    I have attended twice. It was alot of fun especially when the Blue Man Group takes aim with various substances into the audience. You may get wet if you are close to the stage. Great music (0:

    One of my favorite places in Boston. Free karaoke every Friday nights, and DJ Jimmy Ice is GREAT. If you get there early enough you can get up multiple times. Read more

    On Friday nights from 10-2 the playhouse hosts Boston's best karaoke night. I for one miss some of the grit before they renovated.

    Went to Shear Madness and LOVED LOVED LOVED it!!! I had read about it having audience participation waited for something to happen and BANG all of a sudden we were "murder witness engaged".

    Went to see Shear Madness with my wife for her birthday. I'm not into "shows" per se. That said, this is not your ordinary show. The cast is very talented, and very funny.

    If you're in the front, you'll want the pancho they're offering you. Come early for a laugh from the scrolling light bar.

    In line at the bar before showtime. Shear Madness is on the play bill. Hilarity is anticipated.
