature depictions of the underage. His story is that he collects it, but does not fetishize it, and uses it as a museum-like gathering, not as a private collectin of pornography. He was acquitted, I believe.

Why is everyone so creeped out by him? For getting ratted out doing what most of you do listening to your WICKED cast album?
I had a friend who saw the show in LA and loved it.

Oh that. The whole thing was dropped I thought. Hard to believe that's what some people think of when they hear "Pee Wee Herman."

Jesus, give it a rest. You all are ridiculous. I know this isn't showcasing a diva in her sixties for you all to orgasm over for two and a half hours, but I, for one, am tremendously excited. I grew up on the show, adore the movie, and have heard a number of reports from people who saw it in L.A. and loved it. It's remarkable how limited some (many) people on here are in their views of what's "acceptable" on their beloved Broadway.

this is awesome... saw the show up in LA and the audience went nuts... definitely a trip down memory lane for lots of people in the audience...

This is NOT deserving of being the first show to play the Sondheim.

I honestly thought this was a joke when I saw it posted on the main page.
