The Play That Goes Wrong (NYC)

See it if you enjoy absurd, slapstick humor - here to the max by a talented cast on a set that never stops surprising - a tv variety skit on steroids.

Don't see it if you would not enjoy constant verbal and physical humor at the speed of light that revolves around the mystery of two deaths.

Don't see it if you lack patience to sit through slow, banal, sometimes tedious first scenes to reach energetic, fast paced, hilarious overacting and action

Also Some punch lines are lost in the noise and action but most of the fun is saved. Extensive 4t wall breakage keeps audience engaged.... Read more Read less

Also The meta here is amazing; the Playbill actually contained the information and bios for the characters.

Don't see it if You want a clever, thought provoking comedy or hate slapstick. Get annoyed at audience laughter/4th wall breaks (it happens sometimes)

Also Im not a huge fan of slapstick but I had a good time! Yes its silly and ridiculous at times but you will still laugh. I have to say the whole show is incredibly witty and clever, the staging and actor's performances are so well timed and not always appreciated as they should! Definitely a unique show!
The audience can get a little loud (at least the performance i was at), which is good for the show i guess but if that annoys you be wary of it...... Read more Read less
