WINNER! 2 Tony® and Drama Desk Awards, 2008
WINNER! BEST NEW COMEDY Laurence Olivier Award, 2007
The 39 Steps, is Broadway's longest running comedy, playing its 500th performance on Broadway, May 19th, 2009!
Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps, a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! This 2-time Tony® and Drama Desk Award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a ridiculously talented cast of 4), an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers and some good old-fashioned romance!
In The 39 Steps, a man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she's a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organization called "The 39 Steps" is hot on the man's trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale! A riotous blend of virtuoso performances and wildly inventive stagecraft, The 39 Steps amounts to an unforgettable evening of pure pleasure!
"A wonderful triumph of theatre!" -BBC Radio 4
"It's really not so much about a spoof of Hitchcock, which it is, of course; it's really an homage to the theater. Not the contemporary theater, where mermaids traverse the stage on wheels and gargantuan mechanical sets get bigger applause than the actors, but the nostalgic version that survives on greasepaint and hammy actors. It's a valentine to that kind of creativity and imagination, of doing so much with so little..." -The New York Times
"THEATER AT ITS FINEST... Absurdly enjoyable! This gleefully theatrical riff on Hitchcock's film is fast and frothy, performed by a cast of four that seems like a cast of thousands." -Ben Brantley, The New York Times

"INGENIOUS! A DIZZY DELIGHT!" -Joe Dziemianowicz, Daily News
"RIOTOUS & MARVELOUS!" -Clive Barnes, The New York Post

The 39 Steps
Holy crap this is a beast of a show. Even just rereading the script is exhausting. I really wanna know which costumer broke Patrick Barlow's heart because, daaaamn. 2 actors playing over 250 separate parts is just plain mean.
The Greater Tuna boys and even the Reduced Shakespeare Company aren't that harsh on their production designers.
The dialogue is fun pastiche of Alfred Hitchcock's movie and the novel it was based on, stereotypes and posturing and ridiculousness--thankoo, right-ho and crikey--but the heart underneath, that horrific absurdity of war, is lost in the frantic how-did-they-do-that cheese of the two "clowns" who are barely more than a set dressing foil to the main characters.
