FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
“DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN” SETTLES IN PERMANENT CAVE AT EXCALIBUR
New Show Times Begin May 11, 2009
LAS VEGAS – April 20, 2009 – “Defending the Caveman,” Broadway’s smash hit about the sexes, began a permanent performance schedule at Excalibur Hotel Casino January 13. “Defending the Caveman” performances take place at 4 p.m. daily with additional performances at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. “Defending the Caveman” has experienced tremendous success in Las Vegas, racking-up an impressive 700 performances since its Las Vegas debut in June 2007.
“We are thrilled “Defending the Caveman” will remain at our property,” said Renee West, president and COO of Excalibur. “We’re confident our guests, like the millions who have already seen the show, will relate to the show’s universal themes and humor.”
“Defending the Caveman” is a hilariously insightful play about the ways men and
women relate. It offers side-splitting opinions on contemporary feminism, masculine sensitivity, and the erogenous zone. The longest running solo play in Broadway history, “Defending the Caveman” originally opened in San Francisco in 1991 and moved to Broadway in 1995. Since its debut, “Defending the Caveman” has been seen by more than eight million people worldwide and continues to grow in popularity.
Comedian Kevin Burke stars in the Las Vegas run of “Defending the Caveman.” A seasoned comedic stage actor, playwright and director, Burke has starred in the Broadway tour of “Defending the Caveman” since 2003 and will continue to charm audiences during the stay at Excalibur.
