    This is a wonderful theatre. The wooden balconies are beautiful it really give the theatre such delightful character. The foyer is small but we'll equipped the staff are magnificent and really feel as though they are presenting the theatre as another member of their staff, is was a absolute pleasure to go here and see the mousetrap

    I had such a wonderful experience watching The Mousetrap. Being an avid Agatha Christie reader and big fan, my expectations were high. But they were met! The cast was brilliant and the theatre, though on the smaller side, rather lovely, comfortable and welcoming. The atmosphere was very friendly and it seemed that everyone was having a good time! A huge variety of different ages, which was very cool to see!

    First time there to see the Mousetrap play by Agatha Cristie. Very good cast and very good acting, we really enjoyed it. The theatre itself is rather small, seatings are very close together, the seats aren't very comfortable and not very much room, especially in the Upper Stalls. If you're tall/long legs, it will be tight. Also, be quick to the bar if you don't want to queue too long.

    We celebrated our last night in London enjoying The Mousetrap at the beautiful St. Martin's Theatre. What a delightful and funny play! The actors were wonderful and gifted us with an unforgettable performance.

    This was a great experience. We went here to see the “mousetrap” which is a murder mystery story. The entire thing was fantastic from start to finish. The staff were very friendly and the show was very good. I’d definitely recommend this as a nice afternoon activity!

    Classic West End playhouse, currently home to The Mousetrap, v long-running Agatha Christie drama. Special arrangements apply at the moment: book online and click the link in the SMS text on your mobile to see special webpage. FAQs there are v useful. Can order refreshments before performance or in the interval, and they're delivered to your seat. Early arrival requested. Face coverings not essential, but many patrons wear them. I know what you want to know, though: "who's the killer?" right? Well, we're not s'posed to say, but if you promise not to spread it round, I can exclusively reveal that the murderer is.... aaaaauugh

    Booked the Mousetrap from US 4 months ahead of time to get the best seats and prices. Dress circle B 7,8 had a wonderful view, isle seat plenty of leg room. Quaint theater, classic decor complements the theme of the Christie play, great acoustics, very nice staff. The Mousetrap is a wonderful AC play, amusing, entertaining and full of surprises and at the end the audience is asked to keep the ending a secret. There is a small gift shop and a bar. Ladies restrooms are down a very steep staircase, clean.

    We enjoyed The Mousetrap here! It’s an amazing show, quite enjoyable. I do recommend that if you’re going to be jet-lagged in London you wait a few nights to enjoy this. It’s amazing.. but in a warm, dark theatre at 8:30pm… zzzz

    Very historical theatre, home of Mousetrap (the longest running play in the world). Had seating in Upper Circle - the view was fairly good and the legroom was tight but fine. Make sure to visit the Upper Circle bar for posters from the shows history. And also make sure to head downstairs to see which number show you are watching (we were seeing the 28,994th performance!).

    Long standing theatre which has an old fashioned charm about it. The theatre itself is quite small which makes the show more interactive. The staff were also helpful and gave cushion seat boosters to children when asked.

    We went here to see The Mousetrap and it was fantastic. The acting was top notch. The theatre itself was also quite cosy and arranged in a way that you can see the stage clearly from all angles. We were sat in the dress circle (seats E21 and E22) and we had a great view of the stage.

    Went to see the Mousetrap, in this super old theatre, I was in the upper tier, where you really did feel "in the gods" a great experience! I am not at liberty to discuss the play, other than to recommend going to see it !

    Lovely little theatre, full of character. We visited to see The Mousetrap and loved it. Fun whodunnit which kept you guessing. The view from row G in the stalls is excellent and has extra legroom as there is a walkway. Staff were generally friendly. The theatre suffers from the same problem as lots of old London theatres - there didn’t seem to be any ventilation and I’m not sure about accessibility with all the stairs. Definitely worth contacting the theatre if this is a concern for you.

    Nice theater, good acoustic. Watched the mouse trap. The show was alright but the acting was very good. The seating at the upper level was uncomfortable, very tight. Not much snacks available at obviously pretty expensive.

    Attending Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap" at Theatre St. Martin was thoroughly enjoyable. Our show, the 29,375th performance, was brilliantly executed, making for a memorable and engaging evening. The only minor drawback was the champagne served in plastic cups, but we took it with humor :) It was a fantastic experience which I can highly recommend to all mystery enthusiasts!

    If you’re at St Martins then you’re at Mousetrap! 29729, that’s mine, I’ll always remember it, as I live in Australia I may never see it again! What a great experience, thank you to all the actors. Great show! Real acting, great stage, and an intimate theatre which set the scene the moment you walked through the door. But shhh 🤫, no ending!

    The performance was incredible. Definitely recommend everyone to go and see. It's all stripped back and no crazy AI or visual effects like modern theatre shows. It's been running for 70 years and perfected overt the years but the actors was brilliant and adding slight modern twists. If you want a laugh and find out who dunnit. Go and watch it ☺️ The theatre is historic, and it’s quite small and dated decor. However so much character and interesting facts. The seats isn't the best as it squeaks when you move and if you are a bigger person you may have issues with the seat. There's enough leg room where I sat (partner 5'11) Row E20 and E21. I would recommend sitting in the stall at the front. The back you may miss half of the stage due to the ceiling blocking the view. Down and upstairs bar is small and narrow. Definitely recommend ordering interval drinks. Toilets are small and dated. Not much room to move around especially when it's busy. But overall definitely worth going to see the show.

    The Mousetrap, London. World's Longest running play. Gripping, clever, suspenseful and surprisingly comedic. Another Agatha Christie's whodunnit. Fantastic performances by the cast. Highly recommended.

    Do you love a whodunnit? Enjoy mystery? And like spooky fun?… if the answer is “Elementary My Dear Watson!” Then you might enjoy visiting St Martins theatre. The building’s architecture and classical atmosphere makes it a very enjoyable theatre experience. The Mousetrap is the longest running play in London with more than 70 years on stage. And it is very relevant and enjoyable still. Definitely a must see.

    Security checks and e-tockets were in place for my visit. Ample leg room when seated. Mask wearing for audience during the performance was encouraged though not fully observed

  • 3/5 Antony Amalraj M. 7 months ago on Google
    Very small theatre. Felt the acoustics of the theatre definitely needs some improvement. The show was great but I wasn't able to enjoy the performance to the fullest. The ventilation was bad as well. Overall, I was glad to be a part of this spectacular ongoing series that's already a part of the Guinness book of records.

    This was a great first time London live theater experience. The Mouse Trap was amazing. The theater was part of the show itself. It added the atmosphere and retro feel to the show. The building is classic and it shows. I loved the architecture and designs.

  • 5/5 Aggelos D. 1 year ago on Google
    This was our first visit in London, and honestly one of the best experiences we had on our trip was the play we had the chance to watch. We really enjoyed Mousetrap. Actors were amazing, they presented the Agatha Christie's play in a beautiful and pleasant way. Great job!!! The theatre has a nice view even from the upper floor. You can hear the dialogues no matter where you are seated. Recommended!!!!!!!!!

  • 3/5 Ammar A. 2 years ago on Google
    We went to watch the theatre show called Mousetrap, which was genuinely enjoyed by myself and my family. The acting was brilliant and kept us engaged for the complete duration of the show. However, the seats in the upper gallery were absolutely horrendous and in all honesty, a complete safety hazard. The stairs are too steep and the theatre is poorly lit which is a recipe for disaster. The railings are also not high enough to protect someone from falling in case they slip. The old wooden seats are put too close to each other, such that a slight movement will disturb a fellow viewer. And forget being able to sit with your legs in a comfortable position if you are any taller than 5’2.

    Great show lovely old theatre seats were roomy but leg room was an issue but its an old building. Great app to pre order refreshment. Would visit again.

    Great little theatre. For watching a Who Done It #moustrap

  • 4/5 Tigershout 2 years ago on Google
    Good acoustics, well ventilated & lots of leg room. Around £7.50 for a g&t, which seems the norm. Clean and small, although the bathrooms were pretty unpleasant & in desperate need of a refurb. Performances bar the wife were all fantastic & a great Sunday afternoon show.

    Went to see The Mousetrap and enjoyed the experience. We had all sorts of trouble.. We came in Tuesday night and part way through the play there were difficulties and the show was cancelled. We were quickly given vouchers and booked for the next night and came back only to realize I'd rebooked on the wrong night. But the staff were so helpful and kind they let me switch my ticket right there and got us in. I appreciated their help.
