Commentaires : The Olivier Award-winning comedy The Play That Goes Wrong is a raucous affair on stage and a real-life, rags-to-riches tale offstage. Created by a group of LAMDA graduates who formed a troupe by the name of Mischief Theatre, The Play That Goes Wrong began its life on the London fringe with only four paying patrons, and then did absolutely everything right! The comedy evolved itself into a West End production that would ultimately win an Olivier Award in 2015. A Broadway transfer was granted to the original London stars, which officially opened at the Lyceum Theatre on April 2, 2017, following previews from March 9.
Presse : "There's a wild, redeeming poetry in such anarchy. My audience, for the record, roared as loudly as the crowds at any wrestling match." Ben Brantley for New York Times

"A comedy that comes up short with laughs and overstays its welcome - now that's murder." Joe Dziemianowicz for New York Daily News

"The show is all payoffs and no setups; it's like a stand-up routine consisting only of punch lines." David Cote for Time Out New York

"It's so ridiculous it makes you feel almost ashamed to love it." Jesse Green, Vulture

"The actors are very good at being bad and are so daring with the outrageous physical comedy that we often fear for their safety. There's no paucity of wit to the proceedings, and director Mark Bell stages the action with clockwork precision." Frank Scheck for Hollywood Reporter

"It's clear from the beginning - even before the beginning with its pre-show shtick - that wrong will be just right. But it takes a while before the laughs come at full speed." Frank Rizzo for Variety
