2. The Play That Goes Wrong
no booking fees! Exchanging places with our number one, this hilarious comedy sees the desperately untalented and deeply chaotic Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society attempting to produce a 1920s murder mystery, having come into a handy sum of cash. But nothing goes smoothly and the group staggers from disaster to disaster in a painfully funny effort to reach the final curtain call. Do the accident-prone amateurs manage it? Find out for less with our special March Madness offer.

6. Elf
went on sale on 23 February – If you laughed your way through the 2003 movie of the same name, you'll love this beautifully silly musical inspired by the film. The score is by Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin. And the book of the show is adapted from the film by Bob Martin and Thomas Meehan. The result is a splendid affair and hilarious too, the story of Buddy, an orphan boy who mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and ends up at the North Pole. It might not be Christmas in reality, but it's always the festive season in your heart...
