For a band that got its start in Halifax on this same stage, it was fantastic to see The Beaches return and absolutely crush their performance, says Trev. Review and photos on HAFILAX:

Carsten wished he liked Die My Love more. It features a truly raw performance from Jennifer Lawrence that’s probably the best reason to see it, but lacks much in the way of narrative coherence:

Carsten says the emotional heft doesn’t really manifest until Elphaba and Glinda are in the same place at the same time, leaving the rest of Wicked For Good strangely bereft when they aren’t:

Were two parts to Wicked necessary? Carsten would argue not. Yet, this is what we have, and surprisingly, the second half is better than the first:

At no time are we ever in doubt about the main character's emotional keel in Die My Love, with Jennifer Lawrence a raw nerve throughout. She’s simply awesome in this frame, says Carsten, fearless and unpredictable:

The Running Man is recognizably an Edgar Wright effort, clear in the zippy pace, camerawork and rapid-fire editing, says Carsten. But it’s nowhere near as brilliant as we’ve come to expect:
