Shear Madness at Westwego Performing Arts Theatre

For the first time ever, America’s longest-running non-musical comes to the New Orleans Metro Area!

It’s a day like any other at the Shear Madness salon, when suddenly, the lady upstairs gets knocked off. WHOdunit? Join the fun as the audience matches wits with the suspects to catch the killer at this wildly popular comedy that has audiences laughing around the world.

Shear Madness is one of the most popular productions in the world, delighting audiences night after night with its unique blend of madcap improvisation and spine-tickling mystery. It has been running for over 40 years in Boston and 35 years in Washington D.C.

Voted “Best Comedy of the Year” seven times by the Boston Globe and recipient of the title “Best Play of the Year” by both the Chicago Sun-Times and the Philadelphia Enquirer, Shear Madness has also received the Raven Award from the Mystery Writers of America and has been inducted into the Comedy Hall of Fame, the first play ever to receive that accolade.
