Critics Reviews

“At the end of this week, the world’s longest-running show will complete its 65th year in the West End. It is salutary to reflect that when it opened, Winston Churchill was prime minister and there was still rationing.”
- Evening Standard UK

“It has passed into the realm of great British institutions, as much a highlight of the tourist trail as the Tower Of London or Madame Tussauds.”
- Sunday Express

The performance and seat location wasngood. However, in front row of balcony there was not enough room to fit your knees without having to twist your back. We are only average height. We wish this was in the seat description.

Great show. A classic that was well acted. Great cast. The seats were in the upper circle of the theatre somewhat uncomfortable and close to the row ahead. But it's an historic and quaint theatre that added to the experience.

Everything. Loved the play. Great fan of Agatha Christie and the format. The fact that the play had been going for so long gave it a special aura It was something that was an institution and when we were planning our trip a must see. Actors were brilliant and played to the audience the theatre was a major element of the experience in creating the atmosphere for the play. Agatha Christie, you know what you are going to get, as she works to a tried and tested formula, but you are always surprised by the ending

Everything was great : from the story to the actors, the staff, the seats, the music, the lights game and the set. We had a very nice and memorable evening.
