ABOUT THE SHOW:
When a snowdrift stops the Orient Express, an American tycoon is discovered murdered in a locked compartment. Agatha Christie’s classic locked‑room mystery, adapted by Tony-nominated playwright Ken Ludwig, becomes a fast‑moving, witty, and theatrical whodunit. Balancing razor‑sharp plotting with buoyant comic energy, Detective Hercule Poirot races to unmask a killer among a trainload of colorful suspects.
Ludwig’s comic twists lift the period glitz and moral dilemma into laugh‑out‑loud theatricality while preserving Christie’s ingenious plot. Expect elegant 1930’s style, a brilliant detective, an ensemble of flamboyant suspects, and a crowd‑pleasing climax that will leave you guessing and grinning. Join us for an evening of suspense, glamour, intrigue, and laughter.
“A murder mystery with a wink—brisk, witty, and utterly satisfying.” — The Daily Herald
