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.

Jason Donovan is to play a lead role in the West End version of Priscilla Queen Of The Desert. The former Neighbours actor will play the drag queen Mitzi when the musical transfers from Australia to the Palace Theatre in March.

At a launch event yesterday, Donovan, 40, said it was "ironic" that he would appear, but only because he was considered for the Oscar-winning 1994 film. In 1992, he successfully sued The Face magazine for claiming he was homosexual.
