An old lady has been murdered in her apartment above a hair salon, and it's your job to find her killer! Bursting with boundless energy and an incredibly adept cast of improvising, larger-than-life characters, Shear Madness takes audience participation to a whole new level. Sifting through the clues, you decide which twists and turns the show takes. It's a different experience every single night.

An American theatre institution, Shear Madness is the longest running non-musical show in American history. It's been running in Boston at the Charles Playhouse for over 30 years, and has enjoyed hugely successful productions the world over. Now it takes on New York for the first time ever. Prepare for a night of mad-cap improvisation, thrilling murder-mystery and audience participation all rolled into one hilarious caper!

What we thought

WINNER Fabulous success!

The "highlight" of my week and a blow out success!

It is fun, fast paced and every detail has been thought through. The actors are incredibly dynamic with hilarious one-liners that reference current affair, pop stars and poke fun at the audience.
