“Fans of the original The Play That Goes Wrong will recognise some of the jokes and most of the slapstick being used again here, it’s perhaps a case of knowing what works and sticking with it, but Henry Lewis, Henry Shields and Jonathan Sayer’s script is no less funny for it, and does do a good job of taking the original story and turning it into something even more exciting and unpredictable”

“Fabulously inventive and wickedly funny, this iteration of ‘Peter Pan Goes Wrong’ is expertly performed by a phenomenally talented cast in a production that goes very right indeed. Peter Pan may struggle to fly in this production, but the show itself absolutely soars.”

“As ever with Mischief, the whole thing is fundamentally a love letter to live performance, and though it’s easy to eye-roll at the sheer broadness of it, there’s also very little point in resisting its manifest charms. Especially seeing as it’s panto season (sorry Chris).”

“it’s a jolly night out, delivered as overwrought idiocy by an amiable cast.”

“ ‘Peter Pan Goes Wrong’ is timed to perfection, every single comedic moment is drawn out to the highest point of hilarity. It’s an incredibly silly show, which everyone could use a dose of right now. This show is laugh-out-loud funny throughout, utterly ridiculous, and utterly hysterical. This is a show you can’t miss – I can’t think of anyone that wouldn’t enjoy it!”

“Every joke, every beat lands perfectly, and this latest iteration, directed with deft hand by Adam Meggido, feels like a warming salve in this colder holiday season, and the Lyric Theatre echoes with laughter for the entire two-hour run time. ‘Peter Pan Goes Wrong’ continues Mischief Theatre’s trend of brilliance, and while decidedly not a panto, it is the perfect show for the season.”

“It was so lovely to see a number of the mischief company members. I was left in stitches and would recommend everyone to catch it on tour before it finishes and is another hilarious masterpiece from Mischief Theatre.”
