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.

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.
