We were excited to go to this show as the reviews were so good. First off, wait to get your tickets at a Bostix while in Boston (half off the regular price). Our show was full of young teenage girls from a camp in PA. I am hoping the show was geared for them, It was so stupid and unprofessional.... more

This show was incredibly funny! The actors were fabulous, and the show entertaining and modern. The theatre is small and dingy, but it's so not important. The first half of the play is a set script, with the audience being involved in the second half. The ending of the play depends upon the audience's involvement, so I'm sure it's different... more

My husband, 17-year old daughter and myself all enjoyed this play! Husband and daughter were NOT excited when told about the play, but by the end of the evening they were most amused. It was one of our favorites. more

Usually you go to a small play, and it's the same bore- WOW, not this. Pop Culture keeps this play extremely fresh and you will not stop laughing until the end. (arrive a few minutes early, because there is a scene with Tony and hair conditioner that will have you in tears that is actually done as they are setting... more

You will laugh and laugh hard. It's a very interesting play where the audience interacts with the cast. The place is a little on the cozy size (tight) but not too tight. You do want to get your tickets early to get up close. We did and were very happy about that. Entering the place is a little weird but... more

SO GOOD!

What a great night of entertainment, coupled with a bit of improv that kept us laughtng until the end. Be prepared to notice small details as the play unfolds. You will find out why later on. Also, the price for ths show is quite reasonable. Here is a tip: if you are anywhere near the Fanueil Hall Bostix location, you... more

My wife and son and I were wondering what to do on our last night in Boston and took the recommendation of the Park Plaza concierge and got tickets to see Shear Madness. I was expecting an OK show (for $34.00) but certaintly did not think it would be one of the best pieces of theatre I have seen in... more

I just came back from seeing Shear Madness with my family and friends. All of us have not laughed this much in years. The show is based in a barber shop/ hair salon and we had to figure out who murdered the land lady who rents to them. It was a great interactive show which got us all involved. We... more
