The live theatrical production has been adapted by Conor McPherson from both Suzanne Collins’s bestselling novel and Lionsgate’s blockbuster film.<\/p>\n

Mia, a graduate of Tring Park School for the Performing Arts, also trained at The Lee Strasberg Theatre.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She’s no stranger to screen work, having appeared in the independent film One Night in Istanbul, Channel 4<\/a> drama The Gathering, and will soon be seen in the new Playground Entertainment series Maigret.<\/p>\n

On landing the coveted part, Mia said: ‘I am so excited and honoured to be playing Katniss.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘This is a dream-come-true role, and I cannot wait to see the production come to life.<\/p>\n

‘From being a huge fan of the films, I feel so lucky to be a part of the Hunger Games world, especially working with Mathew Dunster and an incredible creative team.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

The show had its preview night last month and some fans were left unimpressed as they complained there were lengthy delays.<\/p>\n

Footage shared on TikTok<\/a> showed spectators queuing outside the theatre at 7:30pm, when the show was due to start, with some posting it eventually started an hour late.<\/p>\n

Many then moaned that due to the three-hour run time and interval, this meant they didn’t exit the venue until 11:45pm.<\/p>\n

Despite this, some fans admitted they still enjoyed the show, with several taking to social media to praise its take on the famous tale of Panem.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One video showed the long queue of fans waiting to enter the theatre, alongside the caption: ‘When the hunger games on stage starts at 7:30 and this is the line at 7:29.’<\/p>\n

Posts on X included: ‘The Hunger Games live on stage start time: 8:30. Interval: 10pm End of show: 11:45pm. That’s 3h15 running time for the first preview;<\/p>\n

‘Well the first preview of The Hunger Games on stage is a night I’m never going to forget;<\/p>\n

‘Everyone who survived the first preview of The Hunger Games, we need a support group’.<\/p>\n

Some fans did share their enjoyment of the show, writing: ‘Had to leave The Hunger Games early, was actually enjoying it despite the shambles of getting into the venue<\/p>\n

‘While the theatre was a nightmare, the hunger games on stage as a show was very good<\/p>\n
