Reviews by KarenGot a great seat through a £25 rush ticket from TodayTix.
This was a very funny dark comedy about a dysfunctional family with a terminally ill father and 3 grown up siblings who don’t get on. The ending was quite abrupt but the rest of it was good.
It stars David Harbour and Bill Pulman and seemed to have no under studies for the Saturday matinee.
The theatre is quite small and the stalls are possibly quite close to a tune tunnel as every so often I could hear and feel rumbling.

This is an origin story of sorts for Buzz Lightyear and is the movie Andy’s toy was based on.
It is about space ranger Buzz, who ends up marooning a spaceship full of people on a plant. He then decides to make it his mission to figure out how to make their hyperdrive work again, but each time he tests it more time passes on the planet than it does for Buzz.
It was an enjoyable animated adventure.

This comedy stars Emma Thompson as a widowed retired RE teacher who wants to broaden her sexual experiences, so she hires a sex worker.
The film is reanably short and has some amusing moments, but nothing hilarious.

This is billed as the finale to the Jurassic Park and World franchises and brings together the surviving main casts from both to try to help humans and dinosaurs to co-exist.
There are some exciting sequences, in-jokes from previous movies and as there maybe no more Jurassic movies you don’t know who is safe and who isn’t.

I got on the day £30 Rush Tickets from TodayTix. It was a good stalls ticket with a face value that seemed to be £80.
The alternate played the lead, and 2 understudies were on & they, along with the rest of the cast, were very good.
The musical tells the story of Evan Hansen, who is a teenager with social anxiety who, following a misunderstanding, then finds himself into fabricating stories about a friendship he never had with a classmate who committed suicide.
Despite the subject matter, there are funny elements and some good songs, and if it weren’t closing later this year, I would consider seeing it again in the future – although the space in the toilets is incredibly cramped!
