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.

Since Friends finished almost 13 years ago, fans of the series have been pining for more stories concerning Rachel, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe, and Ross.

Fear not, New Yorkers, as a musical based on the TV show is moving from Chicago to the Big Apple later this year. While the project is officially linked to the series, there’s been a huge amount of media interest since the move to New York was announced thanks to the acclaimed writers behind it.

Bob and Tobly McSmith — who have previously written off-broadway hits 90210! The Musical!, Katdashian: The Musical!, Full House! The Musical!, and Bayside! The Musical! — have penned the production, titled Friends! The Musical!.

Songs that will feature include ‘The One Where We Make A Million Dollars An Episode’, 'The Only Coffee Shop in New York’, ‘Oh. My God. It's Janice!’, and, of course ‘We'll Always Be There For You.’

While Friends! The Musical! remains an off-broadway show, cast member have been known to appear in the McSmith’s work — could a cameo appearance be in the works? Tickets to the production, which reaches New York’s Triad Theatre this June, are available here.
