The top London theatre shows according to our critics
What is it? Transferring from the Open Air Theatre after an acclaimed run last summer, rising star US director Jordan Fein's take on the classic shtetl-set musical transfers to the Barbican ahead of a UK tour. Where is it? Barbican Centre. How much is it? £25-£165. Why go? Fein masterfully balances the musical's two sides – the stand-up-style humour and the dark forshadowing of the Holocaust – by playing it as a sort of absurdist clown show. US star Adam Dannheisser is excellent as a restrained, dignifiede take on milkman protagonist Teyve.

WWE WrestleMania 41 was full of action. On Night 2, John Cena defeated Cody Rhodes to win a record-breaking 17th title at the Allegiant Stadium in Las dominated the start of the match, with Cena on the backfoot. However, the WWE icon soon proved his worth once again. John Cena showed glimpses of his peak, with some of his vintage moves. However, the fight remained close with Rhodes not backing down. The crowd erupted with the iconic phrase, "You can't see me," after Cena delivered a five-knuckle icon Travis Scott made his appearance in the ring when the referee was knocked down with his famous song, 'Fein' being played in the stadium. While Cody Rhodes hit Scott with his signature move CrossRhodes, John Cena used this moment to get back at his opponent.

On the other hand, the 47-year-old hit his rival with a low-blow before attacking him with the belt. Ultimately, it was John Cena who emerged victorious and made history with his 17th WWE championship.

Under the banks' towers, Frankfurt's humble water houses bring the city together
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Frankfurt has become Germany's financial capital, known for the country's only high-rise skyline. But look closer to the ground and you'll find a tradition that brings rich and poor, bankers and punks, together. The humble 'Wasserhäuschen,' or little water houses, have been a distinctive feature of the city since they started springing up in the second half of the 19th century. Back when drinking unboiled tap water wasn't advisable, the little kiosks offered bottles of mineral water. They encouraged workers, with the city's approval, to drink affordable water rather than beer and schnapps. They thrived as they weren't subject to the official closing hours imposed on shops. And they were useful supply stations again in the immediate aftermath of the destruction of World War II. These days, there's more on offer at the water houses: a quick beer, candy, the newspaper, cigarettes, sometimes cafe service, with tables and the odd sofa on the sidewalk. Laura Poellath, a 27-year-old student who works at the 'Fein' water house, says the little kiosks are 'like a living room in the city.' 'The people are very varied, from young to old, all the different groups are here,' she says. 'Water houses are social meeting points,' says Hubert Gloss, who offers tours of the houses that are spread around the city. 'They are accessible; everyone is welcome here, it's a democratic place ... without these meeting points, the city would lose something in human terms.' There were once 800 of the freestanding kiosks, but their numbers have diminished as a result of new building and other factors, Gloss says. City authorities say there are now about 300, most of them leased by breweries or distributors of drinks to their operators. Photographer Stefan Hoening says today's water houses are a place where 'everyone, no matter where they come from and no matter what their pay grade, can come together and feel at ease without being judged.' 'That's the good thing about water houses,' the 42-year-old says. 'With kiosks, you usually go there, buy something and go back home. Here, people from all the different classes meet.'
