The Play That Goes Wrong Tickets - Duchess Theatre

 The Play That Goes Wrong Tickets - London

The Olivier Award-winning, and jaw-achingly funny comedy - The Play That Goes Wrong is still disrupting the West End after over a decade and firmly cemented into a long-term residency at the Duchess Theatre as the longest-running comedy in the West End.

The plot centres on the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society as they [attempt to] stage a murder mystery set in the 1920s - but as the title suggests - just about everything that possibly can go wrong... does!

The hapless cast of accident-prone thespians and their equally clueless crew battle against all the odds to make it through to the final curtain call - with hilarious consequences!

Unbelievably, It's Still As Funny As Ever, And Everything That Can Go Wrong.....Does

Where Are The Best Tickets To The Play That Goes Wrong Located In The Theatre?

The Duchess Theatre is one of the West End's smallest and most intimate venues. Thankfully, there is very little restricted view seating, so if you require tickets to The Play That Goes Wrong with clear views of the stage you are in luck. The best seats in the stalls are found in the central aisle seats, with row J being particularly good. The front row of the dress circle is also worth looking at, and row D of the dress circle can often be good value and offer good legroom.

Is It Easy To Find Cheap Tickets To The Play That Goes Wrong?

There is value to be found for bargain hunters looking to secure good deals for tickets to The Play That Goes Wrong for both evening and matinee midweek performances during off-peak periods. The show does get busy at the weekends and during school holidays though so try to avoid these if looking to save money on the ticket price if possible.

Are There Any Tickets To The Play That Goes Wrong That Should Be Avoided?

Seats at the back of the stalls, on the sides, in rows L, M, N & O feature a slight restriction to the view for some scenes and should be avoided if possible. It is advisable to study the seating plan before purchase as although this is a small theatre there are quite a few price bands that can make some tickets to The Play That Goes Wrong good value (and vice versa!)

Is It Best To Book The Play That Goes Wrong Tickets In The Stalls Or The Dress Circle?

Both sections have their own merits. It is generally a matter of personal preference whether it is preferable to sit in the stalls looking directly at the stage or in the dress circle looking down from an elevated position. There is regularly value found in the seats at the rear of the dress circle if you are on a budget, which coupled with the small size of the venue can make these tickets to The Play That Goes Wrong a bargain as they can often sell for as little as £20 during quiet weeks!

The Duchess Theatre is a small West End theatre with two levels of seating and a capacity of 503. The Dress Circle on the first floor is narrower than the Stalls down below, with both sections offering views that fall into different price bands that can sometimes be exploited to maximise value, and keep prices down.

Premium seats are in the central Stalls where the raking begins, before the overhang from the Circle starts, with seats on each side towards the end of the rows providing side-angled views. The seats at the front of the Dress Circle in the centre also have a perfect view.

The Duchess Theatre has several box seats in the Dress Circle which can seat up to four patrons, and are ideal if you are looking for a more private and spacious experience. Each box is accessed via a private entrance and has moveable chairs to provide maximum legroom and comfort. There are some minor restrictions to the view from some of the box areas.

Due to the small and intimate nature of the venue, there is value in the cheapest seats in the rear of the Circle. These seats are not particularly restricted but well-priced to suit those looking to book cheap tickets to The Play That Goes Wrong. Bargain hunters searching for last-minute shows can also find value at the end of rows in the Stalls. These are often discounted but feature slight restrictions to the view of the stage.
