Do you enjoy reading Agatha Christie's mystery novels? Are you a huge fan of the animated series Detective Conan and Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock? Then Shear Madness is for you. Since opening in Boston in 1980, it has held the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest-running show in American history. In Korea, it has topped the theater booking website every year since its first performance in 2022.
The beauty of Shear Madness is its immersion. It's called "immersive theatre," where the audience is not just on stage for a short time but is leading the play with the actors.
One day, a murder takes place upstairs in the Shear Madness beauty salon. The detective, who is undercover as a customer, suspects that the killer is one of the four people in the salon. But he can't figure it out on his own. Like Watson, Sherlock Holmes' best friend, the audience interrogates the characters in the play as the detective's partner. The culprit is also "chosen" from those who receive the most votes from the audience. Of course, this is a comedy genre, consisting of gags and slapstick, and the ending changes every time, depending on the audience's choice. You may get different impressions depending on who is to blame, so you can't help but want to see it again.
