BWW Review: THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG at the Ahmanson Theatre

No one carries off a farce better than the Brits. It seems like they invented it just as we Americans invented the musical. Mischief Theatre first presented The Play That Goes Wrong in 2015 and then it came to Broadway in 2017. Now it is on tour, currently onstage at the Ahmanson until August 11. I cannot think of a better word to describe it than INSANITY. Most farces have slamming doors, pratfalls galore, double entendres, and mistaken identities. But when the slapstick turns into entire sets collapsing, as well as actors moving about helter skelter in nonstop fashion? The Play That Goes Wrong is unlike any other farce you may have seen. To say you will laugh uproarisouly is an understatement. Naturally, it will appeal to all actors and theatre lovers who know that live, anything can happen onstage. The Play That Goes Wrong carries it to the furthest extreme.

BWW Review: THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG Gets Classic Comedy Just Right

THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG is a farce about a whodunnit that keeps going in spite of itself. It begins at 'funny,' blazes past 'hilarious' and 'side-splitting' straight to 'uproarious,' then ramps it up in Act II. The award-winning script includes slapstick, repetition, mispronunciation, callbacks, prop comedy, crowding, unexpected entrances, pantomime, reversals, costume malfunctions, role switching, overacting, inappropriateness and an astonishing number and variety of spit-takes. The eight cast members are in every way awe-inspiring and terrific. Get it right and go to THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG. Being left out of the fun would be an awful shame.

BWW Review: THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG Goes Terribly Right at the Fox Cities P.A.C.

THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG opened at the Fox Cities P.A.C. on April 30 for its Wisconsin debut, and it will continue to play through May 5. THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG is over-the-top, uproarious, and full of surprises. In order to avoid spoiling the laughs, this review will be purposely vague, but suffice it to say the show is a hilarious treat.
