I've seen it three times here in DC...it's hysterical. And it's fun, because they change the jokes up every once in awhile to go with current events. Plus, the audience participation makes for easy improvs for the cast.

Thanks for the link. :)

I have ushered for it 5 times when it was here in Atlanta. They changed up the lines and jokes pretty much everyday, so it was fun everytime.

I've seen it twice, once in Boston and once in DC. In DC, I went with school and they mentioned our school during the show. It was cool. It's such a funny, awesome show.

i hope too! my roomate raves about it!
"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

Wow - I saw this when my 8th grade class went to Washington DC...almost 8 years ago. Thought it was hilarious!

I saw it in Chicago several years ago and had a great time! I'll go see it again in a minute if it opens again there.

I was in the San Diego company of the show. One of my all time favorite shows to be in! We would have company meetings every few days to update all the jokes.

I know that, when I was doing it, the only productions were the "official" Shear Madness productions. But, there was talk of opening up the rights. Don't know if that has happened yet or not.

I was late getting around to seeing this. A production just opened in my area and one of the papers I write for sent me to interview the director and the star a few days before the opening. This production was in a dinner theatre and it seemed a perfect venue for it. It was very funny and the audience clearly loved it.

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!

I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

I saw it in Boston...I dunno if I really liked it as much as people think here. It was funny though and I liked the audience interaction. I dunno about the other theaters, but the one in Boston was tiny! I was sitting right on the side @ the table near the little reception desk.

I love the show. It has no ad libs, by the way. Every single situation has been scripted. There are a list of things the actors can pull from, in the script. Every situation has happened, and a line has been written for it.
And enjoy the beauty - all the joy and beauty - that a Merry Christmas can bring to you!
