Chicago The Musical was in the Grand Opera House from the 6th-11th of June this year, and for those who don’t know anything about it, it is set in Chicago in the 1920s, where murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery are rampant. I attended a performance of the show on the 10th of June during its one week in Belfast, and in this, I’m going to be giving my thoughts on the performance, as well as telling you whether or not you should go and see it the next time it goes on tour near you....

But in this blog, I'm going to give my own take on what Elon Musk becoming the CEO of Twitter actually means — just a few days after news was announced that Mr Musk has completed his $44bn (£38.1bn) takeover of Twitter, while showing respect for both sides of the argument....
