The New York Times
April 19th, 2023

"In 'Peter Pan Goes Wrong,' which opened Wednesday at the Ethel Barrymore Theater...the jokes and mishaps are still funny, if not quite as magical the second time around."

Time Out New York
April 19th, 2023

"The best way to enjoy 'Peter Pan Goes Wrong,' in fact, may be to take it as some kind of comedy of errors...the game resilience of the actors—as they suffer through relentless variations on disaster slapstick—gets a little tiring, at least for me, when offered in a two-hour dose."

New York Magazine / Vulture
April 19th, 2023

"The bread and butter of Peter Pan’s humor is broad and full of grievous injuries. Like most carb-and-fat combinations, that means it goes down easy but risks leaving us too sated too soon."

Variety
April 19th, 2023

“ 'Peter Pan Goes Wrong' goes long and belabors its physical and vocal antics. But in general, too much of a good thing is a great thing here."

The Observer
April 19th, 2023

" 'Peter Pan Goes Wrong' exceedingly well. I mean to say, it goes right by going very wrong and avoiding ever going right."

Deadline
April 19th, 2023

" PPGW uses a play-within-a-play structure as both loving tribute to theater and knowing satire on the narcissism and fearlessness required to make it."

New York Post
April 19th, 2023

"At two hours and five minutes over two acts, the effect of the wackiness wears off a tad toward the end — even though the final chase scene is brilliantly choreographed on Simon Scullion’s set of a million secrets."

"Children (and children at heart) willing to ride the giggle train will enjoy this production the most."
