The Queen of Versailles review – Kristin Chenoweth goes big in unwieldy Broadway musical

Like the US Capitol a century later, Versailles, that magnificent and ludicrously opulent monument to the French monarchy, was built on questionable grounds: marshland. Many in King Louis XIV’s circle side-eyed his decision to relocate the court to a swampy village miles outside Paris, site of a royal hunting lodge and great potential folly. But he did it anyway – the wetland drained, the sand imported, the running water laboriously engineered...

Addison Rae review – glorious fantasy from pop’s newest star

On stage, two grand wrought iron-style gates merge seamlessly with the Forum theatre’s famous Greco-Roman statues. Their curlicued bars twist into a giant A, seemingly inspired by the scribbles teenagers have inked in notebooks everywhere since Edward Scissorhands mainstreamed goths in 1990.

In the past decade, Amy Schumer and Tiffany Haddish serve as the only two examples. Now, Nikki Glaser joins the select group...

Welcome to the great unwokening of Hollywood! Shame no one can be bothered to turn up

I was on a walk around my local area in London when I was stopped in my tracks by a young man sauntering past me, wearing stone-wash jeans, a pair of shades and a “Reagan-Bush ’84” T-shirt.

A quick search informed me that for gen-Z rightwingers in the US, it has...
