Playbill.com has a list of shows playing in regional theaters.

SEE MAMA MIA! I'm from Boston and I NEVER see touring shows however, we were supposed to see a concert that got cancelled so we decided to do student rush to Mama Mia...it was SO GOOD. It's at the Colonial until the 27th I think and if you're a student they have $25 (or 35 I don't really remember) rush seats.

I've got 4 or 5 listings for Boston on my web site although Playbill probably has more.

SHEER MADNESS. It's an audience participation improv comedy show. I've never seen it (always wanted to). It is supposedly hilarious. It's been playing in Boston for a VERY long time (at the Charles Street Playhouse, I believe...same place as BLUE MAN GROUP).

Since you're going to be in the area, here is a shameless plug for my theater company's show. We're doing ONCE ON THIS ISLAND at the Boston Center for the Arts theater on Tremont Street. August 19-21, $8.00 for students, $10.00 for adults.

I own a theatre company for college students. We put together the show completely on our own (direct, music direct, costume/set design, etc.) If you're looking for a good cheap show, I recommend it! PM me if you want more info.

I saw SHEAR MADNESS when I was in Boston ttwo years ago. It's a hilarious comedy with a certain amount of audience participation. Yes, it's in the the same theater complex as Blue
Man Group at the Charles Street Playhouse.

You'll love SHEAR MADNESS.

it's still funny after all this time and in a little theater...very homey and comfortable. It's always great and it's an evening of very light entertainment with a local cast.
