Men Are From Mars – Women Are From Venus LIVE!

Sat, Apr 14, 2018 - 4:00PM
Sat, Apr 14, 2018 - 7:30PM
Tickets: $58
The Off-Broadway hit comedy Men Are From Mars – Women Are From Venus LIVE! is a one-man fusion of theatre and stand-up, and is a light-hearted theatrical comedy 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. This hysterical show will have couples elbowing each other all evening as they see themselves on stage. Sexy and fast-paced, this show is definitely for adults, but will leave audiences laughing and giggling like little kids!
When Mars and Venus collide, the adventures are earth-shatteringly hysterical. It's a great recipe for a date night out: a little storytelling blended with some comedy and a dash of sage wisdom from the book. A delicious evening of entertainment!

But this story is more than a historical account of an unprecedented scientific discovery - the story of Ada & Babbage is one filled with unrequited love, forbidden poetry, and the consequences of English high society’s extreme pressures.

Brahms & Beethoven in Corbett TowerApril 13, 7:30pm, Music Hall - Corbett Tower
Brahms and Beethoven in Corbett Tower, presented by CSO Chamber Players. In 2017-18, the CSO begins a 3-year cycle exploring the genius within Beethoven’s symphonies—but not all of the composer’s masterpieces are writ large. The third and final of Beethoven’s Razumovsky String Quartets is a stunningly radiant work, featuring a heroic finale—a fine addition to the CSO’s Beethoven Revolution. Listen also for Brahms’ contemplative and bucolic Horn Trio, the opening theme of which struck the composer during a walk through the woods. Poulenc’s Trio, dedicated to composer Manuel de Falla, is a bright and joyful beginning to the program.

Prokofiev + Beethoven
Saturday, April 14, 8:00pm
Sunday, April 15, 4:00pm
Springer Auditorium, Music Hall
We continue to glimpse Beethoven’s influence on the future of music through the prism of this multi-year symphony cycle. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4, a work of infectious joy, will get a modern-day response in a world premiere commission by Pierre Jalbert. Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 1 inspires the imagination of the listener, and features Karen Gomyo, a violinist of “real musical command, vitality, brilliance and intensity” (Chicago Tribune).
