Dallas Welcomes the Return of the Longest Running Broadway Solo
Comedy in History for One Final Time! (And Now, the Most Popular
Comedy Performance of All Time) DALLAS, Sept. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- A
peacemaker in the ongoing misunderstandings between men and women,
Rob Becker's wildly popular DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN originally opened
in San Francisco in June 1991 soon moving to Dallas for a full year
run. An unqualified hit, CAVEMAN went on to extended sold-out
engagements in Washington DC, Philadelphia, and Chicago before
opening on Broadway in March 1995. After running for 2 1/2 years
and 702 performances at the Helen Hayes Theater, CAVEMAN entered
the record books as the longest-running solo play in Broadway
history. Becker's hilariously insightful play about the ways men
and women relate has both sexes roaring with laughter and
recognition. Lots of affectionate nudging goes on during the
performance and couples are commonly seen strolling out into the
night holding hands. Becker also has a loyal following in the
therapy community, having been seen and recommended by thousands of
psychologists and counselors. In 1996 Becker was invited to the
annual AAMFT (American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy)
Convention in Toronto where he performed for over 2,000 therapists.
CAVEMAN is an international hit as well with productions in London,
South Africa, Iceland, Germany, Israel, and many more, and in 1999,
Rob Becker received the coveted Olivier Award in London for comedic
playwriting. After 14 years, over 3 million people, and over 6000
performances in over 100 U.S. cities, CAVEMAN is returning to
Dallas one last time. Also, Becker continues to work on his sequel
to Caveman, CAVEDAD, about how men and women parent differently.
With humorous insights on contemporary feminism, and masculine
sensitivity, gender guru Becker has found a way to mine the
commonplaces of relationships that goes straight to the funny bone!
ROB BECKER'S DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN returns to Dallas with
perceptive and hilarious findings, offering hope for "a happily
ever after" future! "CAVEMAN show a primal scream!" -- Toronto Star
"Surprisingly sweet! His affection for women and light-hearted
defense of men makes Caveman a winner for both sexes."
Chicago-Sun-Times "Hysterically funny! Becker made me laugh until I
had tears rolling down my cheeks." -- Variety ROB BECKER'S
