The producers done the same thing in London and that was to offer cheap preview tickets, hence building up a fan base and positive word of mouth, it see,s to have worked.
I am a one of a kind, the only person that didn't love it, including yours truly.
Saw this in London two years ago and loved it. It's completely silly and I totally see how it's not for some people, but I'm very glad I mad a last minute decision to see it.
Isn't this basically the same premise as Noises Off...?
No, but it is exactly the same premise as The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society Murder Mystery. It is on a larger set and it is indeed fun, but it's really sad that this new franchise so blatantly rips off its predecessor (established over 30 years ago) which had already established a franchise of its own, but because they were meant to be small productions, they will likely be obliterated from memory and those not familiar with them will probably mistakenly claim the Farndale shows are the plagiarists. The author of the Farndale shows was already preparing to mount their Peter Pan production when he learned that Mischief Theatre announced the opening of their own Peter Pan Goes Wrong version with a theatre in place (and subsequent national tour). I was already a fan of the Farndale shows and had seen three or four of them, but I didn't realize until I saw Goes Wrong in London that not only was the genre of choice the same as the Farndale inaugural show, but the basis of so many bits and gags were lifted directly from the Farndale shows.

Thanks for posting this! I love when producers make good seats available for a special price! I bought two seats in the first row mezzanine for March. I was thinking of Row A in the orchestra, but I don't know how high the stage will be.
First response is thats €25 is still over priced for this show but do know there were people in tears of laugher from the moment the show started and its has now spawned peter pan goes wrong and the bank robbery goes wrong spin offs so a lot of people do like this brand
Will be interesting how "original" people think this show is - if you are board you can count how many times they flog the same joke - the London productions feature in quite small theatres with 490 seats for Play and 590 for Bank - both running in West End - how does this compare to your Lyceum
Even for $25 I won't do it - I hated Noises Off and anything that is "madcap" or a "romp" - I walked out of The Front Page at the 2nd intermission - maybe it's just me
so with the Lyceum now booked, does this leave only the Hudson as the only available theater for the spring?
