Extremely hilarious for the whole family!
"The whole things was hilarious! From start to finish. It was our 12 year old daughter’s first Broadway show and we couldn’t have picked a better one! She’s hooked! We are a family of 5 and each one had a favorite cast member. Thanks for a memorable evening! "

Wonderfully Chaotic and Hilariously Entertaining from Start to Finish
"I had a general idea of the premise when my husband surprised me with tickets, but nothing could have prepared us for the wonderfully chaotic experience that unfolded on stage. From the moment we took our seats, we were swept into a fast-paced, wildly entertaining performance that had us laughing from start to finish. The humor was sharp, the energy was infectious, and the entire cast was absolutely phenomenal. Each performer brought incredible talent, impeccable comedic timing, and so much personality to the show. It was one of those rare productions that is both delightfully over-the-top and genuinely impressive. We left the theater still laughing and talking about our favorite moments. We would absolutely see it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, unforgettable night out!"

Lighthearted hilarious chaos
"Laughed until I hurt. Even the playbill is part of the performance. What can go wrong, does go wrong but the cast of “professionals” persisted to the end. Very well done. If you have ever been on stage, you have feared these moments. "

Laugh your ass off
"This is the most fun my family and I have at a play ever. Zany, fast and hysterical. We never knew what was going to happen from one minute to the next and it got wilder every time. That actors were incredible and their timing impeccable. And huge props to the set designers for creating an unimaginable set. We all loved it from the 10 year old to the 73 year old. And the theater itself was perfect."

Non stop laughter
"Started a little slow but it really picked up afterwards. Never know what will happen next but you can count on it will! Venue was on the smaller side but that was a plus for me. Lots of physical comedy, pratfalls. "

Fantastic family experience
"A lovely show we would happily attend again. Enjoyed by adults and children alike, as the real fun in this show, is that the actual plot is in fact the hilarious twist of the script itself. This is certainly a show for everyone, not one you'd drag your kids to (or be dragged by them and wait patiently to go home). Besides the plot, the sense of proximity and the interaction between the performers and the audience, made for a warm and friendly ambiance. In my humble opinion, this is the way theatre is meant to be. Bright lights, 3D music and special effects are fine but -call me old-fashioned- I find them more appropriate for the "big screen". "

Funniest play I've ever seen!
"We were laughing from the very first moment all the way to the final curtain—this play is an absolute delight. Each performer brought something unique, yet they worked together so seamlessly that the whole production felt effortlessly cohesive. A thoroughly entertaining experience that left us smiling long after it ended. Loved it!!"

Even funnier than expected!
"This show was fantastic. We attended with our 12-year old. We were all out of breath from laughing and howling through the entire show. I was worried how over his head the show would be, but the dialogue and acting pulled it together. We would definitely come back and are recommending it to everyone. "

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!
