NOTE: Extended run until June 26. From the KPBS weekend arts preview: What do the '80s band The Go-Go's and 16th century Chivalric literature? Diversionary Theatre's upcoming production of "Head Over Heels," penned by Jeff Whitty ("Avenue Q"), might offer one answer. This is a "jukebox musical," so instead of original songs performed by the characters to advance the plot, existing, popular music is used. In this case, it's music by the '80s band The Go-Go's, based on Sir Philip Sidney's "Arcadia." The story effectively follows a royal family as they attempt to counteract an ominous prophesy — with some intrigue, jealousy and scandal along the way. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS From the organizers: From the visionary behind "Avenue Q" comes a bold new Broadway musical fairytale where Once Upon a Time crashes into our present moment. In the mythical land of Arcadia, the royal family is challenged to set out on a journey to save their beloved kingdom from extinction. Through their adventure gender roles are upended, relationships liberated, and love is discovered in the most surprising of ways. Told to the hypnotic beat of the iconic 80’s all-girl rock band The Go-Go’s, Head Over Heels joyously unveils a path to a new world where diversity is celebrated and ladies lead!

Prince Harry is doing something British royals have rarely done before: He's going to court. The Duke of Sussex is set to testify this week in a phone-hacking trial against British tabloids.

For the first time, the media titan was accused in court of knowing about a massive British tabloid-hacking scandal and helping to cover it up. The new leader of The Washington Post was named too.

A high court judge also says three men who pressured Jenni Hermoso to absolve Luis Rubiales — by acting together in an attempt "to break the will" of the star forward — could also face charges.

The secrecy that shrouded Princess Kate's cancer diagnosis is something that any new cancer patient can understand. It's daunting to decide when to share, whom to tell and how much to say.

This is a whole-hearted and clear-eyed telling of one of the most iconic love stories in music history, complete with a soundtrack of beloved hits — "I Walk the Line," "Ring of Fire," "Hey Porter," "Jackson," "I’ve Been Everywhere" and many more.
