While there have been other comedies that feature backstage antics, Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields breathed new life into the genre with their uproarious creation The Play That Goes Wrong. While a few moments and some scenes in the comedy may feel repetitive, the talented Mesa Community College cast throws themselves, quite literally, into their roles, creating a memorable and often hilarious comic production…Chelsea Anderson's direction and the entire MCC cast are excellent. Anderson maintains a fast pace and frenetic action throughout the production. The hilarity escalates continuously, with each moment meticulously timed to elicit big laughs…While the direction and cast are outstanding, this play wouldn't truly succeed without an excellent set, and Rachel Aguirre's, which is reminiscent of Nigel Hook's Tony-winning design, is superb, as are Natalie Ward's props.” - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
