Review: SIX stellar reasons to see the musical based on Henry VIII's wives
Article content The musical SIX is an ode to sisterhood. Article content Call it the Tudor version of The Eurythmics' Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves or Sister Sledge's We Are Family, as the six wives of Henry VIII discover they are strongest when they are singing with each other, and not against each other. Article content The thin plot line of this rock concert disguised as a musical is that Henry's six wives are forming a band, and the lead singer will be the wife who suffered the most at the hands of the controversial monarch. Article content Article content Henry tried to annul his marriage to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, so he could marry one of her ladies-in-waiting, Anne Boleyn. However, the Catholic Church didn't recognize divorce. Henry threatened to send Catherine to a convent, but instead formed his own church that would give him the divorce he wanted. Catherine sings No Way, a big, brassy number, that lets Henry and the audience know she is a formidable woman, but, alas, Henry got his way, so her protest is in vain. Article content Article content Chani Maisonet, who plays Catherine, uses Beyonce as her diva inspiration, which means she exudes confidence and style. There is a sense that she knows she's special and that her stature is earned. As is the case with most of the songs in the show, Maisonet is supported by the other wives in what becomes a wild, frenzied number, but Maisonet is always front and centre. Article content Article content As Anne Boleyn, Hailey Lewis is pretty certain she will win the contest. After all, Henry had her beheaded. Her overconfidence is not only on display in the lyrics of her song, Don't Lose Ur Head, but in her quips to the other wives. She's a little vixen, always ready with a wisecrack, and always ready to play the headless card. Article content After Ex-Wives, which is the opening number, and Maisonet and Lewis's fully supported songs, it's a treat to have Kelly Denice Taylor's beautiful solo torch song, Heart of Stone. She literally takes the spotlight and brings as much heart as soul to the number. Article content Henry's fourth wife, Anna of Cleves, jokes that when Henry had run out of English women, he looked to Germany for her and she has the other wives join her in two techno-inspired numbers, Haus of Holbein and Get Down. The strong thing about SIX is that the songs are very specific to the wives. They use different styles and influences. There is a real cheekiness in the way Danielle Mendoza attacks these numbers as Anna.

Anthony Anderson's home broken into
Anthony Anderson's home has been broken into. The 'Black-ish' actor wasn't at the property in the Encino area of Los Angeles when three people got into the abode on Sunday (18.05.25) but cops are currently investigating the incident. Anthony confirmed to KABC it was his primary home that was broken into, and he was in Palm Springs for a fundraiser for his foundation, raising money for students at his former college Howard University when he heard the news. Police say no one has been arrested yet and it is not clear if anything was stolen. Detectives within the LAPD told the outlet burglary crews often don't know whose home they are in but it is often highly likely they belong to celebrities because they target large and expensive houses. The 54-year-old actor graduated from university in 2022 after originally having dropped out when he was young due to financial reasons, but was inspired to return to school after his son Nathan was accepted into Howard University in Washington, D.C. And Anthony later admitted completing his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts was one of his "proudest" moments, though he was also hit with anxiety before collecting his diploma. He said he was worried "as my name was being called, some school official would come over to me and say, 'We're sorry to inform you at this late moment but you're one credit short, so we're not going to be able to let you walk across the stage', or that I failed my final exam in one of my classes." Afterwards, the 'We Are Family' host went out clubbing with a "bunch of 22 year olds" and his son and refused to be out-partied by his fellow graduates. He told People magazine: "I celebrated by going to a club called 'Brooklyn' on U street with my son, my best friend Jerry a.k.a. 'Skinnyboy' and several HU 2022 graduates. "We partied 'till 4am – and for the record, I still got it! I was not going to be out-partied by a bunch of 22-year-olds! "Between you and me, I felt it the next morning, but that night I partied like a rock star."

Brooklyn Beckham returns to social media after snubbing his dad David's 50th birthday celebrations amid ‘feud'
BROOKLYN Beckham has returned to social media after snubbing dad David's 50th birthday celebrations. The 26-year-old failed to show up to his dad's star-studded bash at three Michelin star restaurant Core, Kensington, at the weekend. 5 Brooklyn Beckham has returned to social media to talk about hot sauce Credit: instagram 5 He whipped up his special recipe after a night drinking wine Credit: instagram And he also swerved an intimate family get together at the Beckhams' countryside pad days earlier. He hasn't publicly commented on his decision to miss the party but has now posted on social media in what appears an attempt to carry on as normal. Brooklyn has previously worked as a photographer and food influencer, and his latest project sees him making his own hot 'nepo' sauce under the Cloud 23 brand, a nod to his dad's 23 shirt when he played for Real Madrid. Speaking in a joint video with retailer Whole Foods, Brooklyn says: "I was having a bottle of wine with my wife really late at night and she said: 'You like hot sauce, you like design. Why don't you make a hot sauce'. "I didn't really think much about it and then I ordered a bunch of stuff and I watched a quick video on how to make a hot sauce. "I then made the jalapeno one and I really liked it and I thought: 'I kind of want to try and do something with this'. I had so much fun doing it." While Brooklyn stayed away from Becks' 50th, his siblings Romeo, Cruz and Harper showed their support. Aspiring musician Cruz even performed a duet with girlfriend Jackie Apostel, singing Dolly Parton's Island in the Stream. The acoustic strumming was more reserved than the raucous partying that followed it as the star-studded crowd belted out famous tunes including We Are Family. The partying was so loud that the council were forced to intervene and shut it down at 3.35am following complaints from neighbours. Fans hail 'incredible' moment Micah Richards sits on David Beckham's lap during new show and chats to Hollywood legend Tom Cruise, Guy Ritchie, Eva Longoria and Gordon Ramsay all attended three Michelin-starred Core in Kensington. Brooklyn's absence failed to put a dampener on a night of fun and laughter. He reportedly decided against attending over the inclusion of his ex-girlfriend, and brother Romeo's partner, Kim Turnbull on the guestlist. A pal revealed Brooklyn did text his dad to wish him a happy birthday and tried to organise a private meet-up, but was rebuffed. However, David did go on to offer a public olive branch to his eldest son on Instagram. 5 Cruz Beckham and Jackie Apostel sang at David's birthday party Credit: Instagram 5 David and Victoria dressed to impress at Core, Kensington Credit: Facebook He shared photos of a trip to Scotland with Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, and wrote: 'Six months ago planned a trip with my boys at the start of last week to camp and fish for my 50th was so much fun. You were missed @brooklynpeltzbeckham.' A source close to Brooklyn, who lives in Los Angeles, said: 'He flew to London with the sole intention of seeing his family and celebrating his dad's birthday. 'He suggested going for breakfast or a coffee but was told the only chance to see the family would be at one of their lavish parties which Kim would likely be at, so he refused. 'As far as he sees it, his parents have chosen Romeo and his new girlfriend over him.' However, a source close to the Beckhams insisted the fall-out had nothing to do with the siblings.
