Les Misérables actors to boycott Kennedy Center performance over Trump attendance
At least 10 cast members from the current North American touring production of Les Misérables are choosing not to participate in an upcoming performance at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, in order to boycott the anticipated attendance of Donald Trump, according to CNN. Cast members were reportedly given the option to opt out of the 11 June show. The production has not publicly identified which individuals will not be performing. This performance coincides with a fundraising event Trump is hosting to support the Kennedy Center. Since becoming chair of the theater's board in February, the president has reshaped the board with his own appointees, and the former Kennedy Center president Deborah Rutter has been replaced by the Trump ally Richard Grenell. Related: Kennedy Center director snipes at musician for 'vapidness' over DEI concerns In a statement shared with the Guardian, Grenell said that those at the Kennedy Center 'haven't heard this rumor'. He added that the center 'will no longer fund intolerance. Any performer who isn't professional enough to perform for patrons of all backgrounds, regardless of political affiliation, won't be welcomed.' Grenell continued: 'In fact, we think it would be important to out those vapid and intolerant artists to ensure producers know who they shouldn't hire – and that the public knows which shows have political litmus tests to sit in the audience. 'The Kennedy Center wants to be a place where people of all political stripes sit next to each other and never ask who someone voted for but instead enjoys a performance together.' It was reported by the New York Times that on 6 May, a House committee approved a proposed $257m budget allocation for the Kennedy Center, after Trump had publicly criticized the condition of the building. The president's request for funding follows his recent moves to cut federal support for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). These cuts could result in rescinded grants for non-profit theaters across the country if approved by Congress. Several arts organizations have sued the NEA over its new requirements following Trump's executive order barring the use of federal funds for the promotion of 'gender ideology'. The boycott by Les Misérables cast members is the latest in a string of stars pulling out of shows and positions at the center since Trump assumed control. Several shows have been called off, including a stop of the Hamilton tour that was canceled by the production itself, and Finn, a coming-of-age story about a young shark, which was canceled by the Kennedy Center. Trump had previously posted on social media expressing his desire to eliminate 'drag shows' and 'woke' content from the venue, but did not clarify which productions he was targeting. During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump had used music from Les Misérables during his campaign rallies, which the co-creators of the musical publicly decried.

Drake And PARTYNEXTDOOR Announce Summer 2025 Overseas Tour '$ome $pecial $hows 4 U'
Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR have one of the most popular projects of the year, and now they're bringing the function overseas. The duo recently announced a joint tour, $ome $pecial $hows 4 U, with stops in Europe and the United Kingdom. They let the world know they'll be hitting the road once again via Instagram in a collaborative post with the Drake Related page earlier this week.

Drizzy will be joined by PND and Summer Walker the first night, 'The Mandem' on the second, and Burna Boy and Vybz Kartel on the final evening.

They'll then take a quick break before making stops in Birmingham, Manchester, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Milan, Paris, and Berlin. The tour will end in September with two shows in Hamburg, Germany. Tickets go on sale this Friday (June 6) on either or This will be Drake's second tour of 2025, following his trek through Australia back in February.

The tour was unfortunately cut short due to scheduling conflicts, but the 38-year-old artist promised Australia that he wouldn't let another decade pass by before coming back to perform. PARTYNEXTDOOR joined him down under right around when they released their joint album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U on Valentine's Day. $$$4U is a 21-song effort that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the Billboard Hot 100 No. 2 hit 'Nokia.'

'Wicked: For Good' trailer drops today: Here's how to watch
Get ready to be changed "for good," because the trailer for the second " Wicked" film debuts Wednesday. According to a Universal Pictures press release, fans will get a "special first look" at the new trailer for "Wicked: For Good" -- the second half of the two-part "Wicked" film series -- on Wednesday evening, when the first "Wicked" film returns to theaters for a special one-night-only screening. The trailer will debut simultaneously in all North American time zones at more than 100 theater locations in the U.S. and Canada, according to the press release, "so that all attendees will be able to see the trailer at once, no matter where they live." Screenings will take place at 3 p.m. PT, 4 p.m. MT, 5 p.m. CT and 6 p.m. ET. Moviegoers who watch the film in theaters Wednesday will also receive exclusive "Wicked: For Good" giveaways, including an exclusive "Wicked: For Good" commemorative poster, according to the press release. The trailer will also be shared online following the screenings. Last month, the official "Wicked" movie account shared a video on Instagram featuring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo announcing the exciting news about the "Wicked: For Good" trailer. "You will be changed," Grande said, before Erivo added, "For good," a reference to the musical's hit song "For Good." Earlier this week, Universal Pictures further teased the trailer with an epic video featuring Erivo as Elphaba, Grande as Glinda and the rest of the cast. A synopsis for "Wicked: For Good" states that the upcoming film "follows Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the West and her relationship with Glinda, the Good Witch of the North." In 2022, "Wicked" director Jon M. Chu announced that "Wicked" would be split into two films as offering "more space" to tell the story "as it was meant to be told." The first "Wicked" film was released in November 2024. The cast also includes Jeff Goldblum as the Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible. Jonathan Bailey stars as Fiyero, while Ethan Slater plays Boq and Marissa Bode plays Nessarose. "Wicked" earned 10 Oscar nominations at the 97th Academy Awards and won two: best costume design and best production design. Erivo was nominated for best actress and Grande was also nominated for best supporting actress. The films are based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 book, "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West," which was inspired by L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." The musical adaptation of Maguire's story opened on Broadway in 2003. The original cast included Kristin Chenoweth as Glinda, Idina Menzel as Elphaba and Robert Morse as the Wizard. Norbert Leo Butz played Fiyero, Michelle Federer portrayed Nessarose and Carole Shelley played Madame Morrible.
