The world's longest-running play was first staged in London in 1952 and has never been performed in New York - it will open there next year.
Tickets for the Broadway version of The Mousetrap will go on sale in the new year, with full production details and the cast to be announced in due course.
A special cartoon, drawn by Nick Newman of The Sunday Times and Private Eye, has also been created to commemorate the play's anniversary and a special midday matinee performance took place today in recognition of the vast number of people who have worked and continue to work on the production.A 70th anniversary touring production of the play opened in Nottingham in September and will continue to perform at more than 70 venues across the UK and Ireland.
Christie's play continues to make history in London. The original 1952 cast included husband-and-wife Richard Attenborough and Sheila Sim, and the 50th-anniversary performance in 2002 was attended by Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh. For the first time in 68 years, The Mousetrap was forced to turn off its lights in March 2020, due to the effects of the
pandemic, reopening its doors on 17 May 2021 and marking the official reopening of the West End after the national lockdown.
