Mix an Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of vintage Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps, a hilarious whodunit, part espionage thriller and part slapstick comedy, adapted for the stage from the famous film and novel. Shots ring out across a crowded theatre and Richard Hannay is lured into a world of intrigue by a mysterious woman claiming to be a spy. When she winds up dead in his flat, he flees London with the police hot on his trail. A runaway hit in London and the winner of the 2007 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, this tongue-in-cheek thriller features four actors taking on more than 150 roles.

On January 4, 2008 Jennifer’s dream of being on the Broadway stage becomes a reality. Currently in rehearsal, the play will start in previews on January 4, with a sold-out opening night of January 15, 2008. The limited engagement will run until March 23, 2008 at the American Airlines Theater.

The play had a very successful run in Boston at the Huntington Theatre in the fall of 2007. For more information on that and to read some of the wonderful reviews check The 39 Steps Boston page. You will also find photos and a rehearsal video.

Hopefully the play will continue it’s great success and be a huge hit for Jennifer. If you saw it in Boston or get a chance to see it on Broadway, please post your comments here for Jennifer’s other fans to see!
