Olivier award-winning comedy favourites Mischief will be bringing their West End hit Magic Goes Wrong to Canterbury next month (April). 

The Play That Goes Wrong, Mischief’s Olivier Award-winning box office hit that continues to entertain audiences on a global scale, today announces casting for its 2022 UK Tour. T

The Play That Goes Wrong has taken on audiences in London, on Broadway, and far beyond. Now the beloved play is running off-Broadway at New World Stages (340 West 50th Street), where it is still cracking up theatregoers eight times a week.

By nature, musicals are vastly more popular than plays. They have a natural ability to engage an audience and if there are any lulls in the action, you have a high-flying musical number to bring the show back to life. A play has no safety nets. The actors must be dynamic and make genuine connections in order for thee beauty of a show to be felt.

You've never seen J.M. Barrie's classic like this before!

The Play That Goes Wrong, the Olivier Award-winning box office hit today announces a brand new cast at The Duchess Theatre from Tuesday 5th April 2022.

You've most likely heard the age old adage, 'the show must go on' whenever things are going horribly wrong. Widely used in everyday life to help us all look on the positive side of a situation and carry on, The Play That Goes Wrong grasps on to the phrase for dear life and refuses to release it from its death grip until the actors' final bow.

Doveva debuttare a novembre del 2019, invece è rimasto nel cassetto per due anni, inutile ricordare il perché e dopo la improvvisa riapertura a piena capacità dei teatri, i produttori, regista, tecnici e attori di questo spettacolo si sono rimboccati le maniche e in una decina di giorni hanno ripreso esattamente da dove avevano lasciato. E non poteva essere più difficile mettere in scena in un tempo così ristretto uno spettacolo che si basa sulla fretta, sugli errori e sull'improvvisazione. Ma anche se può sembrare improvvisata, ogni gag, ogni errore e ogni paradossale situazione in queste due ore di spettacolo è ben studiata fino all'ultimo particolare.
