Was really looking forward to going to see this play, however from the start it was over acted a d exaggerated. Lost interest after 20 mins in, felt as if euthanized. Just ended up closing my eyes. The break was also too long. Sat with eyes closed and fingers in ears for most of the 2nd half too. Looking around on the way out, some others were saying how disappointing it was. Couldn't follow it, the guy was the one who did the murder, such waffle. Mark Fowler and Nick Cotton actors from eastenders were in it I noticed, and only good thing the actors had a job. What a waste of money. Just couldn't wait to get out. Saw it in Northapmton Derngate theatre. Sorry Agatha Christy, simply awful

This is a must see. The theater is small so it gets crowded. It’s a beautiful place for a theater the seating is decent. The play itself is very good. At the end of the play the actors will ask you not to tell the outcome. All I can say is that the butler didn’t do it.

Great show in a classic theater. Viator did great with reminders, access to tickets, etc. would use them for this purpose again

Great to be part of a legendary event. Very funny and good twist at end! We had great seats in the Dress Circle.

My mom complained about the snug seating (“I feel like I’m back on the plane!”) but to me that’s part of the charm. You know what you’re getting into when you visit an old theater. Riveting and comical, not to be missed. Drinks are pricey but that shouldn’t come as a surprise! The website is a little wonky but I didn’t give up and I’m glad we found matinee seats.

A trip to the theatre with a little bit extra. The longest running play in London, this whodunnit Agatha Christie delivered entertainment and fun. A great night out.

The Mousetrap was written by English writer Agatha Christie, the greatest crime novelist of the 20th century. The Mousetrap has been running for 70 years. Needless to say, it's still popular. By the way, there's a surprise twist at the end, as you might expect. If you love theatre, you're sure to like The Mousetrap.

Actors were excellent! A fun “who done it” experience. Engaged throughout and will keep the ending a secret 🤫

We had heard various people say they were disappointed so went in with low expectations, but we really enjoyed it! It's dated sure but its over 70 years old, you can't really complain about that! If you're a theatre fan you can probably appreciate it, if you're specifically a musical fan maybe not as it doesn't give you that musical high when you come out but definitely worth seeing in my opinion, go in with no pre-existing expectations and you'll be fine, I guess there's a certain level of expectation due to it running for so long, but you just have to take it as it is, a play that was written a long time ago... small theatre so all seats have decent view, there's always ticket deals on get some cheapish seats and give it a go!

A fun theatre experience in the heart of London. You won’t be disappointed by this Agatha Christie murder mystery brought to life.
