Clever, Hilarious, Great writing, Great staging, Funny

See it if you want a crowd-pleasing, hilarious play that'll leave everyone with a smile on their face.

Don't see it if you want something with more character depth and emotion. (Their follow-up, "Peter Pan Goes Wrong," is more successful on this front.)
