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'.”
Jason Blake,
The Guardian4/5
“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.”

To Kill A Mockingbird
Julian P Fieldwick
The performances were faultless. I was completely immersed in the play. To Kill a Mockingbird is a very important work for my daughter and me. When she was doing her GCSEs, I read the book to her every evening. This performance did justice to the classic work of fiction. I was mesmerised. At the end of the play, my daughter turned to me with tears running down her cheeks. That's how moving it was. This experience was only heightened by the fact that we were lucky enough to be seated in a beautifully maintained theatre. The Wyndham's Thestre was spectacular and has to be the most gorgeous theatre I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. The icing on the cake was the fact that each and every member of staff was unfailingly polite and professional. It was one of the most memorable events of my life, and I can safely say that my daughter felt the same way!

Les Misérables
Mervyn Trollip
Show was something of a pilgrimage for me. I have known it my whole life but never saw it live.
It did not disappoint.
Éponine (Jess Folley) was a standout for me. Fresh and 'on my own was particularly moving.
I would go again if I could.

We absolutely loved it! The venue is lovely, there were some soap/smoke bubbles before. The actors were awesome and so was the setup and the costumes. Another bonus - it's short, so suitable for smaller children.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical

An absolutely extraordinary show!
We spent 2 hours and 45 minutes completely lost in the moment. The singers are exceptional, the dancers are incredible, and the choreography flows with wild energy, without a single lull.
The song selections are spot-on and perfectly integrated into the show. And what can I say about the costumes: sumptuous, spectacular, and truly visually over-the-top 🤩
The theater itself is magnificent and adds so much to the experience.
In short, a grand, lavish, and flawlessly executed show. We had a really, really great time, and I highly recommend it!
A quick practical tip 🥶 : be sure to bring a light sweater! It gets pretty cold in the theater.

The show was one of the best I've ever seen in my life—it felt like a live concert with absolutely stunning special effects, and it really looked like the four of them were actually on stage. In fact, my family and I were debating whether they were exact lookalikes or what?
Amazing!!! It’s totally worth it—a MUST-SEE in London!! And super easy to get to💪🏻
