“A still-marvelous whodunit… fiendishly fabulous… The Mousetrap deserves to make a killing.” – Chicago Sun-Times
“The Mousetrap, of course, is a masterpiece of misdirection. Thriller writers are like magicians and mind readers; the best of them constantly persuade you to look in the wrong direction, to think about anything but the actual logic of the plot. Of all the stage versions of Christie’s books, The Mousetrap is by far the best, perhaps because of its genesis as a radio play. – The Chicago Tribune
“Old or young, I think this is an exciting show for the whole family so grab your friends and family to see if you are able to solve the mystery of The Mousetrap!” – Voice Magazine, UK
“a play every mystery lover should try and see at least once.” – broadwayworld.com
