We were at the show celebrating my birthday. We had good seats, but the acoustic was very poor. You need to fix this issue, I understand that it has been going on for a long time.
From the moment the "Stage Crew" comes out and interacts with the audience, under the guise of putting the last pieces in place before the start of the show, "The Play That Goes Wrong" is off and running on a whirlwind tour of everything that can go wrong, albeit greatly exaggerated, with a production. There is not a weak performance in this cast. Each member gets their chance to stand out and they take full advantage of the opportunity. Even the scenery gets in on the act, culminating with literally bringing down the house in the final scene.
Hilarious! Laughed a lot. Glad that I was able to see the show. The tickets were a gift; otherwise, not having been familiar with the show, I might not have bothered to purchase tickets on my own.
Even before the start of the show, the cast begins to engage the audience in what proves to be the baseline plot of the entire evening. One slapstick event after another with a "who done it?" story line creates an enjoyable evening of laughs. Well done!
English play using English humor. A lot of physical comedy. If this is your thing you will love it. It could not have been done better
Unfairly, we saw this play in London a few years ago and hurt ourselves laughing. Impossible not to compare, but the Grady Gammage version was, in a word, "disappointing". Still some good laughs, for fairness, but the lack of comedic timing by the cast or the director was so extreme that I was embarrassed to have brought my guests to the event. The most frequent shortcoming was their not knowing when to stop their pauses for effect, with the result that they drug out nearly every time.
This was the funniest play I have ever seen. It was 2 hours of non-stop laughter. Something else that made it even better was the hearing assist device that the theater made available for use with my own earphones. That was wonderful and it allowed me to hear and understand virtually 100% of the dialogue.
Since we had no idea what the play was about, we were pleased that is was so funny. It had overtones of Monty Python and the actors seemed to truly enjoy themselves. Delightful to watch
I have seen NOISES OFF which at the time I thought was the funniest play ever. No longer. This play is hysterical and is fun from beginning to end. When and if it returns we will see it again
The entire audience was cracking up right from the get go. It was the funniest thing we had ever seen. Fantastic!
The theatre itself was very nice. However, the show was itter stupidity! We actually left about 10 minutes into the second half because the show was just a bunch of poorly acted slapstick that only a grade school chold would have found funny.
The play was fabulous. Non-stop laughs, intelligent humor, not all pratfalls. No coarse language so everyone will enjoy it. I am going back to see it the next time it is at Gammage or Orpheum. Genius actors. Ned Noyes was brilliant.
Don't go expecting a Broadway musical production, but this play is off the charts! My wife laughed so hard she was crying. I gave her the option of going to a comedy club or this play. We laughed harder at this show than we would have at the club. Kudos to all of the actors.
Awesome show. Side splitting funny. Laughed while show. Would totally go again
We pretty much laughed non-stop through the entire performance. It was great entertainment.
Couldn’t stop laughing great show. Timing was amazing!
We haven’t been to a play for a long time so we were in for a BIG surprise! It was nonstop laughter! What an enjoyable evening! I would definitely recommend seeing it!
I was not sure at first how it would be based on description but it was a really good show with laughter from beginning to end. I'm glad we went.
Oh man, this show is so funny. I don’t think my anyone in my family, including me, has ever laughed so much, for so long, for one single event. I would highly recommend that anyone considering this show see it, I doubt you’ll regret it!!
The pre-play antics were the perfect way to start the evening. The play never lacked for excitement and much laughter. Considering seeing again as it is the best play I’ve ever seen. Kudos to that write and of course the producer who brought it all together. Richard & Lee
