Not in the Budget But Worth Every Penny
"Our family had been traveling in the Northeast all week, and had an early flight home the next morning. However, our oldest is in theater and asked if we could see this before we left New York. In all honesty, we didn't budget for it, but we dipped into our pockets to make it happen and we're so glad we did. It was hysterical from the start. The writing was excellent, the physical comedy is fantastic, and the performances each stood on their own. Hands down it was the best experience of our week's long trip. "

Funniest play ever...
"British comedy is the best. And quite simply, this is the funniest play I've ever seen. It's a physical comedy that is easy to follow, and the actors are top-notch professionals. If you're looking for a play that you can mindlessly doze through, don't see this play. The plot is infectious, and the laughs are non-stop."

Funniest disaster off Broadway
"The show was hilarious. We saw the Sunday matinee and they actually had a mishap that delayed the play 5 minutes in after intermission which made it even crazier. Nice small theater to see a play. Very comfortable seating and they even have a nice bar. Overall, I would definitely see another show here."

Wonderful show!
"We were impressed by how talented the ensemble was. The play itself is hilarious; a comedy of errors. The set was nicely put together. We had a great time!"

Very funny and engaging
"The performance was a comedy of errors and very well done. The things that went "wrong" kept escalating and the actors engaged the audience in their performance. Very enjoyable to watch, would definitely recommend. "

Great fun
"It was amazing. I am sure the set builders had a lot of fun putting all the traps in place. I loved the start of the play that opens with the cast/set builders having last minute issues. The actors were great, and seemed to have a lot of fun in the show. YES, I would see it again, if the opportunity arose"

If you need a real belly laugh! Go!
"Hilarious! We couldn't stop laughing from beginning to end. The actors were superb! The play was well written. We were sitting in the front row and admired all of the physical and mental efforts they put into the play! Perfect timing! Also bravo for the set design. Incredible and deserves credit to backstage staff!"

Laugh so hard you almost pee your pants
"This shows was fantastic! We had front row seats and we laughed so hard we were in pain at intermission cause we had to use the bathroom so bad. The actors have great comedic timing and left us wanting more as the show started to end. Highly recommend for those who aren’t into musicals but are willing to give a show a try and I promise you won’t regret it! "

The Play Went So Wrong!
"The play was extremely funny, especially if you enjoy slapstick. The older children and teenagers in theater thoroughly enjoyed the show, but I don't think kids under 8 would understand it."

Hilarious Fun
"I took my teenage son and he laughed throughout the entire show. We have been to many shows and he usually disregards the playbill so I hold onto them. At intermission he asked for the one for this play and as he started reading through it was laughing even more pointing out the various descriptions and such. As we left he said it was one of if not the best play he had been to. That is high praise from a teenager! I also loved the show and would certainly recommend it to family and friends."

Three stooges
"If you grew up enjoying the slapstick physical comedy of the three stooges, this show is for you. I can’t tell you how many times I found myself laughing out loud. The script was excellent with so many ahh ah moments. Great special affects that added to the show. Just a good wholesome comedy I’m sure you’ll enjoy. "

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!
