Directing ambition sought

PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES It's time to pour yourself a cup of ambition. Showbiz Queenstown's announced it'll stage 9 to 5: The Musical next May, featuring a rip-roaring score from the queen of country, Dolly Parton. Pushed to boiling point, three female co-workers — Violet, Judy and Doralee — concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, the women live out their wildest fantasy; giving their boss the boot. Inspired by the iconic 1980s movie, the blockbuster musical comedy premiered in Los Angeles in 2008 and opened on Broadway the following year, receiving 15 Drama Desk Award nominations — the most received by a production in a single year — along with four Tony Award nominations. Showbiz is now on the hunt for its next creative team. They're looking for a director, music director, choreographer and production manager — applications close on August 31.

Joanne Kavanagh, Showbiz Reporter Published: Invalid Date, LOVE Island's Shakira looks set to turn on a villa rival as she's handed the power to AXE two stars. Tonight viewers will see Shakira and her partner Ty dump another couple - and fans think the northern lass has already "given away" who goes home. 3 3 3 It's been a tense time in the Love Island villa after one couple was dumped and the future of another hangs in the balance. Andrada and Ben were voted as the least compatible couple, and therefore eliminated from the show. But three more couples' futures are now in jeopardy after a shocking twist and cliffhanger. As Shakira and Ty were voted the most compatible couple, they will have to choose another couple to be dumped. The couples they can choose from were unveiled last night as Tommy and Lucy; Conor and Emma; and Lauren and Harrison. In a sneak peek to tonight's explosive episode, Shakira and Ty are seen debating their decision. When they talk about Tommy and Lucy, Ty says: "Tommy and Lucy, he is all about her, to be fair." However, pulling a face, Shakira replies: "Mmm, I don't buy it too much. "I feel like Tommy's a bit of a safe option for her." Fans think this has sealed the couple's fate, and taking to Twitter/X one said: "Tommy and Lucy are 100% gone." Love Island fans spot 'evil' way producers 'messed with' stars ahead of cliff-hanger episode as three couples' future hangs in the balance While another added: Well it's defo Lucy and Tommy going.
