I spy you including this in your Buzz hype chart Theo

Sounds like an interesting concept with Anna Kendrick's story being told in reverse whilst the male lead goes in order, with the stories meeting in the middle. Also told almost entirely through song - could get complicated but I think it looks very good.

This seems to be showing exclusively at the Empire in Leicester Square from Friday, kinda fitting with it being the heart of the West End but also disappointing that I won't be able to use my Unlimited card. Booked to see it next Monday anyway so hopefully it's worth the extra cost.

Oh I didn't realise this was already out! I watched the trailer a while back and read that it originated on Broadway so that was the main reason for my hype! Unfortunately I cannot afford to attend Empire in Leicester Square so I will have to find a link for this online. Let me know if you thought it was any good!

It was DECENT but not much more unfortunately! The constant singing combined with jumping around in time was all a bit much for me and Jeremy Jordan's character wasn't very likable. I thought the stories were going to meet in the middle but they carried on past that which threw me off a bit.

The only songs that got lodged in my head were the clips used in the trailer.
