Stepping into New World Stages feels like slipping behind a painted set: the lobby hums with last-minute rehearsals and the glow of marquees nudges you toward Stage 4, where chaos is the point. The Play That Goes Wrong places you front-row to a deliberately collapsing 1920s murder mystery; props slide, actors improvise, and the comedy builds on carefully timed mishaps.
