Big Top Pee-wee

Saturday, July 12
Doors: 7 PM / Show: 7:30 PM
Tickets: $20

Hollywood Entertainment invites you to be swept away to the weird and wonderful world of Pee-wee's circus with our hero and yours, Wayne White, in person! A brilliant artist, designer, illustrator, voice actor, and puppeteer who won 3 Emmy Awards for his work on Pee-wee's Playhouse, we're honored to hear him speak swine about his performance as Vance The Pig in Big Top Pee-wee!

As Pee-wee once said, "In Big Top Pee-wee, I live on a country farm where I feed my barnyard animals pancake breakfasts and work on top-secret botanical experiments with my pet pig, Vance (White). One day a storm blows an entire circus into my yard! There’s wild animals and all kinds of cool circus stuff – especially the trapeze artist, Gina (Valeria Golino). She’s the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen! She’s the most beautiful girl I’ve ever kissed, too!! That’s probably why my fiancée, Winnie (Penelope Ann Miller), gets so angry. Let me tell you, one torrid love triangle in a lifetime is plenty for anyone! It all works out great, eventually, and I even get to be in the circus! Sawdust, glitter and excitement – I hope you like it!!"
