Magic Goes Wrong

The Mischief Theatre company is enjoying a 12 month residency at the Vaudeville theatre. Their huge West End and Broadway hit, The Play That Goes Wrong, remains a monster hit. Now there's a fresh new comedy on the horizon in theatreland, Magic Goes Wrong, and it's absolutely hilarious. The show has been created by US comedy-magicians Penn & Teller in collaboration with the Mischief company, and is co-produced by JJ Abrams of Star Wars fame. It might even raise more giggles than the legendary Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About A Bank Robbery, and that's saying something.

Penn & Teller are currently the longest running headlining act in Las Vegas. The Mischief Theatre are one of our best-loved comedy theatre groups. The play showcases all sorts of magic, modern and traditional, everything from an old-school magician in a top hat to a mind reader, a circus double act, a quick-change artist and an American jeopardy magician. While many of the tricks go brilliantly wrong, enough of them go right to blow your mind in the most magical way. The plot? A hapless bunch of amateur magicians put on a charity show with a fundraising target. But the more tricks go wrong, the bigger the target gets. If you're looking for funny, it doesn't get much funnier than this...
