Aronoff Center – Jarson-Kaplan Theater

This Off-Broadway hit comedy is a one-man fusion of theatre and stand-up 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.

They’re bringing their crazy toys, incredible tools, and mind-blowing demonstrations for a celebration of curiosity that’s an interactive, hands-on, minds-on theatrical experience like no other. Adam and Michael’s Brain Candy Live! experience is like a two-hour play date with Walt Disney, Willy Wonka, and Albert Einstein.

Together longer than The Beatles, RAIN has mastered every song, gesture and nuance of the legendary foursome, delivering a totally live, note-for-note performance that’s as infectious as it is transporting.

The Golden Dragon Acrobats are recognized throughout the United States and abroad as the premiere Chinese acrobatic touring company of today.

See what millions of women worldwide have been laughing about for sixteen years. It’s the Hilarious Celebration of Women and The Change!  (And men love it, too.)
