at once

Charles is at once a Renaissance man and a Luddite.

“He could smell out condescension, a slight, an air of superiority or a snub at a thousand paces; and at once smelt, he could charge after it with quite shocking abandon.”

“At the time, there were so many things happening at once out of nowhere, we didn’t really have time to think, ‘I wonder how we’re doing with this?’

“We're talking about National Insurance, National Living Wage, we're talking about business rates. We have packaging and recycling taxes coming in. That's a lot of pressure on business all at once,” he said.

But “Wicked” will delight fans of the stage production as a faithful adaptation that is at once playful but reverent to the iconic “Defying Gravity.”
