I really wouldn't bother with The Mousetrap.If you are in the U.K. it's touring in the spring anyway.It seemed a bit of a curio when I saw it in the 70s!
Saying that London theatre isn't great at the moment!

See The Mousetrap, it's a British theatre institution. War Horse too is a must see if you've not already seen it in the US. It's a brilliant play. Other than the long running shows already playing there will be many more, yet to be announced especially at theatres like the National. It's definitely worth looking out for their summer programme. Also look out for what's on at theatres like the Menier Chocolate Factory, the Old Vic, Young Vic, Royal Court and Donmar Warehouse. There's often a great deal of really top quality shows to be found in these theatres.
The cripple of Inishman with Daniel Radcliffe will be on at the noel coward in july as part of the Michael Grandage season, it will have £10 dayseats so if you find yourself with an empty slot Id go for that.
