Men Are From Mars/Women Are From Venus
Overture Center-Playhouse 201 State St., Madison, Wisconsin 53703

Are men and women really so different when it comes to love, sex and relationships? If you asked author, lecturer and self-proclaimed relationship specialist John Gray, he would say “yes.” Gray wrote the bestselling book, Men Are from Mars/Women Are from Venus, which claims that the differences in how partners communicate and keep score prevent many couples from living happily ever after. In this Off Broadway, one-man comedy show, Amadeo Fusca explores how John Gray’s philosophies changed his approach to romance and helped him decipher what his wife is really saying.
press release: Men are encouraged to “score some major points” by treating their ladies to a laughter-inducing date night at the Off-Broadway hit comedy Men are from Mars – Women are from Venus LIVE! at The Playhouse theater on Friday, January 10 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, January 11 at 4 & 8 p.m. The light-hearted, one-man play is a fusion of theater and stand-up comedy based on John Gray’s New York Times #1 bestselling book about the differences between the genders.
Hear the story of a man who has resisted the advice of John Gray, but a chance meeting with the man himself changed everything. Now he tells his experience with the book and his relationship in this uproarious show that covers everything from dating to marriage to the bedroom. Couples will be elbowing each other all evening as they see themselves on stage. Sexy and fast paced, this show is definitely for adults, but will leave audiences laughing and giggling like little kids!
Gray’s self-help book has sold more than 15 million copies and, according to a CNN report, was the “highest ranked work of non-fiction” of the 1990s.
