The Secret Life of Bees is a new musical based on Sue Monk Kidd’s novel of the same name; after premiering Off-Broadway in 2019, it has now made its way to London at the cosy Almeida Theatre.

With book by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Lynn Nottage, music by Tony-winning composer Duncan Sheik and lyrics by Tony-nominated Susan Birkenhead, it’s a show with a lot of promise.

Does it deliver? Thankfully, it doesn’t disappoint – this is an uplifting and moving new musical, full of fantastic original songs performed by some seriously impressive vocalists.

It tackles some serious material – focusing on an interracial friendship during the civil rights era, proceedings begin with Lyndon B Johnson announcing the Civil Rights Act in 1964, which outlawed discrimination based on race, colour, religion, sex or national origin.

But, considering so many of these photos are shirtless, sun-soaked beauty shots, it’s more like, “one for them, another one for them” because, wow, what a gift!Related: Lee Pace and a bunch of chaotic queers play a deadly game of ‘Bodies Bodies Bodies’Shoes off, crouching on some beach pebbles, Pace’s latest comes amid the press rounds for the upcoming horror-comedy Bodies Bodies Bodies, which does—we can confirm—feature more shirtless Pace.
