I heard that The Play That Goes Wrong was offered a Broadway house and will be coming to Broadway in 2017, any ideas where?

I saw this in London last spring and could not stop laughing. I can see this being a fun sleeper hit (meaning it doesn't really need names) or working well in a Roundabout-style transfer.

I stumbled on an article about this show the other day. No dates or theater were mentioned for Broadway. 


Just give the world Love.

I have also heard amazing things about this show--I really hope it transfers!

Saw the show last week on my London trip and really enjoyed it. I think it could do well on Broadway. If shows like Something Rotten can find an audience I think this one can too.

It's basically a ripoff of the Farndale Avenue plays with a bigger budget, but it is a fun show (especially if you've never seen the Farndale shows).

The most recent article I know of:  https://www.thestage.co.uk/news/2016/the-sitcom-that-goes-wrong-mischief-theatre-reveals-tv-and-broadway-plans/?utm_source=newsletter1&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter1  I saw this in London in September 2014 (when ticket prices were still low) and it was hysterical then.  The Royal Variety clip gives a small taste - but, it was so much funnier in person at the Duchess Theatre.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOWO4gq-whg
