MEN ARE FROM MARS – WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS LIVE!
Returns to the Aronoff Center’s Jason-Kaplan Theater
Friday, April 13 & Saturday, April 14

The New York Times says a “First-person, funny domestic tales and retro stand-up comedy based on The New York Times best-seller.”

Cincinnati, OH – The Off-Broadway hit MEN ARE FROM MARS – WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS LIVE! is a one-man fusion of theatre and stand-up and a light-hearted theatrical comedy based on The New York Times #1 best-selling book of the last decade by John Gray. Moving swiftly through a series of vignettes, the show covers everything from dating and marriage to the bedroom.  This show returns to the Aronoff Center’s intimate Jarson-Kaplan Theater on Friday, April 13 at 7:30 PM and Saturday, April 14 at 4:00 PM & 7:30 PM.

Tickets are on sale now at www.CincinnatiArts.org, (513) 621-ARTS [2787], and the Aronoff Center Ticket Office. Group discount tickets for ten or more are available by calling (513) 977-4157.

MEN ARE FROM MARS – WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS LIVE! is more than just the book.

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 in Raleigh, North Carolina and will be playing to audiences around 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!

Starring in this one-man theatrical comedy is AMADEO FUSCA. Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, Amadeo currently performs on the Upright Citizens Brigade Maude House Sketch Comedy team ‘Hot Bird’.

In 2013, he won the legendary Friars Club “So You Think You Can Roast?” competition, beating out fifty-five other comedians, roasting ‘80s child-star Ricky Schroeder and NBA Hall-of-Famer Dennis Rodman in the process. As the winner, Amadeo was among the dais to roast comedic actor Jack Black, along with comic legends such as the “Roastmaster” General Jeff Ross, Sarah Silverman, Artie Lange, Bob Saget, Amy Schumer, and more. Amadeo’s success at the roast landed him two quotes in Entertainment Weekly’s funniest jokes of the event.

In addition to his comedy, Amadeo also can be seen in various television and film productions. His wide range of dramatic and comedic roles include a co-starring role in the final episode of the HBO hit series Boardwalk Empire, a co-starring role in the season finale of the Netflix series Marvel’s Daredevil, a co-starring role in the CBS show As The World Turns, and a supporting role in the feature film A New York Heartbeat, starring Eric Roberts and Rachel Brosnahan.

His influences in film and comedy include Robert De Niro, Paul Newman, Steve Martin, Don Rickles, and Sebastian Maniscalco.  Amadeo currently lives in New York City.
