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 staff was so helpful and accommodating. Plus the story was just good and actors did a great job portraying the characters. I think the moment the killer was exposed and the audience actually grasped will stay in my mind forever.

Good without being overwhelmed. Strong acting but the scenery could have been more changeable. Compared to a musical, I find it a lesser experience for the same price.

I knew nothing about the show and due to the skill of the actors expertly enacting the script was unable to identify the mureder until the end, (so many red-herrings). Acting was good plus a set that transported you back to 1950's England. Excellent all-round.
