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.”

Very persuasive and enthusiastic performances.
No songs.
A wonderful theatre -- 100+ years old, quaint, charming and packed with a buzzing audience who helped create a wonderful atmosphere.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

For true Harry Potter fans, the play is a highlight. I have seen this play in Hamburg and London, I have to admit that Hamburg manages to make this event big. London can take a leaf out of its book. Nevertheless, it was good.

The show as fantastic and the theatre was Magnificent! I live in Tampa, Florida and we don't have historical theaters so we were in awe ant the beauty of His Majesty. I've been to several in New York and this venue surpassed those.
The staff was friendly, helpful and moved us in quickly. Toilettes were clean.
The theater sound was incredible!!
