Following its sensational arrival, the politics of popular musical culture has however moved from the shared experience of protest movements and picket lines and to an individualised and celebrified consumerist experience. As a consequence what emerged, as a controversial and subversive phenomenon, has been de-fanged and transformed into a mechanism of establishment support.

  • Celebrates Its First Birthday at the Duchess Theatre with Booking Period Extended to September 2016
    Press Release: 8 September 2015 CELEBRATES ITS FIRST BIRTHDAY AT THE DUCHESS THEATRE WITH BOOKING PERIOD EXTENDED TO SEPTEMBER 2016 THE ORIGINAL CAST ARE BACK IN THE WEST END WITH A SEASONAL RUN OF PETER PAN GOES WRONG AT THE APOLLO THEATRE The Play That Goes Wrong, the Olivier Award-winning box office hit, celebrates its first, triumphant year in the West End, and as a new booking period opens with tickets going on sale until 11 September 2016, the show's phenomenal popularity with audiences looks set to continue. For a limited run over the festive season at the Apollo Theatre, the original cast of The Play That Goes Wrong will bring their trademark comic mayhem to the J.M. Barrie classic and timeless favourite, Peter Pan. In Peter Pan Goes Wrong, the members of The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society once again battle against technical hitches, flying mishaps and cast disputes on their way to Neverland with hilarious and disastrous results. Awarded the 2014 Whatsonstage.com Best New Comedy and the 2015 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, The Play That Goes Wrong continues to thrive and it is a remarkable rags-to-riches story. The production's unparalleled trajectory of success began in 2013, when it opened as a one-act show at the Old Red Lion in London with only four paying members of the public at the first performance. This was followed by a transfer to the Trafalgar Studios, where the show's unique potential was spotted by producers Kenny Wax and Stage Presence, and subsequently to the Duchess Theatre.
