Excellent
Visiting London for the weekend with my wife and so happy that we decided to see this play. Good production all round and enough red herrings to keep you guessing. My favourite character was Mr Paravicini, a standout performance by Stephen Matthews.
fun, a bit daft, very well done.
I'm not a huge fan of Christie, but this play delivered. It was much fun, with laughs out loud, clichés, overacting in a good way, a bit cheesy and camp, but not too much. It was a proper story and well played. We enjoyed the costumes and period touches. we didn't guess whodunit! I would go again. I think all sorts of people would enjoy it.
Suspense to the end
Lovely quaint theatre excellent actors /actresses truly didn't work out who did it . Fantastic night out .
The mousetrap entertained us
The performance was brilliant. Amusing, captivating and very professional entertainment. I would highly recommend everyone to see it. It seems as though it is part of our heritage .
Excellent 'Whodunit'!
My wife and I attended the Nov. 19, 2009 performance, seated in the fourth row. We expected a really well-scripted murder mystery and came away with a far better impression than the description given. It wasn't simply good, it was excellent! I've worked with law enforcement for more than 10 years. This play kept me guessing up to the end. And even then, I'd guessed wrongly. You won't be disappointed. And you're seeing a record-setter to boot.
Fun throwback
In an era where almost everything in the West End is a show-stopping musical with set changes, costume changes, music, this is a marvelous throwback - one set, no costume changes, old theater, play set in 1952 or so - and it's great. Yes, the plot has some holes and convenient coincidences, and yes, some of the acting can be a little hammy (although that is how the play was written), but it's also a fun mystery and well played out. I very much enjoyed it. If you're looking for something more traditional, kind of like a game of "Clue" more than, say, the Lion King (which is great in its own right) then this is the play you should go see.
