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!
"Honestly in my top five of all broadway shows! It is a amazing funny show! My 14 yo son loved it!"

Wholeheartedly recommend!
"I had no idea what show to see with my teenage son while visiting NYC. He definitely did not want to see a musical. I stumbled across this show and thought “why not?” We all loved it! Very funny - clever idea! The actors were perfect in their roles. The intimate atmosphere truly felt like we were watching a “performance” of a play. The entire audience seemed to feel like we did, given the constant chuckles, giggles, and outright laughter across the theater. 10 out of 10"

Still funniest broadway comedy
"Saw this years ago, enjoyed it then, enjoyed it now. Cast was great, drew the audience in. Timing of lines, asides, pantomime and movements were perfection.
Only thing I didn’t like was the theater. I am 76 and need hand hold for stairs. There are no railings, handholds or other at New World Stages. Had to wait to be last out, even then tripped once, but didn’t fall. "

The play where everything goes wrong
"The performances were absolutely outstanding! From the very first moment, I felt as though I had been transported to a world filled with joy and laughter. The energy on stage was contagious, and I couldn’t stop laughing throughout the entire show. This is the second time I’ve seen the play, and I’m already eagerly planning to experience it again. It’s a delightful escape that leaves you with a smile long after the curtain falls."

What a surprise
"At first I actually thought that the show was just going to be lame. The acting almost seemed like over acting until I realized that it's no accident, it's all intentional. I wish that somewhere in the show there was one ensemble number where everyone sang a line. I think the show is missing that. It could be written in using a soundtrack. That's my suggestion for whatever it' worth. All in all, I laughed so hard that I had tears which is exactly what you want when you go to a show. Also, the main characters make you feel as if you in the audience are part of the show. I'm so glad I saw it. Well worth my time spent!!! "

Very very very funny and at times very unexpected!"

An unhinged comedic thrill ride.
"The Play that Goes Wrong is a hilarious romp through a presentation of "Murder as Havisham Manor." Excellent acting and great line delivery had me laughing out loud so often, I'm sure I missed more than a few other funny moments. A memorable experience of mounting chaos that delivers tons of laugh out loud moments. Anyone who has ever wanted to laugh should catch this play."
