A Hilarious Disaster: Studio Tenns ‘The Play That Goes Wrong’ is a Masterclass in Controlled Chaos
A meticulously orchestrated catastrophe that had the audience howling, pointing at the stage, and squirming at controlled devastation from start to finish. Under the expert direction of Matt Logan, the production showcased both the razor-sharp comedic timing and the technical wizardry required to pull off a play that revels in everything going wrong. The Play That Goes Wrong is a fantastical, farcical tour de force that requires a truly skilled cast to deliver a relentless physical comedy without missing a beat, and Studio Tenn’s ensemble rose to the challenge. The true magic of The Play - in order to get everything to go so horribly awry, everything must be executed with meticulous perfection. Studio Tenn’s production was nothing short of brilliant, proving that comedy can be as thrilling as the most dramatic of performances. This was an unforgettable night of theater, a masterclass in controlled chaos, and two hours that have generated a lifetime of laughter in reflection.
Hilarious
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
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.
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.
We laughed! We gasped! We guffawed!
When “Trevor†(lighting and sound director) appeared by our seats before the play began and asked if we’d seen a missing dog, we knew we were in for an interesting evening. Hilarious from beginning to end!!! Perhaps not for everyone, but it delighted me and the rest of my family members. The creative set and over-the-top characters kept us looking forward to the next disaster. Go see it Richmonders!
Seeing it tonight for the third time!!
I've seen this twice in NYC and seeing it again at the Hippodrome. The funnies play ever!! You'll laugh continuously for 2+ hours. Stop reading this and go buy tickets!!
