THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG, the Olivier Award-winning box office hit, celebrates its first, triumphant year in the West End, and as a new booking period opens with tickets going on sale until 11 September 2016, the show's phenomenal popularity with audiences looks set to continue.

Due to overwhelming popular demand, Ambassador Theatre Group is delighted to announce an additional eight performances of Richard O'Brien's Rocky Horror Show at the Playhouse Theatre, London, from 21st - 26th September 2015. Tickets go on sale Friday 28th August at 10am. The initial 11 shows sparked such a positive reaction with the public, that tickets sold out in less than 72 hours.

On the heels of a record-breaking U.K. ratings bonanza - with its recent season finale reaching half of the country's television viewership - THE GREAT BRITISH BAKING SHOW (called 'The Great British Bake Off' in the U.K.) makes its U.S. premiere on Sundays from 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET, starting tonight, December 28, 2014, on PBS (check local listings).

The producers of THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG have announced that something has gone spectacularly right. With their advertising campaign encouraging people to 'SAVE MONEY - DON'T COME' which apparently has not worked, the show that they capitalised in the West End for £250,000 and opened at the Duchess Theatre at the beginning of September, written by and starring unknown out of work actors, has already recouped all of its production costs and is now turning a weekly profit.
