One anonymous comment calls the outing good but too expensive for them; another offers very brief praise. The other two cards have no written reasons.

All four complete anonymous cards read: 17 March 2018, 4 January 2017, 31 March 2017 and another 17 March 2018 card. One calls the event good but too expensive for them; another has only very brief praise, and two are score-only. The January 2017 card predates that March’s listing.
