Whodunit? The Mousetrap begins performances in Melbourne

The Australian Diamond (60th) Anniversary Tour of Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap previews this evening in Melbourne at The Comedy Theatre ahead of an official opening tomorrow night.

After selling out seasons in Sydney, Canberra and Perth in record time,  there’s no wonder the show has run for 60 years on the West End!

The enduring appeal of Agatha Christie is evident across Australia, so get in fast before tickets sell out in Melbourne and The Mousetrap remains a mystery forever.

Starring Christy Sullivan and Gus Murray as Mollie and Giles Ralston, the young owners of the once-regal estate recently converted into a guesthouse, Justin Smith as Sergeant Trotter, Jacinta John as Miss Casewell, Travis Cotton as Christopher Wren, Linda Cropper as Mrs. Boyle, Nicholas Hoper as Major Metcalf and Robert Alexander as Mr. Paravicini, The Mousetrap is a murder mystery in true Christie style.

Melbourne season runs from tonight until 7 October 2012. Book tickets via ticketmaster.com.au or 136 100
