The Play That Goes Wrong Tickets

We were very disappointed with this play. The plot / idea is good but good comedy has to be unexpected. This was all overacted and ‘hammed up’. It would have been much funnier, in our view, if it has been played in a more subtle and nuanced way so that all the mistakes and dodgy set issues were apparently unexpected. It was all too predictable and done as a ‘clowning’ performance but you need more expert clowns to pull that off. In addition, the cast were continually shouting, which became monotonous and also made it difficult for the slightly hard of hearing (me) to pick out the diction from the background noise. The sound effects guy played his part straight and was much the funniest. Other members of the audience enjoyed it but I would recommend it only for youngish kids to enjoy what was a slapstick knockabout. Good try and lots of effort but I’m afraid it was a big disappointment.

Booked this show to see as part of our trip to London, I’ve been before and seen a few shows but this one was certainly the funniest. A great show for all ages what a lovely night we had.

Should have been humorously bad, Just cringingly bad

My husband and our two teenagers absolutely loved the show; great acting, brilliant comic timing from all and lots of action throughout. Laugh out loud stuff. I was also impressed by the social distancing and efforts re COVID made at the theatre. All great.

I went with my mum for a change of scene in the weird world; it definitely brought many laughs along the evening! Very funny and would recommend for everyone to go see it!

Great play in lovely theatre. Kept us laughing for the whole 2 hours with wonderful actors with impeccable timing throughout. Would recommend to all ages.

I was not sure if I was going to enjoy the show when I booked it. It was my wife's birthday and she had said that she would like to see it. I am very glad she did. It was quite the funniest thing I have seen in over a decade. It started before we even entered the theatre proper. In the bar We were approached by a stage manager (cast member) looking for a lost dog 😑 very funny and a prelude to much better things to come. The hilarity built throughout the show culminating in a final act so fast and full of gags it was virtually impossible to catch them all, missing some purely because of laughing so much. I will definitely book to see this company's other productions. Fantastic..........

A real laugh a minute. Cheers anyone up when the world is all doom and gloom!

A lovely,inoffensive friendly show that had everyone laughing and smiling

GREAT SHOW

Incredibly good timing, some really impressive stunts, excellent physical acting and all round terrific performances. It's great.

Very entertaining and funny.

If you like farce slapstick comedy this show is for you. A well worked script with loads of laughs. It goes from a few bits going wrong to a disaster.

Tha play was slow in places and a bit boring. It was funny in many ways. The Duchess Theatre needs renovating at least new seats. At £96.00 for the two of us was expensive, especially sitting on what felt like solid timber seats.

The beginning is very funny and gets more complex as the play goes along. I admire the timing in the latter part of the show particularly near the end that was brilliantly choreographed .

This show was so bad we left at interval -we were not the only ones to leave, we walked down Aldwych with others who had left and all were saying how bad the show was. Just could not anything funny about this awful show,all the things that were constantly going wrong were not the slightest bit funny. Felt that this was a case of Emperor's Clothes, that if you are told enough times this is great and really funny you would actually believe it! What a complete waste of money!!

Can't remember when I laughed so often during a show. Much better than the TV shows. Really awesome stunts and split second timing.

Very funny - slapstick comedy-our family really enjoyed the play.

Really funny show, fits of laughter,great improvisation where needed

Some laughs but tedious in parts

Our annual Dad and son day out in London, last year we watched the Bank Robbery show by the same group which was hilarious. this year we had seat that were directly in front of a group of three people who chose to narrate the show all by themselves for the entire performance. a member of staff stood overlooking as she noticed the disturbance too and in the interval a couple of other people spoke to me. sadly it continued, at one point the man in question found one line so funny he repeated for the rest of us FIVE times, by which time i found it had lost it charm. At the end of the show i spoke to management and was compensated with an apology, she denied that anyone in the theatre was aware of it as she would have been informed, despite my son and i pointing out to her, who the member of staff was that was watching them, my son explained that she was an employee as she sold him his ice cream. A total waste of £130

Loved it & have taken friends a couple of times now Thank you

It was very good. We laughed a lot!

Excellent, enjoyed every minute!! Want to see it again!! The enthusiasm and energy of all the cast was amazing.

We enjoyed thoroughly

It was funny from beginning to end; kept us all entertained!

Hilarious! Superb. Could not stop laughing all the way from beginning to end. I feel so cheerful. The theatre upgraded the seats without any extra cost. That was a nice gesture and is much appreciated.

Fantastic performance with amazing group of actors with amazing timing. So funny. Getting it wrong so right is fantastically complex but these guys make it look so easy. The only downside is the noise of the laughing audience. Would highly recommend a fun family evening.

Could not stop laughing to the extent I was crying,

A terrific evening out, light hearted family fun. A real throw back to the slapstick comedy days, all of the family were laughing out loud.

Getting into the theater was tricky with the doors not being open and lines of folk waiting in the rain. Ugh. The show was good fun. It was lovely to spend time laughing out loud and with others. Best way ever to build a quick and caring community.

My 13 year old and I went to see this yesterday afternoon for a treat and it was fantastic. We laughed the whole way through. It was silly and clumsy and a bit Frank spencerish but we loves it. Such a nice small intimate theatre too.

Seriously the best theatre show I’ve been to and I’ve been to loads!!

I went alone to kill time between flights. I go to the theatre a lot and usually don't like comedies,but some friends recommended so I gave it a try. It made my day. Couldn't stop laughing.

This is one of the best theatre shows I have gone to. The trailer doesn't do it credit at all. I was laughing about 90% of the time. It was fantastically well done and orchestred.

Husband, me, son (15) and daughter (10) all laughed out loud throughout. Really great entertainment from the moment we took our seats before the performance to leaving. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone.

We’ve had an amazing time and the show was one of the best we’ve been to. Extremely funny all the way through. Great acting and cast. Simply AMAZING!

It is a nice play but thats it. Acting is good story is OK. The very longbbreak is somewhat disturbing.

Music I gave a low score as it isn’t a musical at all. Reminds me of a Brian Rix play

Great show. Very funny.

Do get there 15 minutes before it’s due to start. The ‘stage crew at work’ is not to be missed. My ribs ached from laughing 🤣. It exceeded expectations!

very entertaining. Plot is not important, it is the whole setting

bravo to the actors and the script writers

Great little theatre which is easy to get to and a brilliant production. The evening flew by so fast. Good, clean, very funny, entertainment skilfully is executed. A completely hilarious shambles.

I haven’t laughed so much for ages. Good story excellent acting, timing impeccable, so necessary for a farce. Reminiscent of the original Whitehall farces. And I loved the theatre, first visit to this one. Staff friendly and helpful. ,

Really terrific, well done

This is a very funny play but is about 20 minutes too long and the humour became somewhat lost when things get a wee bit manic on stage. My husband loved it. I enjoyed it. The first 20-30 mi it’s were very funny but second act less so with a lot of shouting. It was worth the price of the ticket tho.

I defy anyone not to laugh at the goings on in this play. I have seen it 6 times and love it. Go and enjoy yourself. Excellent evening

Excellent show. I saw it three years ago locally and it was just as funny this time. Ideal for all the family.

A really funny comedy of errors ..... all the family loved it !!

What a load of rubbish. Very slapstick comedy which was not funny. We left half way through.

One of the funniest British Farce comedies ever. Excellently acted by the cast. Never again will I drink a whisky without remembering this show

Had a lovely afternoon watching ‘The Play That Goes Wrong’. Had a barrel of laughs and felt part of the act as had front row seats and with loads of leg room. Would recommend this show to all age groups. Well done and thank you 😁

A light hearted, very entertaining production. Suitable for everyone...NO BAD LANGUAGE, hurrah, such a refreshing change from TV productions that are littered with swearing. Well done to the production team.

Amazing laughter therapy. I loved the play

We went there in family. Hilarious time, we laughed form the beginning to the very end. A must go

It's literally an interesting and funny show. It's been a long time since I laughed that hard.

Chose the show by random to finish off a few days in London. What a marvelous way to end it. Laughed from start to finish. The cast were excellent and we had a very clear view of the stage. Lovely little theatre and should definitely be one to go see

I had just come to see this show because I am visiting London and wanted to get an experience of London's theatre culture but I didn't stop laughing throughout the show and there was a big smile on my face all the way back home. A definite must see for everyone.

Very enjoyable show, great escapism for a couple of hours

Just not funny. Does not compare with the Bank Robbery that Goes Wrong

the show was good.initially i was a but lost and couldnt understand the plot.during the interval i read about it and then only could i relate to the whole act. i was a bit confused but at the same time it was funny at places.

Great fun. Fabulous cast who worked their socks off but don’t ask me what the plot was !
