Men Are From Mars Women Are From Venus

This one-man fusion of theatre and stand-up is based on the New York Times #1 best-selling book of the last decade by John Gray.

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.

We were not sure what to expect, however once we arrived we realized that it was a monologue, yes I know a lot of people may think that a monologue can be boring, however a good monologue can be great!!!! This one was very good, entertaining and although he was loosing his voice by the end of it, he held on. At the venue, all staff could not be nicer, and friendlier, it is nice to see familiar faces.

They was a great show with an awesome presenter. I've been dropping clues since last year that I wanted to see this show, when my husband didn't purchase tickets I just bought them myself and dragged him along. My husband didn't realize how much he was going to like it. I would definitely recommend this show to anyone, especially with a sense of humor!

It was a one man show. I was expecting exchanges between a male and a female at the least.

I attended this show with my husband along with my mom and her boyfriend. We all thought the show was excellent. We were not sure what to expect from the show, but it certainly made us laugh and learn. We would definitely recommended the show when it comes back.

The performance was wonderful! Sometimes you feel like you don t get your money s worth, but this show was worth it. The comedian was funny, sensitive, knowledgeable, and the addition of the video from the author John Gray was fantastic. This show is not to be missed! I am going again!

This is not a comedy or funny. Its like attending a seminar about relationships. Not what I/we expected

This show either didn't get enough publicity or people just didn't know what to expect because the theater was half empty. It shouldn't have been. This was fun and entertaining and informative too. I went with a friend but this would be really good to see with your spouse or partner.

This one man show was handled very very well. With wit and great storytelling, we both could relate to everything said. And we learned something!

Thrilled we decided to attend at the last minute. Laughing at the interactions of men and women - while learning a bit about how to better interact.

Looking for a comedy, ended up with a couple's therapy session. This was about an hour and a half too long as well. Not a great show and the description is a little misleading

Worst Show I have seen in Years. Wasn't worth my time and certainly not the money we paid for tickets. This show was so BAD we left at intermission. Should have left sooner as I saw several folk.s do. I was suckered in by the title - Now I know why it was a one day engagement - word of mouth would have shut the show down!

The act material was interesting and dead-on when it comes to the differences between men and women! However, the comedian, Matt Iseman was awkward and treated the show more as acting than comedy. Even his quote, "I love this character" demonstrates that he sees this as a venue for acting rather than comedy. It is hard to describe, but the way he came out on stage, went to intermission, and even ended the show were quite awkward and borderline uncomfortable. It never delivered. The book is a great jumping off point to do something like this, but they have the wrong comedian and the wrong approach. It seemed long, though it wasn't. And the comedian was over-acting and playing up each point way too much, bordering on preachy at times. I would recommend passing on this show!

Matt Iseman does a fantastic job of "explaining" the difference between men's and women's communication! The "conference" is funny, relevant to today's society, and makes you go away thinking.

OK performance, nothing special. Subject matter could have been a lot funnier, but the presentation left a little to be desired.

It was good in it's own right and if you were looking for a marriage or relationship seminar. We were thinking it was going to be more of just a comedy show with multiple couples. More like menopause. It was not like that at all just one guy talking about how men and women are different and what we can do to understand each other and get along better.

I by no means wish to be a harsh critic of the show, since the performer seemed to be doing his best to put on his well rehearsed, often performed one man "comedy" show. I didn't like it and I couldn't relate. As I sat through the show, I kept thinking I must be from an alternate planet. It was a good night out only because of the venue.

NJ PAC is so much easier to navigate than the Prudential Center. This show was funny and entertaining, with a bit of learning on the side. I wasn't sure what to expect; however, it was a very fun date.

WAS NOT AS FUNNY AS WE HAD HOPED. THE SHORT VIDEO'S WERE BETTER THAN THE PERFORMER. MAYBE 2 PARTS THAT WERE ACTUALLY LAUGH OUT LOUD FUNNY. LOTS OF MAN BASHING AND HIM TALKING ABOUT BODY FUNCTIONS THAT HAD NO RELEVANCE TO THE SHOW.... WAS DISAPPOINTED.

I thought this would be a sketch show along the lines of "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" - with a nod towards the original book. Instead it was a one man show that tried to be funny (and a little crude) while giving relationship advice. A chuckle at times, but mostly cringe worthy. Not recommended unless you really love John Gray.

The show was quite an undertaking for one person but he had us laughing and nodding our heads through the whole show. He taught us great marital lessons with humor and song. The conversation on the way home revolved around how insightful he was and so talented to open us up to the truths that exist in our marriages and relationships with the opposite sex!!

My husband and I enjoyed many laughable moments when the quips were so obviously on the money. The actor was relaxed, expressive, and interactive with the audience. We would def recommend to couples, not singles so much.

Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus had a lot of good laughs. it was presented in a humorous light, but had some good information on how men and women communicate differently and what we can do to bridge the gap with that communication.

Thought this might be a couple doing the man vs woman nuances and such, but alas it was a solo performance by a male. His dialogue moved nicely with some funny references throughout and the use of Dr. Gray videos at times leant credence to the subject matter. An enjoyable light hearted evening of theater and entertainment without having to utilize profanity or nudity to make the message crystal clear.

for 1.5 hrs I listened to a guy talk about nothing and it seemed he was trying to be funny, but was NOT, after intermission....the last 30 minutes were pretty good. I even took notes on the info given. but you are better off getting the book or listening to youtube videos from the author, one man show, may have been better with multiple people talking.

This was horrible. This wasn't a dialogue play. This was a 'one man' play that copied the speaker that does Love languages. I left during intermission and didn't care about arguing the fact that the advertising card is false leading. That one speaker made $50 plus tax from online order from each couple. What a rip off. I went Saturday at 4 and it was about 15-20 people total. The show was not what I expected. Oh not the show, the speaker. It was NO show!!!
