| Did well in other cities like Boston and DC but not NYC. I’m sure you are referring to perfect crime. | |

| This Bway engagement is sheer madness - it's a terrible play that has now acquired tourist status comparable to the Crown Jewels where no one even bothers to think of it as a piece of theatre - it's more like a London mainstay whose major validation for itself long ago became its longevity. But dusted off and refashioned at Broadway prices? And so reactionary a text? They'd have done better to bring over Lucy Bailey's Witness for the Prosecution: this idea is lunacy. | |

| I just saw this show in London in June. Yes it is a little tired but it was wonderful to actually see this in London in the theatre that has been its home for the last 50 years. I had a great matinee. Maybe they can do the show with a changing cast of well known actors who stay for a limited time. Kind of like Into the Woods which will drive audiences to buy tickets and multi views. I’d like the producers to update the special effects of sound and lighting too build more suspense. | |

| The play’s backstory is quite relevant, about foster care and inadequate social services. It was prominent in See How They Run, the West End production adjacent film released this past summer, though they strained to avoid Mousetrap spoilers. The best character is the culprit but to cast a star alone might give it away. The Knives Out model serves. | |
