Shear Madness – Honolulu’s Hilarious Whodunit!

Oahu

May 3 – 20: 
Shear Madness – Honolulu’s Hilarious Whodunit!
  Shear Madness is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest running play in the history of the USA and has enjoyed productions staged all over the world.  When the landlady who lives above a unisex hair salon is murdered, the audience gets involved in solving the crime by openly questioning the strange array of characters and attempting to solve the crime. All are suspect: the flamboyant hairdresser, the flirty yet ditzy assistant, the prim and proper uptight matron, and an older fellow who is a “used antique dealer”.  Much of the humor revolves around topical references to current events. It keeps every audience laughing as they try to outwit the suspects and catch the killer. New clues and up to the minute improvisation deliver a different show every night.  Manoa Valley Theatre, 2833 East Manoa Rd., Honolulu. Held on certain days.  For tickets, information, dates, and show times, call (808) 988-6131 or visit http://manoavalleytheatre.com/.
