Defending The Caveman - Broadway Comedy
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! Defending the Caveman, the longest running solo play in Broadway history, is now a worldwide rock-solid tour de force that has won the hearts of millions in over 30 countries, and it's sure to win yours. A hilariously insightful play about the ways men and women relate, Caveman has both sexes roaring with laughter and recognition. Affectionate nudging between audience members will be seen during the performance as they recognize themselves in the stories being told on stage.
The “outrageously funny and surprisingly sweet exploration of the gender gap” (Chicago Sun Times) has made Defending the Caveman “a comic phenomenon.” (The New York Times)
