Description

The time is right to see The Play That Goes Wrong, Broadway’s funniest and longest-running play!

Welcome to the opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous.

This Olivier Award-winning comedy is a hilarious hybrid of Monty Python and Sherlock Holmes. It’s “a riotous explosion of comedy!” (The Daily Beast) and “tons of fun for all ages!” (HuffPost). Cindy Adams of the New York Post has just one word for you: “Go!” Get tickets now; it would be WRONG to wait!

Two actors perform on stage. One is kneeling with a large box labeled "Mine! Keep off!!," while the other stands, gesturing animatedly. The setting resembles a living room with bookshelves. A man in a black sleeveless shirt leans on a counter in a room filled with posters and various objects. A group of theater cast and crew members pose on stage. Some are seated while others stand behind, dressed in a mix of costumes and casual wear. A group of performers in a theatrical pose on stage, with diverse expressions and clothing, set against an ornate background with rich colors. A person in overalls and patterned shoes reaches up near a fireplace, with ornate wallpaper and swords on either side.

Can't say enough how impressed we were with The Play that Goes Wrong. The set was amazing in that it falls apart without anyone getting hurt. I loved how the cast broke the 4th wall both before and during the show. I know this is a show that's been around for a bit, but I can't imagine a better performance than this off-Broadway production.

This was a comedy masterpiece! I had tears streaming down my face. It has a Monty Python-like feel to it. Each character has a wonderful quirk that kept us laughing the whole time.

If you like slapstick comedy (think airplane , the movie) this one is for you. Personally, not my cup of tea. While the actors had some energy & wit, it wasn't (off Broadway) caliber. Saw a local small community theatre show for $20 recently that I thought was better. Wish I had sprung $$ for a real broadway show. Sorry this one was a no for me. :(
