+sn8f1st I saw the closing night on Jan 31st and it was awful. The Play That Goes Wrong is one of the funniest things I've seen on stage, and that's saying something because I really can't stand slap-stick comedy. But on the other end of the spectrum, Peter Pan Goes Wrong was one of the worst things I've had the displeasure of seeing. You wouldn't have believed it was the same theatre company. I also think the current cast in the Play That Goes Wrong is better than the original (i.e. the ones in the video). The guy playing Chris Bean is amazing though. He was the only actor I liked in Peter Pan Goes Wrong. The only one who made me genuinely laugh at one point. I guess I was super disappointed with it because I'd dragged some friends along as I'd told them it would be amazing because The Play is hilarious...and it was such a let down for all of us and now I'm not even sure I can get them to go see The Play That Goes Wrong, which is a shame.

I saw this performed on Broadway in 2016. I can tell you that the _entire_ thing is just as funny as this excerpt. By the end of it, my ribs and face both hurt from laughing so much for two hours straight.

(Steps on the corpse's hand) "His smile was often merely a... a fucade" Yep, ok, you've got me hooked.

Josh Groban suddenly appearing behind the curtain practicing opera is the pinnacle of theatre

I love it when good actors prtray amateur ones. This is superb.

What's most interesting is how much BETTER they've gotten with practice. The jokes are more elaborte, the sets are better, the timing is even BETTER...and they know how to MILK THINGS.

I like how when the inspector is about to open the curtains the other guy is calling his name to warn him yet he doesn't mind it and still gets terrified

I'm impressed that she managed to stay playing unconscious while they pulled her through the window, it looks like nothing but the flexibility and control over her body is really impressive. What a unique scene :) If you enjoyed this, I recommend a ballet I think called the mistake waltz. Similar energy :)

Come back here this instant...... She's run off.

I've seen this play twice. Definitely a production worth seeing multiple times. Even better as a theatre experience to take friends and family to who think little of theatre. It's the kind of entertainment that doesn't even give you a chance to finish laughing before the next joke happens.

I have seen most of the UK greats live on stage - From the 'old school' of Morecambe and Wise, Ken Dodd and Arthur Askey through to the younger comics like Lee Mack, Russell Howard, Milton Jones, Tim Vine and Frank Skinner.... but I have never, never ever laughed as much as I did watching the 'Mischief Theatre' and their plays. What is seen in this video in 9 minutes does not do the _Play that Goes Wrong_ justice. The fun starts way before the peformance while the cast mingle with the audience looking for a fictional 'dog' that has escaped. You laugh, then you laugh more. And when you think it cannot get funnier it does, until you are aching, And that is just the start of an evening that is so funny that it should come with a health warning. My wife and I also saw their second production, _Peter Pan Goes Wrong_ .... another sidesplitting success even funnier, if that is possible, than this 'play'. Well done Mischief Theatre, you are the funniest thing on stage for a VERY long time.

I saw this show closing week on Broadway and got a chance to speak to the actors after. As an actor myself, I applaud those people so much bc it is incredibly hard to have a show THAT technical (minus the heroic techies running the booth and the stage manager) and keep their reactions and performances as if it was the first time ever seeing/doing it. If you ever find a bootleg, there's a bit where the "techie" (an actor) is on their phone scrolling through Instagram or whatever and they miss like 3 important cues, and all the people on stage stare at them until they do the "oh shiT!" and does them XD. I asked the dude when I saw it and he said he genuinely would be texting his friends back or ordering dinner during the show. It was so great, I laughed my ass off for 90 minutes at least.

I love how you can hear them saying each other names like: wait stop don't do that

My drama club is taking us to see this show next month and I’m so excited!!! This clip made me laugh so many times! I can’t wait to see the whole show!!!

This is really funny and sooo British! I love these guys. the inspector actually reminds me of a Monty Python person or two :}

Lol my favorite line from this “ What’s the matter Florence” , “ Calm Down Stop shouting” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

British comedy at its best, never tire of watching them, the more I watch, the funnier they are because you see different things. I love the facial expressions. I watch one of their shows every day, they are the perfect medicine whilst in social isolation. Seeing one of the plays live after corona virus has passed is my main wish list. Thank you to all the team .

just saw this play at the Lyceum Theatre this week on Broadway! I was dying of laughter! Some of the actors who play the crew were out and about the theatre looking around for a dog supposed to be in Act 2 and prepping some last minute set details hilariously! They interact with the audience several times throughout, and are KINGS OF IMPROV! If you have the means of seeing it, I highly recommend it if you're looking for a few hours of laughs!

I saw the full show in London years back and since then I’ve seen all of there other plays and been in stitches every time

I have not laughed so hard- I fell off the sofa- This was brilliant comedy at it's best. Reminds me of my fun days of Highschool Drama and being in Drama groups as an Adult. The last nite of performance was hijinks galore and you just had to wing it to keep the plot moving. Miss those days. Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane. The Silver Fox

The timing of the person pulling her dress to cover her knickers is amazing. Love this show, seen it twice so far.

This is low key the most amazing thing I have ever seen.

I legit thought this was real, and I literally gasped when the girl was hit with the door. Glad to know it was all staged, because if not, I think that at least SOMEONE would get sued for unsafe environment or something 😂

I've done a lot of stage performances over the years (mostly a stage hand and 2 years as a stage manager) and its hard enough to get things to go right. But to get them to go wrongly, right. Just wow
