News Celebrate Hitchcock's 116th Birthday with the Cast of The 39 Steps The Off-Broadway comedy The 39 Steps will celebrate what would have been Alfred Hitchcock's 116th birthday on Aug. 13, by inviting the audience to join post-show festivities, including a custom-designed cake by Alchemy Bakery.

The show also announced that it will celebrate the occasion by launching a daily lottery; a select number of tickets will be made available via a lottery at the box office beginning one hour before curtain call.

The cast of The 39 Steps features original Broadway cast member Arnie Burton as Clown #2, as well as Billy Carter as Clown #1, Broadway vet Robert Petkoff as the dashing hero Richard Hannay and Brittany Vicars as Pamela/Annabella/Margaret in her New York City stage debut.

The creative team includes Tony-nominated writer Patrick Barlow, Tony-nominated director Maria Aitken, Tony-winning lighting designer Kevin Adams, Tony-winning sound designer Mic Pool and Tony-nominated scenic and costume designer Peter McKintosh. The 39 Steps is produced by Douglas Denoff, Mark Leonard, Bruce Robert Harris and Jack W. Batman, Neal Rubinstein, Neil Gooding Productions, J.M. Allain, Corey Brunish/Terrence Cranert, Patrick Blake, Albert and Trudy Kallis, in association with Fiery Angel, London.
