The Pee-wee Herman Show is moving to Club Nokia in downtown L.A.. The new opening date is January 12, 2010.

More at the Los Angeles Times.

“Slava’s Snowshow” ended it’s 3-week Melbourne run in Melbourne today, and moves to Perth.

Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise attended the final day matinee, as reported in the Herald-Sun.

It’s the theatre event of the year. No, the decade!!

The Pee-wee Herman Show returns to the live stage, opening in LA in November.

Highlights from the barrage of media excitement include the LA Times,  Entertainment Weekly and Hollywood Reporter.  (One EW.com reader commented “Got my tickets! I am flying from Florida because I would not miss this for anything!”)

Our New Zealand tour has been even more successful than we hoped. The sold out  Christchurch Arts Festival run closed Sunday; and the Taranaki Arts Festival run just opened, with every seat sold in advance.

Christchurch’s Head of Communications, Garreth Spillane, wrote: Having been working on the Festival and marketing the Solid Energy Season of SLAVA’S SNOWSHOW for four months now, I have to admit that SLAVA fatigue was beginning to set in. This morning however I sat in the St James Theatre and managed to be blown away by this fabulous show. SLAVA’S SNOWSHOW is a work of magic that will enrich its audience – it celebrates humanity and theatricality and the wonder of what can be done when a simple idea is executed perfectly. Please, don’t miss it!

This week’s edition of Pollstar magazine — their Mid-Year Report — includes the TOP 100 WORLDWIDE PROMOTERS.

Foster Entertainment came in at #95, our first time on the list.

Our Australian and New Zealand Snowshow tour opened last night.

The 10-week tour plays first in NZ, starting at Wellington’s St James Theatre.

The opening performance got a standing ovation, and a rave review in  Wellington’s Dominion Post.

Puppetry of the Penis is returning to New York for a limited summer engagement at 45 Bleecker. Only just announced, it went on sale on Monday, and is already selling strongly.

David Strassman’s new DVD — his third — was released today in Australia.

Greeted by a thundering standing ovation — it felt more like a hockey game than a concert — Kevin Smith’s sell-out Carnegie Hall show was hilarious, “startlingly full disclosure …from the directorial to the lavatorial”, as the Village Voice said.

Likewise, Entertainment Weekly raved here, with many comments including:

Joe Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 01:24 PM EST I was there at Carnegie last night. It was hilarious and heart-warming all at the same time – as long as you can handle the language. (By the way – I can!) Smith is a genius and so incredibly quick-witted with hysterical rapid fire answers. Just when you catch your breath from laughing at a funny line, the next one comes and just makes you laugh harder. I’m 52 years old and it just goes to show you what a wide audience base the man has. More power to him and bless him for his honesty!

Liza Minnelli’s “Liza at the Palace” won the Tony for Special Theatrical Event last night, beating our production, “Slava’s Snowshow”.

Will Ferrell’s “You’re Welcome America” and “Soul of Shaolin” shared the category.
