The Mousetrap premiered at Theatre Royal Nottingham in 1952 and toured the U.K.

In 2022, it was announced that The Mousetrap would come to Broadway.
The producers behind the West End production of the play initially said
the work would bow on the Main Stem in 2023, but a Broadway production
has yet to materialize.
The Mousetrap is produced by Brian Fenty.
