PƎTƎЯ PAИ GOƎƧ WЯOИӘ On Broadway - Reviews & News Thread

Peter Pan Goes Wrong, the sequel to the international hit The Play That Goes Wrong, will open on Broadway this spring at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. Performances are set to begin March 17, with opening night scheduled for April 19.

Co-written by Mischief Theatre artistic directors and Goes Wrong series creators Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields, the comedy finds the Cornley Drama Society back at it, this time attempting to present J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan amid technical glitches, flying mishaps, and cast disputes.

The production will star original Play That Goes Wrong cast members Lewis, Sayer, Shields, Charlie Russell, Greg Tannahill, and Nancy Zamit, with Chris Leask and Ellie Morris rounding out the company.

I know I'm in the minority, but I loathed The Play That Goes Wrong. Granted, I'm not really a fan of slapstick humor. I will be skipping this one.

This is out of left field, but considering that The Play that Goes Wrong has been a sleeper hit for years now and is one of the few Off-Bway shows to survive the pandemic reopening, and the countless times I've watched the BBC broadcast version, I am really excited for this! 

 

Looks fun!

This just got added to my list of shows for the Spring.

More farces and genre-y stuff (like The Mousetrap transferring) could be just what Broadway needs.

Saw it in London years ago and had a great time! Very similar to its sister show.

I despised Play That Goes Wrong. I didn't laugh once. To each their own. I'll give this a shot though. The familiarity of Peter Pan may allow for some more laughs.

ArtsClub in Vancouver did this production late last year. We caught it. It was fabulous, hilarious, insanity. 
 

go see it.

Saw Play that goes Wrong and Bank Robbery that goes Wrong - on the West End and loved both! I just need some good old fashioned theatrical fun right now... well in the Spring at least! I think they also do a show about the Nativity that goes Wrong as well - I could be wrong.?"

Yup. They have both The Nativity Goes Wrong and A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong.

If you’re a fan of this hysterical theatre company I strongly suggest you check out their “Goes Wrong Show” - currently streaming free on the Roku Channel. We’ve been re-watching it over the last week and continue to be amazed by how clever and well-performed they are. Very happy to see today’s announcement!

Seems the wrong house for it. Always felt like the Mezz there felt so far away. I saw the original from the mezz at the lycyeum and that felt cozy. Good luck to them! 

Agreed. I left "TPTGW" at intermission. Hated it. You have to suspend believe and convince yourself that every actor in the play is a complete moron.
