The time is right to see THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG, Broadway's funniest smash hit! This Olivier  Award-winning comedy is a hilarious hybrid of Monty Python and Sherlock Holmes. Welcome to opening  night of The Murder at Haversham Manor where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous.  With an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything  (including their lines), it’s “A RIOTOUS EXPLOSION OF COMEDY!” (The Daily Beast) and “TONS OF FUN  FOR ALL AGES!” (HuffPost). Ben Brantley of The New York Times calls THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG “A  GUT-BUSTING HIT,” and Cindy Adams of the New York Post has just one word for you: “GO!” Get tickets  now – it would be WRONG to wait! "NOTHING IS AS FALL-DOWN FUNNY!" Rated: G.

This Tony Award-winning musical,  based on the popular Disney film, is toe-tapping fun for the entire family! Rated: PG.
