The film, which was also the directorial debut of Tim Burton (Dumbo) and the first major studio film for composer Danny Elfman (The Grinch), saw the titular comedian go on a cross-country journey in search of his stolen bicycle. It was a critical commercial success, grossing nearly $41 million domestically on a $7 million budget and currently maintaining an 87% “Certified Fresh” approval rating from critics on review aggregate Rotten Tomatoes.

The tour, produced by Live Nation, will feature a special screening of the film followed by Reubens sharing stories about the making of the film and the writing of the character and will take place in 20 cities across America.
