Everything is wrapped up neatly and there are a lot of fun theater and broadway jokes. This gave it the points. Otherwise...I didn't feel the characters earned it. Other than Beckett, I didn't feel like there was much character growth at all. Still, glad the series got an ending.

OMG THIS WAS THE BEST ENDING TO THE MOST AMAZING COMIC/BOOK SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so sad that this is over, but I know this world is going to be one I revisit over and over again. It's just such a feel-good world full of magic and love and queerness and acceptance. It's brilliant.
The way this world was wrapped up was done wonderfully and we FINALLY got answers to how and what the Backstage really is. I thought the mythology of it was wonderful and the artefacts were really cool.
SASHA IS THE HERO OF EVERY STORY BUT OHMYGOSH I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Aziz, oh that hurt having him beg for his best friend. The power of platonic soulmates is endless.
I love the treasure hunt vibe of this one, of searing for the artefacts and having to pass the tests, that was all super freaking cool. But the main point was about working together and the strength of their friendship which was really beautiful.
Everything was done really wonderfully and I really want to go watch a bunch of theatre shows now!
