About the Show

From the creators of The Play That Goes Wrong, this show sees the inept actors tackle a new tale.

In Peter Pan Goes Wrong, the folks that brought over the Tony Award®-winning comedy hit, The Play That Goes Wrong, revive their trademark comedic hijinks as they take on the J.M. Barrie classic Peter Pan.

The ever-beloved members of The Cornley Drama Society once again combat technical issues, flying mishaps and cast conflicts on their way to Neverland with hilarious and disastrous results.

Featuring the original Mischief company members that brought you The Play That Goes Wrong.

"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."

"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."

"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."

“ '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."

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

" 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."

"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."
