FIVE-STAR GENERAL

Thank you for the great issues you’ve produced during lockdown. I noticed that there hasn’t been a five-star review for several consecutive issues (three at least). Is this the longest run in Empire history? I thought Will Ferrell’s Eurovision film might have come close, purely for the songs.

Happily, if you turn to page 35, the five-star drought has ended with a certain musical that doesn’t throw away its shot. Make sure you read it in the room where it happens. Something something The Story Of Tonight (Reprise). Etc.
