Among those is Jamala, the artist who took her country to Eurovision victory just six years…

But I’m A Cheerleader: The Musical is a wonderfully camp take on cult queer classic film – review

We’ve been big fans of the Turbine Theatre since it opened back in 2019 – whether reviving important queer stories like Torch Song or My Night With Reg, or programming new and joyous shows like My Son’s A Queer (But What Can You Do?), their work has consistently impressed us. But I’m A Cheerleader: The Musical is no exception – it’s a wonderfully camp take on the cult queer classic film from 1999. For those unfamiliar, it’s a quirky coming-of-age comedy about sexual awakening and self-realisation. It tells the story…

Russia will still be allowed to compete in 2022’s Eurovision Song Contest, despite its invasion of Ukraine.

There have also been reports of explosions and artillery fire across the country, including around its capital city, Kyiv.…
