The Play That Goes Wrong (Touring) Tickets

By far the funniest play I've ever seen! I laughed throughout the whole thing and wish I had the chance to see it again, or at least get a DVD of the performance. I was sceptical that I was going to like this play based on the commercials, but decided to go anyway with a group of friends. Best decision ever! Anyone who wants a good laugh needs to see this!

We laughed nonstop the whole time. The best live comedy I’ve ever seen!

My wife Vicky and I went and had a Great time with all the change ups and trying to figure out what some of the words they were using ! Would recommend this to everyone !!

I've seen many plays, and this is the first one that has made me uncontrollably laugh for two hours straight. Definitely go see!

We laughed from the moment the show started until the curtain fell. A superbly executed slapstick comedy. Simply delightful.

While watching “The Play That Goes Wrong” from the third row in the elegantly ornate Orpheum Theatre in downtown Memphis, TN, on a cold, slightly snowy Thursday night on Feb 6, 2020, I was reminded of my late dad’s boisterous laugh that would sonically fill even the largest of rooms, auditoriums, and theaters every single time he laughed. And he laughed every single day of his life while he was alive. He loved slapstick comedy—the sillier, the better. He would have absolutely loved this play with its over-the-top characters, exaggerated acting, countless pratfalls and sight gags, all-around silliness, and pure comedy timed to perfection. As I and the rest of the packed audience laughed uproariously throughout the entire show—which actually started the moment I stepped foot inside the theater’s front doors where I was greeted by a venue security guard looking through my purse for weapons and by an apparent cast member clad in 1920’s attire and a well-coifed mustache welcoming me into the theater with a loud, crisp British accent—I could hear my dad’s laughter again after years of silence since his unexpected death nearly three years ago. Perhaps that reminder to laugh is what this play’s best accomplishment is...for me at least. I took my mother to see it with me after a long year of medical issues and mobility struggles. She and I both laughed so much that it hurt our faces but warmed our hearts. And that much needed laughter combined with the sweet, prominent memories of my dad’s laugh helped heal parts of our broken hearts and inspired us to continue to find something to laugh about every day just as my dad had done. From a technical standpoint, this play was brilliantly precise in execution. Its manic brand of humor echoed Monty Python, “Mousetrap,” and the olden days of vaudeville in the style of comedia del arte, bringing to mind the off-Broadway play “Noises Off” that I had seen at least twice a couple of decades ago. With “Noises Off” being my personal standard for theatrical comedies, I had high expectations and hopes for “The Play That Goes Wrong.” And it did not disappoint! I highly recommend this play for anyone who needs or loves to laugh. And for those who are theater buffs or the engineering type like me, you will be both entertained and fascinated by the intricate prop mishaps, collapsing set pieces, gravity-defying stunts, the deliberate behind-the-scenes action, and how the made-for-disaster set became a character in and of itself. Additionally, the actors continuously break the fourth wall by engaging directly with the audience while feeding off of our energy and responses to them, thereby bringing us into their madhouse comedy of errors that somehow mirror the daily “disasters” we endure in our own lives. Sometimes all we can do in such moments when everything goes from wrong to worst is to sit back and just laugh. Employing a more positive, optimistic view of ourselves and our lives help us navigate the deeper, darker waters while keeping our heads above that same murky water. So kudos to the massive team that put this touring play together and serve it up as a reminder that, through perseverance, things eventually work out in the end despite dreadful, chaotic circumstances of inevitability. Everything around you might fall completely apart; but as long as you’re still standing in the end, you will be okay, for the show must go on. Comedy timed to perfection indeed!

Started laughing before the play started and I'm still laughing now. I was very pleasantly surprised by the complete hilarity of the show and the excellent presentation. If you have a sense of humor, go see this play.

I loved this play almost as much as my daughter who nearly laughed out of her seat. Yes, it is slapstick and very dependent on physical comedy. The timing was quite good. The staging was excellent (apparently no injuries in spite of the appearance of disaster.) In a world where life is all too real, we all need laughter like this, not sophisticated, just funny.

Very enjoyable and lots of laughs. Definitely, recommend.

I loved every minute of this show. I'd see it again, for sure. Be sure to get there early, there's stuff before the play starts. Slapstick comedy is alive and well.

There were 7 in our party, one couldn't make it due to illness. We laughed as did everyone in the Morrison Center. The overacting was so appropriate, it makes me laugh even now - 4 days later. If you missed it - you missed a great theatrical experience. This was a magical moment considering it was a tour DEBUT for the whole cast! Wonderful! It will set the standard for the next comedy to challenge.

I never stopped laughing. The Monte python keep you moving, keep you laughing style was great. The actors and choreography was amazing. The set was awesomely set up for all the movement and changes. The mispronunciations kept coming. A funny farcical play within a play!

This play was pure unadulterated silliness and I loved every minute of it. We had seats in the nosebleed section of the theater but could see and enjoy from before it started - and yes this play started before it started - to the very last second. It was brilliantly acted as was evidenced by the audiences jumps and uproarious laughter at every turn. I highly highly recommend this play.

Laughed so hard I cried. One of the best comedies we have ever seen.

This was one of THE most enjoyable evenings I've ever spent. From start to finish, nonstop hilarity. I immediately wanted to see it again, and am now making plans to see it on Broadway.

The play, cast and production cracked me up! I have been in different community theater productions and experienced when "things go wrong." The cast did an awesome job! And the set was so cool with all the surprises throughout the show!

The play was funny but hard to understand what they were saying as sound was not great. We ended up using the headsets offered when we asked about the sound. This helped but with the actors accent and not speaking clearly, we missed some of the content. However, the physicality of the stage and actors were hilarious and made the show.

Great show to pass the time. You'll laugh, but it's not likely you'll have a belly laugh. A quick online search will find reviews calling it the "best new comedy," "Broadway's funniest smash hit," or "hilarious," which are pretty misleading representations for me. That said, it's good, clean, slapstick humor. It'll bring you back to a simpler time in comedy and you will, at times, begrudgingly laugh at the silliness of it all. Take the family, take a date, and forget about being so uptight for a couple hours. It's worth a watch.

One of the funniest plays I have ever seen. Kids loved it!

Funniest show I have seen by far. The staging was amazing plus the actors were at the top of their game. See it!
