We have heard of Boston's Shear Madness since last year. It is the longest running comedy in the United States. It started even before I was born! Yes, back in 1980.
The comedy revolves around the murder of a famous pianist, who lives above a hair salon on Newbury Street in Boston. A detective investigates the case by questioning the staff and customers of the salon. And for 29 years, Shear Madness attracted 8 million audiences with its everyday-is-different ending. So who is the murderer? Up to you to vote. They play according to how the audience like it, based on the votes they cast. So, depending on the audience, the murderer and jokes stay different and unique. =)
After hearing so much about Shear Madness, how could we miss it? We got Ming and Leah to go as well. Ming and Leah love it. As natives, they totally understood the jokes. Daniel and I managed only some of the, erm, adult jokes.
It was a brilliant 2 hours spent! To top it up, we got the tickets at half-price. What a hilarious way to spend the weekend! Woohoo!
P/S: One of the actors came and chatted with us. He was thrilled when he found out that we are from Singapore. So he did a fact check: Is it true that no gums is allowed in Singapore and that we cane criminals? We nodded coyly and he added that Michael Fay, the American teenager who infamous vandalized many cars in Singapore back in the 90s totally deserved the caning!
