A WARNING!!!! We were in incredible pain by the time the show was over. If you can't stand laughing until you can't breathe , I suggest you see something else. STRETCH BEFORE YOU GO TO THE THEATER. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!

[@GreenleafPro]

We've considered a health warning for the actors, but not the audience. Good thinking!

My wife and I saw this in London back in 2014, and I honestly don't know if we've ever laughed harder! Nearly six years later, it comes to our hometown of Boise, Idaho during the Broadway tour, and we were finally able to share it with some of our family and friends. We were nervous before the Boise show, because we'd hyped it up so much and we kept thinking, "Is this really as funny as we remember it?" Yes, yes it was. The entire theatre was howling with laughter for about two and a half hours straight. A friend of ours 'complained' that her face hurt after the show! Here's hoping Peter Pan Goes Wrong ends up on a Broadway tour as well! :)

This is as good a review as there is. Thank you, James!. So glad we didn't disappoint by getting it right!

[@petertubb2135]

This is truly unique and these guys seem very deserving of a success that they have worked hard for. Loved the Christmas show on TV and would love to see the movie improv one if it goes on tour again

[@spockis51]

Not really "unique". Michael Green wrote 12 plays in this style back in the 70's. And they're all hilarious.

[@justforpremiumlmao7765]

So you’re telling me that Chris Bean is a fake name. AND SO IS DENIS? WHAT

[@londongirl2768]

All the actors have fake names

[@nickventer5379]

Phantom of the Opera goes wrong😂

[@GreenleafPro]

Good idea!

[@mattwood1562]

Nick Venter “*And though you turn from me-* Shit, my mask!”

[@GreenleafPro]

Ha!

[@lorrainedowning7670]

Musical Goes Wrong as a general show! Oh my god I would come and see that twice! 😂

[@shawnritz]

and the chandelier falls at the wrong time

[@jedionboard1233]

All their plays are so so funny,,, go see them,,, it will be worth it.

[@saspurillie]

I saw them on Broadway and it was one of the best things i have seen recently.

[@spockis51]

So glad they acknowledged Michael Green and his original series of plays that originated this style: "Four Plays for Coarse Actors". My wife directed 8 of Green's originals in high school productions decades ago. They were and still are absolutely hilarious. Fantastic plays for high schools because, hey, what could go wrong? And they do. Often.

I once saw this show with the entire actual cast in it and it was hysterical and it had such a nice plot twist, Agatha Christie would be pround and laughing the hell out of herself

[@brrrnaner]

You can still see faded letters on the back of Jonathan's left hand 😂

[@justmyopinion628]

I have appeared in several comedy plays, doing a lot of what you guys do, but you guys make me soooo jealous. I want to be in this play.

[@LucyInNightmares1]

i love these guys

[@maddieray5406]

This show is the funniest thing I have ever seen. You laugh so hard it HURTS. It's my new favorite show of all time. These guys are AMAZING!!

[@lilylily9012]

I love this show

[@yasmensamirfans7858]

Now this play in Egypt with Egyptian actors in cairo by Ashraf abd elbaky ❤️

[@envybanjo]

went to see them live yesterday and Jonathan walked past me and I didn’t realise it was him until he’d walked past and crossed the street

[@heathergarnham9555]

Comedy, particularly comedy about plays going wrong are extremely difficult to get right. Good actors can make things believable, a bad actor would just look like they've screwed everything up.b

[@angelofthedead5589]

Whelp, you’re definitely successful at buying tickets! Saw this on your, absolutely hilarious!

[@GreenleafPro]

Wait, we have tickets??

[@TheDesmo54]

[@PatrickKelly-lz3pv]

[@TheDesmo54]

[@TheSarakania]

[@EpicVideos2]

1:00 Did I hear Michael Reeves?

[@GreenleafPro]

Art of Coarse Acting

[@PatrickKelly-lz3pv]

Brian Rix was doing this type of comedy 60 years ago

[@spockis51]

And Michael Green wrote 12 plays in this style in the 70's

[@weepingserpent]

It's like they are a perfect D&D characters

[@GreenleafPro]
