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

Everything was great, the performance, the music and last but not least the actors! The madness! I'll just say one thing, we are now also "partners in crime" and "whodunnit!"

First of all the Play by Agate Cristie, also the most beautiful theatre, also our seats. I saw the Show in 1975, when I was au pair in Edgeare, then 25 years later together with my Brother. And now again with Familymembers. We all enjoyed it. Sorry for my English!!!! Karola Drews

You really felt out. The crowd was cheerful and very varied; from vacation outfits to beautifully dressed, but none of that mattered. The crew was fantastic, we were not bored for a moment. What I do not understand is that the audience leaves a huge mess after the performance, that is beyond my comprehension. Please alert the audience that it is normal to take your trash and deposit it in the local trash can, small effort and big fun! Especially for those who have to clean it all up.

The seats were perfect, the decor of this old theater was authentic. Every actor embodied their role superbly. The bar during the interval was perfectly equipped. And we are now also among those who keep the secret.
