Longest Running?[edit]

How can Shear Madness possibly be the longest-running play in the world? Versus, say, Romeo and Juliet? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.223.225.20 (talk • contribs)

The statement means the longest continuously-running play; not the oldest. Shear Madness runs on a consistent schedule (daily, every weekend, whatever) at a variety of locations. Romeo and Juliet does not. Timneu22 (talk) 19:59, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Boston production is the longest continuously running *production* in American theater, having run now for 30 years, with more than 12,300 performances as of the summer of 2009. Acter (talk) 11:38, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would also argue that all productions count as "longest running," since to date almost all are produced and directed by the same company and personnel, namely Bruce Jordan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.217.69.155 (talk) 02:03, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

David Eastwood[edit]

The hyperlink for David Eastwood references the wrong person. The David Eastwood associated with Shear Madness was an American from upstate New York who founded the Lake George Dinner Theatre. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.217.69.155 (talk) 02:00, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rights information is incorrect[edit]

The article states "David Eastwood and Bruce Jordan acquired rights...". This is incorrect. Per the Shear Madness website, it was Marilyn Abrams and Bruce Jordan who acquired the world stage, screen and television rights to the play. https://www.shearmadness.com/studyGuide_04.php Acter (talk) 11:43, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

First I say to you, be bold! Second, I didn't see anything specifically about the rights to the play on that page. If you have a better reference, please feel free to make the change! Timneu22 (talk) 19:30, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
