Inside the utter ‘shambles’ of the The Hunger Games: On Stage’s opening night"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Hunger Games: On Stage had its first premier last night as the previews opened for the long awaited theatrical adaptation – but what should have been a huge occasion filled with spectacle was branded “a mess”. The Hunger Games: On Stage opened at its purpose built Troubadour theatre in Canary Wharf – and the images coming out of the arena, in-the-round staging look impressive. But what was less impressive is the TikTok’s coming out about the ‘shambles’ regarding The Hunger Games:<\/a> On Stage which included delays, accessibility complaints and massive queues.<\/p>\n

The Hunger Games: On Stage hit a shaky start<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The audience were all volunteering as tributes to mayhem it seems. Mia Carragher, daughter of Scouse footballer Jamie, is starring as Katniss and veteran actor John Malkovich stars as President Snow – but their performances were the least important part of the headlines after everything unfolded.<\/p>\n

The “shambles” happened before the venue even opened and The Hunger Games: On Stage began.<\/p>\n

Huge queues as venue wasn’t open five minutes after the show was meant to start<\/strong><\/h4>\n
