Shear Madness @ Kennedy Center

Shaan and I saw this whodunit comedy last night. It's the longest-running play in American theater, but the script is constantly updated to make the show current. Last night, for instance, the actors were making cracks at Kanye West and Joe Wilson's "You Lie" outburst. The show is set in a wacky hair salon, where a famous concert pianist is murdered in the apartment upstairs. Audience members get to interrogate the actors as the cops retrace the suspects' steps. Then the audience actually gets to choose which actor committed the crime.

Tickets are only $42, and it's worth it. There aren't any choice restaurant options in the immediate area, so either eat at home before hand, or leave plenty of time eat in nearby Georgetown.
