A GREAT ESCAPE TO MUCH NEEDED LAUGHING

Looking at many of the reviews, I find it hard to imagine that they saw the same play as I. After having seen this in NYC, I jumped at a chance to see it again in Charlotte. Interestingly, there were some tweaks to story line that added a bit more depth to the NYC version. This is hilarious. It is not Monty Python or the Three Stooges, it is something all its own. The audience, ranging in age from 8 to 80, cackled and laughed for more than two hours. The timing was crisp and the gags were well played, even if some were predictable. Knowing what might happen made it funnier when carried out. There was non-stop comedy action and twists and turns that the actors carried out flawlessly. Often, the funniest parts were the reactions of the cast members when things did go wrong. The interaction with the audience was spot on with hilarious references to local issues and topics as well as a poke at the Charlotte ego. I wish I could go again, but, alas, the holidays call.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO LEFT AFTER THE FIRST ACT!

You missed the best part of the play.....yes, it was corny, yes, it was over acted, but that's what made it funny.....the second act tied it all together. Its was a murder mystery play, they were acting, by the second act you put everything together and saw the humor! We loved it and if you liked Monty Python you will like it too.

My husband, son and I saw this show and loved every minute of it!! All of the actors were great! The funniest show I've seen in a long time

NOT NOEL COWARD

But that’s not what you’re paying to see. However, there is more than just slap stick to the play. The real treat is the individual reaction by each cast member as things go wrong and how they deal with it. If you want to go deep enough the play is a metaphor for life and how we all face problems. But for me I would take as face value as just good fun. So don’t go expecting Coward or Shaw but relax, enjoy the play for what it is and have a good time.

THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG

The actors and stage performance was very good. I gave this review a 4 star rating due to the placement of one of the actors. I have seen this production in London and Syracuse. The stage crew manager is supposed to be seen by the entire audience. The people with balcony seats could not see him at the Kennedy Center. This was a bad design decision. People pay a lot of money to see a show like this. To see all the characters. It was confusing for the friends I took for the first time.

A FUNNY 2-HOUR LONG MONTY PYTHON SKETCH

This play featured very skilled actors doing amazing things with comedic timing and physical comedy. It was very funny at times. However, it is very self-aware, and seems to try too hard to get laughs. It would be a really funny 30-minute sketch, but after that it became as exhausting to watch as it, no doubt, was to rehearse. My wife and I left at intermission.

SOME JOKES DIE HARD

Funny to a point. Some of the bits wouldnt end. The build up to the end could have ended sooner. Two acts? It could have been done in one. Entertaining. To be honest, they tried too hard. Kudos to the actors having to work so hard.

What we thought

HILARIOUS british Slapstick

Brilliantly BAD! And if London Bridge ever does fall down, the Mischief Theatre Company would be my first suspect!

The name of the producing theatre company says it all, Mischief Theatre. With nothing short of a miracle, The Murder at Haversham Manor his heading out on tour! Thankfully though it is merely a guise for the brilliant The Play That Goes Wrong!
