Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express — Starring Rob Bartlett as Hercule Poirot
Broadway veteran and acclaimed comedian Rob Bartlett takes on the iconic role of Hercule Poirot in Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express at Manes Studio Theatre.
Known to millions from his more than 30 years as a writer and performer on the nationally syndicated Imus in the Morning, Bartlett is also a Broadway veteran whose credits include Chicago, Little Shop of Horrors, The Odd Couple with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying with Daniel Radcliffe.
Now, Bartlett steps into the shoes of Agatha Christie’s legendary detective Hercule Poirot in one of the most celebrated murder mysteries of all time.
When the luxurious Orient Express is stopped in its tracks by a snowdrift, a passenger is discovered murdered—and the killer may still be aboard. With the train stranded and a car full of intriguing suspects, Poirot must use his famous powers of deduction to unravel a maze of clues, secrets, motives, and lies.
Everyone is a suspect. Everyone has something to hide.
Filled with suspense, humor, colorful characters, and ingenious twists, Murder on the Orient Express brings Agatha Christie’s classic whodunit to life in a thrilling theatrical experience.
Bartlett’s television credits include Law &amp; Order: SVU, Ugly Betty, The Good Wife, and Elementary.
Climb aboard the Orient Express and see Rob Bartlett as Hercule Poirot in Agatha Christie’s legendary murder mystery—live at Manes Studio Theatre.
Performing through September 13th
