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.”

Great drama play. Absolutely brilliant plot and performance. It also give you the feel of attending a trial in a court.
Highly recommended!

I had one night to myself in London and decided to check out the Book of Mormon. It was incredible and absolutely hilarious!! Every actor on that stage is nothing short of phenomenal. I had the absolute best time and would recommend this show and theatre to anyone!!

Moulin Rouge! The Musical

A very beautiful show. The costumes are a feast for the eyes. The story is easy to follow, even without subtitles. We didn't expect the dialogues to be so funny. Lots of covers of well-known songs.

Stranger Things: The First Shadow

The show was incredible, it felt like a movie but in real life. The performers were Amazing ; the sound and spécial effects were crazy good. I was seated at the extrême left side but still had a perfect view (except at few moments when there were scenes at the back of the stage). I wish I could re-Watch it again 😭

The Lion King

The Lyceum Theater was very nice, but unfortuantely they charge £1 for booster seats. I mean we already paid quite a lot for the ticket but was shocked to know. The Seats at the theater was very nice and the atmosphere was just right for the Lion King, sound stage was clear and everyone was in awe. Highly recommended for those who want to relive the Lion King Era.

The Play That Goes Wrong
Kathryn Lies
We sat in the center of dress circle, which is a great place to sit (unless you are very short, then I would suggest the front row of the dress circle). It was non-stop laughter the entire time. The only downside was the length; I think the second half was a little too long, and the audience was getting tired. Otherwise, a wonderful play, and a good choice for the one play that we were able to see on our short visit to London!
