HILARIOUS ONE-MAN THEATRICAL COMEDY
MEN ARE FROM MARS – WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS LIVE!
COMES TO THE KIMMEL CENTER CULTURAL CAMPUS JUNE 23, 2018
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Philadelphia, PA, April 30, 2018) –– The Off-Broadway smash hit comedy, Men Are From Mars – Women Are From Venus LIVE!, is a one-man fusion of theater and stand-up, a light-hearted theatrical comedy based on the The New York Times #1 best-selling book of the last decade written by John Gray. Moving swiftly through a series of vignettes, the show covers everything from dating and marriage to the bedroom. This show will play the Perelman Theater on Saturday, June 23, 2018 for two shows at 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. It is presented by the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts and Emery Entertainment.
“This performance adds a new twist to John Gray’s book Men Are From Mars – Women Are From Venus,” said Anne Ewers, President and CEO of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. “We are excited to present this hilarious show on our Kimmel Center Cultural Campus, a perfect addition to what has been a jam-packed season of comedy.”
After beginning in Paris in 2007, Men Are From Mars – Women Are From Venus LIVE! has been seen by more than one million people around Europe. It debuted in the United States in February 2013, and will be touring the United States and Canada throughout the year.
This hysterical show will have couples 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!
When Mars and Venus collide, the adventures are earth-shatteringly hysterical. It's a great recipe for
a night out: a little storytelling blended with some comedy and a dash of sage wisdom from the book.
A delicious evening of entertainment!
John Gray’s Men Are From Mars – Women Are From Venus was published in 1992. It explores the differences between the sexes.
