Rob Lowe: STORIES I ONLY TELL MY FRIENDS LIVE! Comes to Aronoff Center  Image

Following his hit debut run in Mesa, Salt Lake City, and Denver in 2017, Rob Lowe is taking his one-man show, Stories I Only Tell My Friends LIVE!, on a national tour, making a much-anticipated stop at the Aronoff Center's Procter & Gamble Hall on June 1, 2019 at 8:00 PM. The show is part of the Cincinnati Arts Association's 2018-19 Season.

Tickets go on sale Friday, March 22 at 10:00 AM at www.CincinnatiArts.org, (513) 621-ARTS [2787], and the Aronoff Center Ticket Office. A Rob Lowe: Stories I Only Tell My Friends Live! Meet & Greet Package is available for $250 and includes one premium ticket, a post-show meet & greet, professional photo with Rob Lowe, and a signed copy of the Stories I Only Tell My Friends book. No personal photos on personal phones or cameras will be permitted.

Inspired by the success of his two New York Times best-selling memoirs, Stories I Only Tell My Friends and Love Life, Rob has created an all-new peek behind the curtain at Hollywood, fame, fatherhood, marriage, and a life lived at the forefront of culture for four decades. Broadway World calls Lowe "As personable and charismatic of a presence onstage as he is onscreen."

From the Brat Pack to The West Wing to Parks and Rec and beyond, Stories I Only Tell My Friends LIVE! is packed with witty fun and one-of-a-kind insights spanning an iconic career. Broadway World raves "The humor is first class, with the jokes and funny anecdotes keeping the audience in stitches for most of the night." In addition to Rob's storytelling, the show will include a Q&A and plenty of insider film clips and photos. "This isn't a regurgitation of the books, because that wouldn't be very much fun," Lowe says. "This is very much its own beast, but it does have some of the same feel of the books."

Lowe released his memoir, Stories I Only Tell My Friends, in 2011. The book was an instant hit, spending consecutive weeks in the top four of The New York Times best sellers and making it onto GQ's "Best of 2011" book list. Lowe's second book, Love Life, was published in 2014 and also landed a spot on The New York Times best-seller list. "I decided to put what would be the third book into a show where I could go out directly to an audience and share and have an exchange with them directly," he says. "Frankly, I love meeting people, being out in front of them, hearing their comments. It's really fun," says Lowe.


Rob Lowe's iconic career spans four decades in film, television, and theater. He is also an acclaimed author. Rob has been nominated for two Emmys, six Golden Globes, and four Screen Actors Guild Awards, of which he won two. He has starred in the '80s classics St. Elmo's Fire, About Last Night, and The Outsiders, as well as television classics such as The West Wing and Parks and Recreation. Rob's incredibly diverse career also includes scene-stealing work in Behind the Candelabra, Austin Powers, and Tommy Boy. Rob just wrapped Christmas in the Wild for Netflix with Kristen Davis and was recently seen in and directed a remake of the four-time Academy Award-nominated film, The Bad Seed. Most recently, FOX announced that Rob is the host and producer of Mental Samurai, the thrilling new competition series and first-ever obstacle course for the mind that will air during the 2018-2019 season. He is also currently in London shooting ITV's Wild Bill, in which he will play high-flying US cop, Bill Hixon, who is appointed Chief Constable of the East Lincolnshire Police Force in the six-part series.

Lowe has been married to designer, Sheryl Lowe, since 1991. They have two sons, Matthew and Johnowen, who attend Loyola Law School and Stanford University, respectively.
