The Mousetrap stands as a testament to theatrical endurance. Although not a groundbreaking trendsetter, Agatha Christie's classic play offers a unique time capsule, preserving the atmosphere and DNA of its first performance. It defies genre expectations, presenting a murder mystery that transcends the years, inviting audiences to experience the ambience of the past. This mummified relic, the world's longest-running show, allows theatregoers to step into "Agatha Christie time" and relish the peculiar authenticity of the 1950s setting.

Caroline McGinn,
Time Out3/5
"The West End’s longest-running show displays no sign of slowing down.
At the end of this elegant Agatha Christie thriller, the newly uncovered homicidal maniac steps into a sinister spotlight and warns everyone never to reveal his or her identity. The production recently celebrated its 60th birthday and although Wikipedia and Stephen Fry have both blown the murderer's cover, there is a remarkable conspiracy of silence over 'The Moustrap'.”

“Directed by Robyn Nevin, this Mousetrap is springy and efficient…The pace is cracking, the timing excellent, the characterisations warm and full.”
Brian Geach,
The AU Review4/5
“The Mousetrap is the definition of a must-see show. Actually, scratch that, this is a must-solve show. Ripe with suspense that’ll put you on the edge of your seat, this Agatha Christie narrative is riveting from beginning to end and loaded with characters that are all uniquely compelling. Dust off your dark overcoat, light scarf and soft felt hat and get ready to witness the world-famous mystery that has surprised generation after generation.”

An amazing show to which we returned after 15 years. The thrill of emotions accompanied us as much as before, so keep it up. We hope to visit your theater in the future.

Stranger Things: The First Shadow

This was the best performance I have ever seen. The story was amazing. And I can't say this enough Louis Healy ( Henry ) was just mind blowing. The way he moved his body and acted was just incredible. The rest were also good. But he was just outstanding. The special effects were also amazing.

Very original production- my first opera!
The staging was intriguing and the music excellence!
The London coliseum is an amazing building - worth a visit on its own!

Mamma Mia!

The show is absolutely brilliant and the artists fabulous.
The only downside is the comfort of the seats, especially the legroom. This theater dates back to 1913, and people in those days certainly had smaller statues.
The charm of old theaters.
To round off an extra-special London trip.

No holds barred
You don't understand English ???? It doesn't matter; the beauty of the tableaux, the voices of the performers (gold medal for Dona!) and the choreographer's skill carry you along in this beautiful story 😍

The ABBA concert was a really great experience with a goosebump feeling. The organization was great, the band played superbly and all in all it was a great experience that I can only recommend. We had a great evening and the tickets were worth every penny.
