What To Expect

In advance of your selected showtime, make your own way to St. Martin’s Theatre in Central London, and take your seat for this classic murder-mystery stage play, adapted from Agatha Christie’s short story and radio drama of the same name.

A fixture of London’s West End since its opening in 1952, this hugely entertaining play is the world’s longest-running show. It tells the story of a group of people trapped by snow in a country house hotel, who discover, with nerve-jangling results, that one of them is set on a murderous mission.

Sit on the edge of your seat thanks to Christie's trademark plot twists and turns. Then, gasp when the shocking identity of the murderer is finally revealed—one of the best-kept secrets in theater history.

You have the choice of two seating options for the performance. Standard-price seats offer a good view of the stage and are usually located in the rear stalls or dress circle. Alternatively, upgrade to top-price seats to enjoy a full view of the stage and be closer to the action.

After the performance, including an interval break, your experience ends at St. Martin’s Theatre.

We highly recommend it.

Really a wonderful way to spend the evening. Had a drink up in the bar before the play, got good last minute seats, and loved the actors and staff. KUDOS, we highly recommend it.

Small theatre. So up close to the stage from most every seat. Who done it with laughs to keep it light as well as interesting.

Mousetrap surprise

JERRY_P, Sep 2025
Geat whodoneit! Seating is a little crowded. If you can afford it sit in front section of dress circle. Actors do not use microphones so they project well.

A little slow storyline

Susan_P, Sep 2025
I enjoyed it, but would not be my first pick. Theater seats way to small and uncomfortable. People fell asleep.

Nice little experience

James_J, Aug 2025
Show started on time and was well put on. Only minor issue is seats are tiny unless you are a small human.

customer service

Excellent experience Would have been nice to choose my actual seat as I am claustrophobic and you had settled me into the middle of a long long row.

Lovely theatre and outstanding performance.

Ian_P, Aug 2024
We loved the theatre and our seating location was perfect. The performance was outstanding! The staff was very friendly, helpful, and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

A Fun & Frolickly typical Christie Romp!`

John_P, Aug 2024
An excellent and fun way to spend a lovely evening in London. Great acting, despite a brief bit of screechiness on the part of the lead female actor, but, all in all, a balance of humor and intrigue. British entertainment at its expected best.

Great show

Amy_S, Aug 2024
What a great show! We really enjoyed it. I purchased the less expensive seats and they were certainly very high up but in the end it didn't matter at all.

Karen G, Sep 2017
It was great to see such a classic play on the West End. It was very easy to exchange the voucher for a ticket. I had a terrific seat, but the theatre was nowhere near full, so I was able to move forward and have a bit more space around me, as the seats were tight. The area around the theatre Charing Cross Road seemed a little seedy to me and I walked up Shaftsbury Ave where there were more people to catch the bus to my hotel.
