The Mousetrap
When THE MOUSETRAP re-opens the West End, it will do so with TWO alternating 8-member casts for the first time. TWO CASTS, ONE CLASSIC. Which one will you see!?
DON’T JUST SEE IT. SOLVE IT.
AGATHA CHRISTIE’S THE MOUSETRAP is the world’s longest-running play. This thrilling West End production – which has become as much of a London icon as Big Ben or Buckingham Palace – is THE genre-defining murder mystery from the best-selling novelist of all time… case closed!
As news spreads of a murder in London, a group of seven strangers find themselves snowed in at a stately countryside guesthouse. When a police sergeant arrives, the guests discover – to their horror – that a killer is in their midst! Which one is the murderer? Who will be their next victim? Can you solve the mystery before another “mouse” goes SNAP?
For almost 70 years, AGATHA CHRISTIE’S THE MOUSETRAP has kept millions of people from every corner of the globe on the edge of their seats. COULD YOU BE NEXT?

Show was as expected but seats were not those ordered despite full price being charged. Paid nearly £240 for good seats, got mediocre seats with ticket price as printed of £99 each.

Such a wonderful play and performance. If only the audience would respect it better by taking their seats on time and not rustling noisy food packaging. Would be good if the theatre could take measures to prevent this, because it does spoil the enjoyment.

After having to change my tickets at the last minute (and getting a bit of ticking off by a lady who I e mailed) I found it to be a really enjoyable evening. Sat in Row B seats 4 and 5 and had a lovely view. I am slightly hard of hearing and would have liked it to be a little louder because I did miss bits of what was being said. The actors were brilliant, there were quite a few spare seats in the stalls but the front rows were full. The usual thing of people eating/rustling paper noisily nearby during the show but I am beginning to get used to that in London theatres. My daughter who is 18 thought it was an excellent show so all in all a good experience.

One of those plays you always say you are going to do, did it and was not disappointed. Performance 28,146 at St Martins theatre, a small and intimate environment with decor which befits the time of the play’s setting. The cast were great, a few laughs as the play progresses and as ever with an Agatha Christie, anybody could be the villain, keeps you guessing as little hints come through until the end when the villain is revealed as...... well you will have to go and see for yourself. Would thoroughly recommend.

There is something quite satisfying when a play which aspires to be a mystery, can exact a collective ‘gasp’ from its audience Well acted - great scenery and a lovely experience

Actors were fantastic, though the play is sadly showing it’s age. I’m glad I’ve seen it and it’s ticked off my list, but I honestly won’t go back. I love the oldy worldy look of the theatre, however the drinks prices are crazy, even at theatre prices, these were the most expensive drinks I’ve ever paid for!

What a fantastic performance. When you consider how long this has been running and yet it still manages to fool its spectators and keep them on the edge of thier seats guessing. Would recommend to anyone that has not yet seen it.

Very good play - intriguing as you would expect from Agatha Christie. The actors were excellent very well acted. Great perfomance

A wonderful theatre emblazoned with the Mousetrap titilates the already bubbling excitement of seeing the longest running play in London. The theatre is cozy, perhaps built for smaller frames but it was comfortable The play was fun. A typical Christie play with several suspects and I didn't guess the culprit.

The actors were fine and of course it is a classic story that has now become a part of London Theatre history, however I personally found it lack luster and limited. Theatre was charming though scruffy and if you are over 5ft tall there is no legroom I was a party of three and we all suffered pain as we could not fit our legs behind the seat in front. This may have just been a problem in the upper circle and probably when it was built people were shorter.

Went to the afternoon performance, a very small audience so We were surprised they still do so many shows. It's a very clever who dun it, a little amusing in places but not surprisingly very dated after such a long run.

I saw the mousetrap 38 years ago! Had completely forgotten the storyline and the plot! Bought my 25 year old so with me to watch it. Fantastic storyline and acting. We were kept in suspense to the very end! We both loved it! Well worth seeing. A real classic!

We thoroughly enjoyed the performance, especially as it was the first occasion that we had been to see The Mousetrap. The atmosphere was great, as the play kept us in suspense as to who was the real villain. Although we had our suspicions during the performance, we were not sure, so the ending was a surprise. Typical Agatha Christie!

The show was as I had hoped and buckets of good old fashioned Englishness!! A lovely old intimate theatre with cute bar at the back of the stalls. Very convenient.

Shame found it very boring, rushing around on stage lots of in and out of doors, stairs, window, story line could have been more better, also scenery in one room is rather boring, seemed senseless talking. Would not book again if friends ask would just put them on warning
