The world of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express is pulling into the station — and today, we’re thrilled to introduce the extraordinary cast and creative team, led by legendary director Morris Panych, bringing this iconic mystery to life beginning March 4.

Detective Hercule Poirot is aboard the Orient Express when an unlikeable wealthy American is murdered. As the debonair detective investigates, he encounters a cast of intriguing passengers, including the glamorous Mrs. Hubbard and the enigmatic Princess Dragomiroff. With his unparalleled eye for detail and keen instincts, Poirot uncovers secrets and motives as he seeks the truth behind the murder in this suspenseful tale of deception, revenge and justice.

Led by a powerhouse company of performers and visionary designers, this production transforms the stage into a luxurious 1930s railcar packed with secrets, suspense, and unforgettable characters. At the centre of it all? The meticulous Hercule Poirot, played by Daniel Kash, determined to solve a murder before the train reaches its final stop.

Climb aboard, meet the artists behind the ride of the season, and secure your seats before they disappear.
