Overview
- Early reviews commend the production’s aerial stunts, moving seating and pyrotechnics, yet fault a thin adaptation that struggles to build character and emotion.
- Mia Carragher, 21, makes her professional stage debut as Katniss Everdeen, earning notice for athletic, stamina-heavy work in the lead role.
- John Malkovich features as President Snow only via pre‑recorded video, a choice several critics describe as distancing and two‑dimensional.
- Press reports put the combined cost of the purpose-built Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre and launch near £26 million, with premium tickets reaching roughly £200–£365.
- After preview complaints about long queues and late starts, one review reported smoother operations at opening, and the show is booking through October 2026.
