Sheen coming to Cleveland

Staff report

CLEVELAND

Charlie Sheen has added a Cleveland show to his My Violent Torpedo of Truth/ Defeat is Not an Option tour.

The former “Two and a Half Men” star, who has become known for his wild rants against the show’s producers, will be at the State Theatre, Euclid Avenue, downtown, at 8 p.m. April 5.

Tickets are $49.50 and $79.50 and go on sale at 11 a.m. today at playhousesquare.org or by calling the box office at 866-546-1353.

The first two shows, at theaters in Detroit and Chicago, sold out in minutes. Sheen announced the shows last week to his more than 2 million Twitter followers, calling it “the REAL story.”

The 45-year-old actor was fired March 7 from the hit CBS show “Two and a Half Men.” He then sued the show’s producers for $100 million for breach of contract.

In addition to the Cleveland show, Sheen this week announced shows in four other cities: Columbus, New York, Boston and Wallingford, Conn. One dollar from each ticket will be donated to the Japanese Earthquake Relief Fund.

Sheen’s show is for mature audiences, 18 and over.

In his announcement, Sheen wrote: “My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not An Option Show is coming for you. I’m going on the road. LIVE. Will there be surprises? Will there be guests? Will there be mayhem? Will you ask questions? Will you laugh? Will you scream? Will you know the truth? WILL THERE BE MORE?!?! This IS where you will hear the REAL story from the Warlock. Bring it. I dare you to keep up with me.”
