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 "The most
entertaining show on Broadway " -Liz Smith, The New York Post
"INGENIOUS A DIZZY DELIGHT " -Joe Dziemianowicz, Daily News
"RIOTOUS & MARVELOUS " -Clive Barnes, The New York Post

giddy display of theatrical invention " -David Rooney, Variety
"comedy of the highest order " -Roma Torre, NY1 "About the
cleverest show on Broadway in a long time " -David Richardson, WOR
Radio "Rollicking Fun Hugely Entertaining " -Sunday Times "Clever,
very funny, imaginative and brilliantly acted " -The Guardian
"Dizzyingly entertaining show " -Daily Teleg
