Magic Goes Wrong reviews at the Vaudeville Theatre ★★★

Mischief Theatre continues it brand of slapstick comedy with Magic Goes Wrong, now playing at the Vaudeville Theatre in London. The team behind international hits The Play That Goes Wrong and The Comedy About A Bank Robbery have joined forces with legendary American magicians Penn & Teller to create an entertaining new riff on the Goes Wrong brand with a show packed with comedy and magic. The audience are cast as onlookers at a charity spectacular for those injured during magic tricks, where the fundraising total keeps falling and the body count — of both humans and doves — keeps rising.    Magic Goes Wrong is booking until 31 May 2020 at the Vaudeville Theatre, London.
