This show really exceeded all of our expectations. I came in not expecting to love it as much as I did. Great acting, great costumes, amazing variety in the show. The use of space was fenomenal and very unique. Members of our group had seen the film and some had not, that did not change the enjoyment of the play as the narrative was clearly explained. Fully recommend.

Booking this performance we were incredibly intrigued to see how the use of a 360° stage would be utilised by the actors, wow did they blow us away. The continuous movement to keep every single side of the audience involved. The stage floor moving as well as some seats made this show exceptional!

Though we think that the performance attracts younger audience, we in our late 50s enjoyed it very much! The lighting and the special effects were amazing. The story was cleverly condensed from the film, the actors played each characters brilliantly. And the costumes were fantastic!

I went to see *The Hunger Games* with my two teenagers. We all loved it—it felt like we were experiencing the games live. I recommend this show 1000%. Thanks to the actors—they were incredible.

We had already seen *The Phantom of the Opera* this week and loved it, but the live performances in *The Hunger Games* took it to a whole new level. The lead actress completely carried the production, and the other actors did a really great job. The atmosphere, the sound, and the effects, as well as the transformable arena, made it a ton of fun to watch. A must-see. Of course, it helps to be familiar with Part 1, since this one is a very faithful adaptation of it—but live. 1++

There were problems with the props in the second act and the performance had to be stopped for about 15 minutes. I felt the role of Katniss was constrained in having to explain the story to the audience throughout the performance.
