It was confirmed today that a sneak preview of the show will be included in the upcoming Royal Variety Performance ahead of a West End run. The Garrick after Unicorn perhaps? The Apollo is another option and it's a venue Mischief are familiar with. Been a while since we've had a new Mischief show, Magic Goes Wrong was the last but this sounds more like The Comedy About a Bank Robbery or Groan Ups. It's interesting that Bank Robbery despite running 4 years is not as seen as a success compared to other Mischief shows. |

Exciting! As much as I love the Goes Wrong shows, Bank Robbery was hilarious so it'll be nice to see a new full on farce from them.

I really hope some of the original Mischief company members will be in the new show.

Nice to get a new play from them. Jon It does feel like ages since Magic Goes Wrong, but wasn’t it reworked after the pandemic? And then the Mind Mangler had his own spinoff. There was a new play called Good Luck Studio, which ran in a couple of regional theatres, surprised that hasn’t popped up somewhere else by now. Plus the 2nd series of the TV show, a podcast, multiple runs of Mischief Movie Night, and reuniting and filming the original cast of Play That Goes Wrong. So they’ve been busy, they just haven’t made as big a splash as previously. |

rumbledoll don’t know sorry. Just know they performed it here and in America, but filmed it over there.

Very excited and intrigued by this! I wonder if it’s James Bond spies and more modern examples of spies or something a period piece like bank robbery. Either way I can wait to watch it and hope it had all the original mischief gang in it!

When I saw this on Whatsonstage just now, the photo accompanying the story made me think this will be starting Alan Carr and Amanda Holden. Relieved to realise it's not!

Very impressed at the highest price being £49.50, if that's for the best stalls seats.

MISCHIEF 48 HOUR PRIORITY ON SALE
from Wednesday 11 December
5000 TICKETS JUST £49.50, £39.50, £29.50 and £19.50
I'd assume these 5000 are some selected seats throughout previews, there are 100% higher cost tickets than £49.50.

What a waste of a prime theatre. Cant understand anyone finding their shows funny.

I wonder why Jonathan Sayer isn't involved? I thought he co-wrote everything Mischief?
