A fun and upbeat experience cross between improv, dinner theatre, and a play. A nice alternative to standard theatre performances. The audience participation was a lot of fun and the cast were very engaging. Every performance is a different experience!Written on Jan 15 2007

In regards to some of the comments - yes, the theatre isn't the Wang, but it's perfect for the show. It's a little basement theatre set up like a cafe with little tables and chairs for the guests. There is a bar, so you can have cocktails during the show. But the theater itself is no frills.Written on Sep 10 2009
In regards to the performance - it was great! The cast looked like they were having fun, the audience was definitley having fun and it keeps everyone engaged throughout the show. As someone who lives in Boston, I liked that they made local references that were very very funny. Although out of towners might not get it - it doesn't detract from the show either.
Something for everyone! GREAT GREAT show!

Description
Voted "Best Comedy of the Year" seven times by the Boston Globe and recipient of the title "Best Play of the Year" by both the Chicago Sun-Times and the Philadelphia Enquirer, "Shear Madness" has also received the Raven Award from the Mystery Writers of America and has been inducted into the Comedy Hall of Fame, the first play ever to receive that accolade. Shear Madness is listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the longest running play in the history of the USA.
The flagship Boston company has given birth to 42 productions in the U.S. and Shear Madness has been translated into 10 foreign languages, playing worldwide in a host of cities including Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Madrid, Paris, Rejkavik, Rome, Tel Aviv, Melbourne, Johannesburg and Seoul.
Over 9.6 million people worldwide have joined in the fun, and while no one has actually died laughing, some are still rolling in the aisles.
About the Ticket Supplier: Shear Madness
Now in its 29th year, the flagship Shear Madness production opened in Boston back in January 1980, and is still going strong! Having been performed over 10,000 times, Shear Madness holds the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest-running play in the history of the American theatre. Shear Madness may be marking its 10,000th performance but the whodunit has stayed in great shape, retaining the body, bounce and shine of its debut nearly 24 years ago. Part of the success is due to the mix of exhilarating audience sleuthing and up-to-the-minute improvisational humor that guarantees a different show every night. The cast mines the newspapers daily for timely nuggets for the script. The Wall Street Journal calls Shear Madness, "One of the great successes in theatre history." Shear Madness is performed eight times a week.
