Everything went right
"I knew this show was going to be amusing but I was NOT prepared for the antics, the jokes, the Play within the play, the physical comedy…the staging, hijinks, slapstick, and just the complexity of the production…I cannot recommend this show enough. Thank you cast and crew 👏"

MUST SEE!!
"I am from Texas and this was my first time seeing a Broadway show. I had the absolute best time at this Broadway show! From start to finish, it was incredibly well put together—every scene flowed seamlessly, and you could tell how much thought and talent went into the production. The cast was phenomenal, delivering their lines with perfect timing and energy that kept the audience fully engaged. What really stood out was how hilarious it was. I found myself laughing nonstop—the kind of laughter where you’re still giggling even after the joke has passed. The humor was clever, fresh, and perfectly executed without feeling forced. The set design, lighting, and overall atmosphere added so much to the experience, making it feel immersive and alive. It’s one of those shows that pulls you in and doesn’t let go until the final curtain. I would 100% see this again and recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, unforgettable night. Broadway at its best! 🎭✨ I would definitely recommend this if you’re in NYC!!"

The Play That's SO Right!
"My daughter and I have been fans of The Goes Wrong Show for a long time, so attending The Play That Goes Wrong was an easy decision. The Play is even better! The actors fully commit to the silliness and the physicality. I need to see it again to catch the details I missed while I was laughing, and laughing so hard I cried! I'm already planning my next trip to New York to take my husband and I can't wait!!!"

An Excellent Day With A Moody Teenager
"I was trying to figure out something to do with my teenage daughter while her mother was away. The Play That Goes Wrong was an amazing choice. Very funny, accessible to all, reasonably priced, nearly two hours of laughs and, most importantly, my daughter wants to go back and see it again."

Hilariously chaotic and fun!
"The show is packed with a variety of comedy from proud silly characters and physical calamities to every possible mishap a stage performance could possibly have. Right from the beginning the audience is pulled into the chaos and the laughter continues throughout the entire show. This is a delightful production definitely worth seeing, enjoy!!"

A laugh we all need
"My coworker recommended this show, and I wasn’t sure I’d like it. I absolutely loved it. The cast was very funny and engaged the audience from start to finish. The “I’m having an episode” dance is stuck in my head in a very good way. "

Never a dull moment with this show!
"If you are into physical comedy, slapstick Marx Brothers type.... I feel this is particularly for you. Wife and I were rolling! Thought it was really clever, refreshing, and the pressure is off of the audience leaving you free to enjoy. They interact with the crowd in an inviting way...nothing cheesy. My only complaint was that they didn't hold longer for applause at the end... I had more claps and whistles to give. We see a few shows a year in NYC and this one is at the top of the list. The stage setting doesn't change during the play, so no Broadway smoke and mirrors here..... just great cast and a great script. If I had more than 2 thumbs, they would all be up."

The Play That Goes Wrong is so right!
"Absolutely hysterical! It’s two hours of non-stop laughter. Every character is over the top funny. Wear water proof mascara, because you will have tears from laughter running down your face. "

Amazing
"The space is great for this show since there is always something going on and to be close helps to see all the small to big actions. I was laughing, chuckling, surprised and clapping through the show. The physical aspect is just over the top which makes the show hilarious. Real enjoyed the entire two hours. "

So funny!
"We loved the show! It was so funny and very well done! The casting was great! One of my favorite theatre shows I’ve seen in a very long time. I am a fan of the show that goes wrong and similar things and this was very inline with that same comedy style and it was exactly what I hoped when I bought the tickets. "

Max Bennett was hilarious as Cecil, and the cast was sensational!
"The actors did an absolutely fabulous job, and the set design and action was exceptional. This is a good play made even better by the enthusiastic performances of the actors and creative set design. The small Theatre added to the effect by being able to be as close as you can be to the stage."

Return to slapstick
"A real slapstick comedy. I laughed from beginning to end. In some ways, it reminded me of the Three Stooges. The only thing I didn’t like was when Annie smashed a glass vase. We were in the front row and a piece of the glass could have hit us. The actors were entertaining. It was obvious they were enjoying themselves. "

About The Play That Goes Wrong

Welcome to opening night of the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a Broadway show—a ramshackle set, a leading lady with a concussion, and a corpse that can’t play dead. It’s a classic murder mystery… and it’s a mystery how it ever got to Broadway!
