For mystery fans, it doesn’t get much better than Syracuse Stage’s ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ (review)

As part of their 50th Anniversary season, Syracuse Stage presents “Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express,” adapted for the stage, from Christie’s 1934 novel, by playwright Ken Ludwig of “Lend Me a Tenor” fame, and directed by Stage’s artistic director, Robert Hupp.

For mystery fans out there, it doesn’t get much better than a piece by the “Queen of Crime,” acted out, live, with taut precision, by an ensemble of experienced actors. This 12-member ensemble doesn’t disappoint in creating the iconic “types” often found in the Christie canon.
