Since there's posts for all the other shows closing today, here's one for The Play That Goes Wrong.

Got lucky and got a partial view seat at TKTS this morning. Looks like they were mostly sold-out for their final week. Curious if they do anything extra today. Anyone else going?

Simply amazed by this show again & again. The cast was on fire today and everything still just as funny & fresh. LOVED Mark Evans' BE MORE CHILL ad libs. Toccara Cash(Annie) when asking if anyone had a pen and half the orchestra pulled out a pen was incredible(she took most of them). The pre-show asking if anyone has seen their dog Quincy was great. Various audience members telling them where they've seen the dog(lobby, outside, the balcony, at Hamilton). Noticed a bunch of people in the back of the theater taking notes. I have to wonder if they're going to be part of the off-Broadway cast. Lots of cast members were emotional at the curtain call. I wonder if any of them will transfer off-Broadway?

Such a funny show. So much fun to watch. Hope it doesn't lose its magic Off-Broadway.

Just popping in to say thanks for the report. I saw the show in 2017 with the British cast, and it was a lot of fun. Really glad TPTBW was able to have a successful Broadway run.

What were the Be More Chill adlibs?

Thanks for all the great reports. I definitely plan to check this out at New World.

The Be More Chill ad-libs came during the part of the play when Inspector Carter is looking for the prop ledger, and yells at the audience for telling him where it is. 

 

And, ACL, the dog is Winston not Quincy.

Oopps. Sorry, yesterday was a long day. I know I forgot some other ad libs they did yesterday.

Did the audience at least wait a few seconds before yelling out to the Inspector that the ledger was underneath the couch?

I hope so! They're such wonderful elements to the show, I'd love to still see them off-Broadway.

Yes.
