I laughed so hard that I could not breath at one point! Great acting, great timing, and great fun.
So funny. Well scripted and well performed. Will definitely see it again.
funny - sometimes hokey - easy play to understand without knowing much before
A great show. We were laughing from start to finish. Awesome time. Can’t wait to see it again.
My date and I actually loved this production. Very enjoyable from start to finish.
The show was fantastic! I wanted a laughter filled night and that’s what we got.
laughing. This is the best comedy I have ever seen. I continued laughing for two days after the play ended. Just go see it. You will not regret it!
The Play that Goes Wrong was hilarious. We laughed so hard. Great show.
Funniest show ever. Laughed out loud from start to finish. Superb cast!
I thought the play was hilarious and so did the friend that attended with me. The whole audience was laughing out loud. The actors were excellent and I thought the staging was fabulous and must have been very difficult and complex to accomplish.
The play that goes wrong was hilarious. I laughed so hard I cried and I think I snorted a time or two. The actors were all very good. I could see this play again and laugh just as much.
I was delighted by the show. There was incessant good natured humor at no ones expense. It was as charming as it was funny. A rare experience these days in the theatre. I even returned the second night with my 14 year old son who said the show was “hilarious, well worth the trip”.
Very good production. We had a great time. I definitely recommend this show. The audience got to participate. Very funny.
Absolutely loved this play. I laughed throughout and it was so good that they received a standing ovation!!!
If you want to laugh until you almost pee, this is the show for you. And if you can, get seats either on the floor or the first balcony, so you can catch the bits that happen before the show actually starts, too. But if you end up sitting in the cheap seats, like we did, you'll still enjoy it because the comedy isn't exactly subtle. Don't miss this show. And it's appropriate for kids (we took a 9YO boy, who loved it.) For a taste of what it's like, look for "Peter Pan Goes Wrong" from the BBC on Youtube. If you like that, you'll love this too. Best of the cast is Ned Noyes, who plays Cecil/Arthur. Everything he does is a gem.
Seriously, this is the best play I have ever seen. Tremendous performance by the actors! I laughed for 2 hours straight! Must see!
Farce is hard to play. Amateurs rarely get it right. Seasoned, talented, disciplined professionals know it is hard work. And the National Touring Company of The Play That Goes Wrong gets it all right, every grimace, pratfall, humiliation, and surprise. What a joy to see this fine ensemble, so very well directed, at work and at play. The audience never stopped laughing because the actors never for a moment let go of their to-the-bone silliness, and the standing ovation, which can sometimes seem obligatory on the road, a show of gratitude for any form of manna in the wilderness, was spontaneous and full-throated. Bravo, tutti.
This is the best play I have seen in awhile. I don't think I stopped laughing or smiling.
The Play That Goes Wrong (Touring) is basically a play that has just about every possible aspect of the production go comically wrong. That's a subtle trick; it's very easy to fall into cliches or to have the play simply seem to be performed poorly. Although some of it was very predictable as traditional British comedy bits (reminiscent of Faulty Towers), the show held more than a few surprises and was performed flawlessly with great precision. That precision was a necessity given how many parts of the set could otherwise have caused the actors real harm -- it's a much more physically demanding play for the actors than one might have expected. In any case, mostly it was a lot of fun, and it fit the Opera House venue really well; I don't think it would work as well in a larger or less-traditional-looking venue. Strongly recommended.
We weren’t sure what to expect, but from the minute it started we knew we were in for a great evening. The cast was spot on and their timing was perfect. There was non-stop fun and surprises throughout. So glad we went and definitely would recommend!!
