Shear Madness
旅行者の感想
Humor aimed at dim kids and adults
バブル評価 5 段階中 1.02024年3月
これほど多くの人がこれを素晴らしい劇だと思ったことに驚いています。私たちはユーモアが貧弱で、過度に不愉快で、実際には10歳の子供向けだと思いました。観客のほとんどは学生たちだったので、彼らがこれを好む理由はわかりますが、なぜ大人がこれを面白いと感じるのか理解できません。安っぽいステレオタイプ。大袈裟でしゃがんだ男性のヘアスタイリストが、カミソリで乱暴に身振りをしているクライアントの首を切りそうになるところだった。 もちろん、ユーモアは個人的なものであり、私たちは大人のユーモアを好む傾向があります。リッキー・ジャーヴェイス、サラ・ミリカン、ファーン・ブレイディ、ジミー・カー、ジョン・オリバー、ケイティ・ボイル、リズ・ミーレ、ワンダ・サイクスのような知的なコメディアンが好きなら、おそらくこの番組は気に入らないでしょう。これは、すぐにアクセスできるダジャレ、二重の意図、そして現在の政治への言及が散りばめられているのが好きな人向けです。私がこのレビューを書いているのは、この知識があればもっと良い番組を選ぶことができたかったからです。 この番組を見て、私はかつて見たスタンドアップコメディアンが政治について話し、人々に本当に考えさせていたことを思い出しました。部屋の片側が彼を満足させるほど笑っていなかったとき、彼は「部屋のこちら側がこれを理解していなくても、心配しないでください、私があなたのためにたくさんのおならジョークをします。」と言いました。これは、おならのジョークしか受け取らないが、おならのジョークが 1 つもなかった人向けです。

I'm astonished that so many people thought this was a great play. We thought the humor was poor, over the top campy, really intended for 10 year olds. Most of the audience were schoolkids and I can see why they would like it, I don't understand why adults would find this funny. Cheap stereotypes, with the exaggerated swishy male hairstylist so ADD he nearly decapitates his client wildly gesticulating with a razor.

Humor is personal of course, and we tend to like adult humor.If you like intelligent comedians like Ricky Gervais, Sarah Millican, Fern Brady, Jimmy Carr, John Oliver, Katie Boyle, Liz Miele, Wanda Sykes, then you probably won't like this show. This is for people who like quick accessible puns, double entendres, and references to current politics sprinkled in. I am writing this review because i wish we had this knowledge so we could have picked a better show.

The show reminded me of a comedian doing standup we once saw who was talking about politics and really making people think. When one side of the room wasn't laughing hard enough to please him he said "if this side of the room isn't getting this, don't worry, I'll do a bunch of fart jokes for you." This show is for people who only get fart jokes, and yet did not have a single fart joke.

Shear Madness was a very fun interactive whodunit comedy. The theater is intimate, located upstairs at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. If you are tired of all the walking and sightseeing during the day and want an evening off, this production is for you.
It's a fast moving production and very funny with a strong cast of improv actors.
Make sure you take the time to visit the free John F Kennedy exhibition on the same second floor level. Its a great way to spend time pre or post show.

This is what my daughter thought of this performance,

As a part of our DC tour, me and my fellow 7th and 8th graders were very excited about going to a play. Let me emphasize 7th and 8th graders! This play was VERY inappropriate even though we were led to believe that it was family friendly. The jokes and language used in this play even made our teachers uncomfortable. They made jokes that implied things and egged on kids to repeat swear words as part of an “investigation”.

When I got up to leave the investigator called me out yelling “Where are you going” and stared at me. I have anxiety and so when I was put on the spot I ran out of the theater crying. The rest of our class left during intermission.

I have never seen my teacher so stressed, probably because she always has a plan, but she didn’t think she’d have to take a class of kids from a supposedly family friendly show! We weren’t warned whatsoever about the contents of this play and I am flat out outraged that the cast and writers believe that it was okay to talk and act the way they did during this performance but mostly I’m just sad that I had to watch that. I would never recommend this play.

So bad… we left half way through. The reviews do not depict how bad this show is. Save you money and choose a different show.

Such a fun evening! Your experience likely depends upon the crowd you see it with. We had a great crowd, willing to interact with the cast. The actors are great, so quick with the improv, and really seem to be enjoying themselves. I went with my 3 adult children and we laughed so much! I saw it once before, 20 years ago or more, but they update references to make it contemporary (we attended the day the Chinese spy balloon was shot down and they made a joke that referenced it in a performance just a few hours later ….can’t get more timely than that!).

The theater is small which makes it feel quite personal. When the actors interact with the audience, it is unpredictable, and they handle it gracefully and entertainingly. There is a reason it’s still being performed after 35 years.

I was a school trip in DC. We all thought the play was going to be boring and we were gonna be on our phones throughout but it wasn’t. Best play I’ve ever been to. Amazing jokes and improv, audience interaction and other amazing things. Modern day jokes and jokes that made our teachers laugh. Overall amazing engaging . Would watch again.

Pleasantly surprised. Incredible play and the actors /actresses did amazing. Lots of humor, up to date "what's going on in the world" jabs, and audience interaction make this a must see Whodunit play!

I'm not sure if it was the choice of the playwright, the director, or the actor--but the result of the performance we saw was not only such an extreme caricature of a gay man to the point of homophobia, but also the use of sexual harassment and sexual assault for physical comedy. I truly laughed once within those two hours, and it was because of a 4 year old's commentary on the "investigation" at hand.

I appreciated the style of interaction with the audience, the set and costumes were lovely, Mrs. Shubert was well played and fun to watch-- Mr. Lawrence was at least a sexual predator meant to look bad for being such (peeking on his love interest, kissing her without consent, clear signs she doesn't want to be near him but he tries to follow her around anyway, threatening to flash another character as a joke, etc.), Tony probably gropes only 2 out of 3 men because the blocking does not bring him close enough to Mr. Lawrence to give him the option. He flirts excessively in inappropriate moments-- which after a while is no longer "silly and fun" as it is tasteless, and upon being interrogated for murder gets in the cop's face to kiss him on the mouth for laughs. It is in no way plot relevant and easily could have been improv, but it is excessive and ill advised. Normalizing harassment and sexual assault for humor is not a message I would want to give anybody, let alone kids, who very quickly became the apparent target audience for the $60/person show. A lot of entertainment from this period have plenty of points all over their scripts that did not age well, and Shear Madness seems to be among them. Do better.

This show is a ton of fun! The cast is so quick and witty, and the material is up to date with current affairs. The improv is impressive! Inviting the audience to participate makes the show unique and interactive. We have never attended a murder mystery type of show before, but we are actually looking forward to coming back to this one in a few months. We are planning to go a couple times each year as we know the material will change as do current events and as is the nature of improv. Can't wait to see it again!
