The Play That Goes Wrong

Get ready for a night of side-splitting laughter when The Play That Goes Wrong takes the stage at New World Stages – Stage 4 in New York on November 17, 2025! This award-winning Off-Broadway comedy blends slapstick chaos, British wit, and theatrical disaster into an unforgettable performance. 😆

From the moment the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society attempts their “murder mystery”, everything that can go wrong will go wrong. Expect falling props, runaway corpses, forgotten lines, and actors flubbing cues—with hilariously disastrous results. It’s a riot of physical comedy, perfectly timed mishaps, and clever stagecraft.

Whether you’re a lover of theatre, comedy fans, tourists exploring New York’s vibrant performing arts scene, or simply looking for a fun evening out, this show is for you. Families (ages 8 and up), groups of friends, even corporate outings will delight in the chaos and creativity.

Performed in Stage 4 at New World Stages, the show is about two hours long, including a 15-minute intermission. Spacious seating, central Midtown location, and top notch cast ensure you’ll enjoy every outrageous moment.

Don’t miss your chance to see why critics call it “a gut-busting hit!”—it’s the theatre night you’ll be talking about long after the curtain drops! 🎭
