Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Like Def Leppard, Hans Liberg is big in Germany. But don't let that put you off. This Dutch performer is no heavy-metal dinosaur, but a sophisticated musical comedian. Musical comedy is not generally a concept designed to delight fans of either music or comedy; it can often fall embarrassingly between the two stools. But Liberg manages to avoid this, with an impressive display of musical mickey-taking in his show, International. In a melodic whistle-stop tour, he mocks everything from Bach to the Beatles. Nothing if not versatile, he proves himself of soloist standard, not only on piano, harpsichord, trumpet, recorder, guitar, drum and cymbal, but also on Power Ranger - for an arrangement of the Toy Symphony, since you ask.
Peacock Theatre, London WC2 (0171-863 8222) tonight, 7.30pm
