Rob Becker's Broadway hit Defending The Caveman is about the ways men and women relate to each other. Without taking sides, this insightful comedy discusses the ongoing battle for understanding between the sexes. With hysterical observations into contemporary feminism, masculine sensitivity and the erogenous zones, Caveman mines the common themes in relationships that go straight through the funny bone and into the heart.

We liked the play. We got there 2 hours in advance to get choicer tickets only to find they had already been assigned. (Not what was adertised. ) If I had known, I would have just gone to the box office once — at showtime.

The first half dragged a little, but the second half of the show picked up a bit. Some of male/female differences portrayed by his jokes were unsurprisingly trite. I smiled a little during the second half, but the show itself was not worth the cost, albeit reduced.
