Peter Pan has some technical tricks up his sleeve as the London show Peter Pan Goes Wrong sets for Broadway spring 2023. Here is everything we know about the show before it comes to New York.

Peter Pan Goes Wrong follows the genius comedy of The Play that Goes Wrong
Co-written by Mischief, the UK comedy group, Peter Pan Goes Wrong works as a companion piece to The Play that Goes Wrong. In The Play that Goes Wrong (now playing on Broadway), audiences follow the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society as they try to perform a 1920’s murder mystery. However, technical mishaps and other accidents cause the play to go less than smooth.

Peter Pan Goes Wrong picks right back up with the Drama society as they attempt to put on Peter Pan. Of course, the crew must deal with more issues as technical problems and internal issues arise.
The Broadway cast and creative
The Broadway cast will include Chris Leask, Henry Lewis, Ellie Morris, Charlie Russell, Jonathan Sayer, Henry Shields, Greg Tannahill and Nancy Zamit.
Adam Meggido will direct, with set design by Simon Scullion, costumes by Roberto Surace, music composition by Richard Baker and Rob Falconer, and lighting by Matt Haskins.
The show is produced by Kevin McCollum, Kenny Wax, Stage Presence, and Catherine Schreiber.
Thoughts on the upcoming show
In a review by The Guardian, Lyn Gardner compared the London production to its predecessor, The Play that Goes Wrong.
“There’s more of the same on offer in this harmlessly goofy entertainment that gets the audience onside even before the action begins with some likable to-and-fro and a comic mobile-phone announcement.”
Fans are also sharing their excitement for the play to come to Broadway.
