Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

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.

3/5

"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.”

4/5

“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.”

Moulin Rouge! The Musical

Experience
ELEONORA IACCARINO
The theater very much suited to the type of show. Truly spectacular cast not only the two leads but also the various supporting actors. Only drawback the air conditioning maybe a little too cold. But overall all very very satisfactory

The Devil Wears Prada

Experience
Irene Irene
Love the whole experience. Although at first we are unable to buy online (probably bec we are fr Indonesia and our connection at UK sometimes was weak) but we finally managed to get the tickets. We are super excited bec this is our first time to attend a musical in London which is a must from what I heard. And we indeed made a perfect choice. The Devil Wears Prada was amazing from the choreographer, the cast, the costumes, the set and of course the musics👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The production was the best one I've ever seen in my life. I love Theatre and Cinema (I work in cinema industry) and I was amazed by the scenographic artistry and the perfect vocals. I loved the love you feel by entering the theatre, the bar was so cute and the assistance crew was polite. Thank you for this spectacular experience♥️ I'll never forget it.
