Solve the world's longest-running murder mystery

Since 1952, Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap has enthralled audiences in the heart of London, becoming the longest-running play in theatre history. With its silent clues, shifting suspicions and one of the best kept secrets ever written, this legendary thriller continues to keep the West End guessing night after night.

Now booking into a record-breaking 75th year, this landmark production remains as thrilling as ever. A shocking murder. Seven strangers snowed in at a remote country guesthouse. A police sergeant arrives with a warning no one expects.

Cut off from the outside world, suspicion falls on everyone as secrets unravel and tensions rise. Every whisper hides a clue. Every story masks a lie. And as fear tightens its grip, one question lingers in the air: Who among them is capable of murder?

Step inside the St Martin’s Theatre and solve the genre-defying whodunnit for yourself.

The manor awaits.

17-time Grammy Award winning artist Sting will perform in this new production of his musical, The Last Ship; featuring a new book by Barney Norris, direction by Leo Warner with Set and Video Design by 59 Studio.

Rooted in his own childhood in the British shipbuilding town of Wallsend, The Last Ship tells the moving story of a community of shipbuilders in the North East of England, faced with the closure of their shipyard – the heart of their existence.

Sting takes on the role of Jackie White, the shipyard’s foreman whose health is failing just as his leadership is needed most. In this very personal show, the artist immerses the audience in the hometown he was desperate to escape, a world where love, loss, and hope intertwine.

Sting’s beloved songs such as Island of Souls, All This Time, and When We Dance are woven into the performance in this fully staged, large-scale production featuring a company of over 50.

The Last Ship has been seen across the globe this year, with hugely successful runs in Amsterdam, Brisbane, Paris, and Metropolitan Opera in New York this June with Sting performing in every show.

Cameron Mackintosh’s legendary production of Boublil and Schonberg’s Les Misérables is now the world’s longest running musical, a global stage sensation at the heart of the West End. Les Misérables is a musical adaptation of Victor Hugo’s great humanitarian novel of one man’s determined survival in the face of another’s vengeful persecution. Set amid the social and political struggles of 19th century France, West End favourite Les Misérables tells the story of former prisoner Jean Valjean, who is pursued for decades by his policeman nemesis, Javert. Their epic cat-and-mouse journey will take them from the French fields to the gritty Parisian sewers, amidst an enthralling story of broken dreams, unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption – a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. The international award-winning musical sweeps its audience through an epic tale of passion and destruction, against the backdrop of a nation in the grip of revolution. Having started life as a French-language concept album in 1983, producer Cameron Mackintosh worked in conjunction with the Royal Shakespeare Company to adapt the French musical for a British audience, with the resulting show opening at the Barbican Centre in October 1985. A West End transfer soon followed, along with a Broadway production, and the rest is record-setting history. The dramatic score of Les Misérables includes numbers such as On My Own, One Day More and Do You Hear The People Sing? Its best known song, perhaps, is I Dreamed A Dream, made famous through numerous cover versions by artists ranging from Katherine Jenkins to Susan Boyle. Now, seen by more than 120 million people worldwide in 52 countries and in 22 languages, this spectacular musical adaptation of Victor Hugo’s masterpiece continues to thrill audiences night after night in London’s West End. Join the people’s crusade – book Les Misérables tickets for the West End today. And if you’re a teacher/careers advisor, Education Packs for this show (and more) are available in our Schools Resources area. Looking to see some musical theatre?

Experience the thrill of the West End’s most haunting love story, as Phantom Of The Opera enters its 40th year, marking four extraordinary decades at His Majesty’s Theatre.

Cameron Mackintosh’s production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom Of The Opera is widely considered one of the world’s most beautiful and spectacular musicals. Since 1986, Phantom Of The Opera has become a global phenomenon, with productions playing to 160 million people in 219 cities, 54 territories and in 23 languages. Lloyd Webber’s celebrated romantic and soaring score includes The Music of the Night, All I Ask of You, Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again, Masquerade and the iconic title song.

Phantom Of The Opera tells the haunting story of Christine Daaé, a young soprano whose extraordinary voice enchants a mysterious masked figure known as The Phantom. A brilliant yet tormented musical genius, The Phantom dwells in the depths of the Paris Opera House, casting fear over all who inhabit it.

Drawn to Christine’s sensational talent, The Phantom becomes her mentor, believing she alone can truly bring his music to life, and as he guides her from the shadows, he falls deeply and dangerously in love.

When Christine is reunited with her childhood sweetheart, Raoul, now the young patron of the Opera House, she has to wrestle with the unpredictable nature of a powerful love triangle. The Phantom’s obsession with his new star sets off a dramatic turn of events where devotion, jealousy and passions collide.
