Murder on the Orient Express

Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express is a stylish, suspenseful mystery that traps a killer aboard the world’s most famous train.

Just after midnight, the luxurious Orient Express is halted by a snowdrift, and by morning an American tycoon lies dead in his locked compartment, stabbed multiple times with no obvious way in or out. With the train stranded and a murderer still on board, legendary Belgian detective Hercule Poirot must untangle a web of alibis and secrets, before the killer can strike again.

Poirot interrogates a gallery of international suspects—a glamorous countess, a nervous secretary, a stiff‑necked colonel, a formidable American matron, a mysterious governess, and more—each with something to hide and a possible motive for revenge.

Christie’s classic novel inspired the 1974 movie with Albert Finney as Poirot alongside Lauren Bacall, Ingrid Bergman, Sean Connery, Vanessa Redgrave, and John Gielgud. The 2017 film starred Kenneth Branagh, with an ensemble including Penélope Cruz, William Dafoe, Judi Dench, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Daisy Ridley.

This stage adaptation delivers all the glamour, wit, and twists of those films—live and up close—inviting audiences to ride the rails with Poirot and try to solve the crime before he does.
