Agatha Christie’s West End hit Heads to Broadway After 70 years  

The world’s longest-running play, The Mousetrap, which marks its 70th anniversary today, is to open on Broadway for the first time next year.

Agatha Christie’s whodunit premiered in London’s West End on 25 November 1952, and the writer initially thought it might run for only eight months.

But it has since become a West End fixture, being performed almost 29,000 times and seen by 10 million people.
