New musical Shucked may be corny but it’s terrific fun too – review

Kicking off the 2025 season at the Open Air Theatre is Shucked, a new musical that ran on Broadway during 2023-2024 and is now making its European debut in London. The show has a book by Robert Horn, music and lyrics by Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally, and is directed by Jack O’Brien. So what’s it all…

Chappell Roan on ‘villain’ status: “If I do not stand up for myself, I will quit”

admin, , , ,

Chappell Roan has addressed her so-called status as a ‘villain’. The lesbian icon recently appeared on Ts Madison’s podcast series, Outlaws, alongside her drag mother Sasha Colby, where she reflected on her record-breaking rise to fame and her refusal to conform to the pop music industry’s expectations. Since her commercial breakthrough with ‘Good Luck, Babe!’, one of the biggest hits of 2024, Roan has faced unfair criticism for calling out “creepy” fan behaviour, confronting disrespectful photographers on red carpets, and refusing to publicly “endorse” Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential…

Lady Gaga is now just one award away from achieving the most coveted honour in entertainment: the EGOT.

All-star cast bring Sondheim’s final musical Here We Are to the National Theatre – review

admin, , , ,

Where to begin with Here We Are? It’s the final show from Stephen Sondheim – an absolute titan of musical theatre, who wrote the lyrics, or lyrics and music, for West Side Story, Gypsy, Sweeney Todd and countless more – and it’s making its European premiere in London at the National Theatre, following a short off-Broadway run in 2023. This production has Tony-winning director Joe Mantello at the helm, and features a hugely impressive cast. Did we also mention that it’s absolutely, certifiably, completely ridiculous? So, yes, where to begin…

“Mmm”: Orville Peck’s raunchy new photo leaves queer celebs thirsty AF

admin, , , ,

Orville Peck‘s latest thirst-trap has been declared the “hottest photo to ever exist”. On Sunday (4 May), the country superstar shared a photo dump on Instagram capturing moments from his time on Broadway, where he’s currently starring as the Emcee in Cabaret. Peck opened the photo dump with a cheeky shot of himself lounging in a chair wearing nothing but tartan shorts (or perhaps long boxers), his bare chest, legs, and feet fully on display. Notably absent was his signature mask—replaced instead by a low-slung baseball cap that partially obscured…
