SHEAR MADNESS

This unique “whodunit” style immersive comedy takes place in the Shear Madness hairstyling salon and is chock full of up-to-the-minute spontaneous humor. A murder is committed and the audience helps gather the clues, question the suspects, and solve the mad-cap mystery. This immersive comedy is different every night, and audiences return again and again to the scene of the crime. 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. With productions in over 40 countries in the world, including a long run in Korea, and a recent sell out hit in Shanghai, Shear Madness is definitely a show for audiences all over the world.
