Pee-wee's comeback?

So...I guess he is back..at 60yo he is reprising the same role for sold out Broadway audiences..adults btw..Never been a fan myself but apparently there is life still left in the role. Now what is interesting is that he started out with the Groundlings..one of the two major feeder comedy troops for SNL. The original pee-wees playhouse was the brainchild of Phil Hartman and Tim Burton. It was designed to be an adult comedy for HBO. When I read this..especially about Phil and Tim..I was like huh?!? (btw the adult movie theater he was arrested in was in florida)

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.
