STEPPING BACK TO BROADWAY IN 2016
Producer Douglas Denoff announced that the two-time Tony Award® winning hilarious hit comedy 39 Steps will play its final performance in its critically-acclaimed run at the Union Square Theatre (100 East 17th Street) at the special Sunday, January 3, 2016 evening performance at 7:30PM, and is setting its sights back to Broadway for the coming year.
39 Steps is a comedic spoof of the classic 1935 film, with only 4 “insanely talented” actors portraying more than 150 characters, sometimes changing roles in the blink of an eye. The brilliantly madcap story follows our dashing hero Richard Hannay (Robert Petkoff) as he races to solve the mystery of The 39 Steps, all the while trying to clear his name. The show’s uproarious fast-paced 100 minutes promises to leave you gasping for breath… in a good way! It’s fun for everyone from 9 to 99.
39 Steps is playing the following performance schedule at the Union Square Theatre (100 East 17th Street): Mondays at 7:00 PM, Wednesdays at 2:00PM and 8:00 PM, Thursdays at 8:00 PM, Fridays at 8:00 PM, Saturdays at 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM, and Sundays at 3:00 PM. Tickets for the show are now on sale via www.39StepsNY.com, by phone at 1-877-250-2929, and, in person at the Union Square Theatre box office, which opens at 1PM daily except Tuesdays (Noon on Wednesdays and Saturdays) and remains open until show time (5PM on Sundays.) Tickets are priced at $39-89. Premium seats are $105. $20 tickets for students, teachers, nurses, veterans, armed forces, NYPD and FDNY are available in person at the box office with ID the day of the show.
Mezzanine seats and all seats at Wednesday Matinees are $39 with $20 tickets for students, teachers, veterans, armed forces, NYPD and FDNY available in person at the box office with ID the day of the show. Starting December 1, 2015, all Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evening performances will be at 7PM, Wednesday matinees continue at 2PM, Fridays at 8PM, Saturdays continue at 2PM &8PM and Sundays at 3PM.
