Taking place now through June 7, 2026 at Princess of Wales Theatre is BEAUTIFUL NOISE: THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL! The toe-tapping Musical told through two actors playing the hitmaker then and now, takes a deep look into his past and traumas that made him the legend he is today. In addition to his anthem “Sweet Caroline,” he is responsible for hits “Cracklin’ Rosie,” “You Don’t Brjng Me.Flowers“, “Song Sung Blue” (for which the 2025 film starring Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson was named) and “America“.

The story focuses on Neil Diamond (current day) played by Robert Westenberg as he is sitting down talking to his therapist (Lisa Renee Pitts) about his life, as she tries to get him to open-up and talk about how he became the man he is today. He is hesitant, and she presents him his songbook, and picks songs that allows him to let his guard down about the past and how these hits became to be, in relation to the points where he was in his life.

When we see “then” Neil, he is played by Nick Frandiani who inherited the role on Broadway in 2023. He alsl happens to be the American Idol winner in 2015. While the show tells the tale of Neil Diamond, and how the songs came to be, the audience is most engaged and joyous when the songs everyone has come to know and love are being performed my Fradiani and company. Two-and-a-half hours fly by when the songs are being sung, and most notably, there is almost non-stop music. initely more hits being sung then story being told – but we are all here for the wonderful music of this legend, so get your best sparkly outfit, and dance your way over to the Princess of Wales Theatre before June 7, 2026.

Jury statement: “For its astute view on political ideologies and its meditative exploration of the true costs of radical action beyond isolated moments of protest and conventional electoral politics—and the ways in which periods of dissent can fade into enforced consensus, the jury recognizes Heidrun Holzfeind’s elegiac yet piercing attention to one man and the echoes of his resistance with the Hot Docs Joan VanDuzer Special Jury Prize-International Feature Documentary.”

Hot Docs Best Canadian Feature Documentary, supported by Telefilm Canada, is awarded to an exceptional feature-length documentary in the Canadian Spectrum Competition program and was presented to Saigon Story: Two Shootings in the Forest Kingdom (D: Kim Nguyen | P: Nabil Mehchi, Robert Vroom, Ariel Nasr | Canada | 2026 | 91 min).

The winner will receive a $10,000 cash prize, courtesy of Telefilm Canada.
Jury Statement: “For this film’s illuminating look at the story behind an iconic image and the city where it was captured, its compelling analysis of the lasting effects of a conflict from more than a half century ago, and its deep dive into the complex historical, political and emotional aspects that expand well beyond the frame of one of the most haunting moments ever captured on film, the Jury presents the Hot Docs Best Canadian Feature Documentary award to Kim Nguyen’s Saigon Story: Two Shootings in the Forest Kingdom.”

Hot Docs Best International Feature Documentary, supported by Donner Canadian Foundation, is awarded to an exceptional feature-length documentary in the International Spectrum Competition program and went to House of Hope (D: Marjolein Busstra | P: Ruby Deelen, Olivia Sophie van Leeuwen, May Jabareen, Ossama Bawardi | Netherlands, Palestine | 2025 | 91 min).

Hot Docs is pleased to present the winner with a $10,000 cash prize, courtesy of Donner Canadian Foundation.
Jury Statement: “A powerful and unsentimental film that bears witness to a family-run Waldorf school in the West Bank and its profound commitment to nurturing the humanity of children. For its clear-eyed portrait of educators whose quiet everyday resilience stubbornly insists on hope under the shadow of occupation and genocide, the jury enthusiastically presents Marjolein Busstra with the Hot Docs Best International Feature Documentary award for House of Hope.”

Hot Docs is an Academy Awards® qualifying festival for feature documentaries.

GRAMMY® & Emmy Award-winning superstar singer, songwriter, rapper, instrumentalist, and actress Lizzo has released the title track off of her upcoming album Bitch — listen HERE. Earlier this week she announced that her third studio album is due out June 5th. Accompanying the track is a new video directed by child featuring Lizzo and her entourage as circus performers— watch HERE:

The track was produced by frequent collaborators Ricky Reed, Blake Slatkin & Zack Sekoff and interpolates Meredith Brook’s smash hit of the same name. Lizzo, who first coined the phrase ‘I’m 100% that bitch’ on her Diamond-selling single “Truth Hurts” will continue to shape pop culture with her new forthcoming album, announced earlier this week.

Just last month, Lizzo released “Don’t Make Me Love U”, another standout track from the forthcoming album. The song was met with immense praise from critics and fans alike, kicking off Lizzo’s new musical era with a striking video depicting Lizzo grappling with her past-self, reflecting and eventually evolving through learning and growth.

This much anticipated release comes on the heels of a fully sold-out run of shows at Blue Note Jazz Club’s Los Angeles & New York locations, totalling a run of 12 performances. Variety heralded that “these shows reminded the audience, up close and personal, what a major talent Lizzo is: a top-class singer, an engaging and entertaining performer, and to a degree we haven’t really seen before, a trained, serious musician.” She most recently gave an electrifying performance to a sold-out Houston Rodeo with over 70,000 fans earlier this month.

Aside from music, Lizzo recently announced the upcoming release of her first ever children’s book Lil Lizzo Meets Sasha B. Flootin’, coming to bookshelves all over on September 8th, 2026. Published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, the story tells the tale of a bubbly little girl who just wants to belong meeting a smart and brassy flute who can’t find her tune, winding up on a wild adventure to places filled with incredible sounds. Lizzo is also starring as Rock N Roll pioneer & gospel singer Sister Rosetta Tharpe in the upcoming film “Rosetta” from Amazon MGM Studios.

About Lizzo:

Lizzo is a four-time GRAMMY® Award–winning, Emmy Award–winning superstar singer, songwriter, rapper, and actress, who has left an indelible and incomparable mark on popular culture. She has garnered numerous accolades, notched two Hot 100 #1 smashes, earned dozens of gold, platinum, and multi-platinum certifications, packed arenas worldwide, and shined in blockbuster films. Lizzo notably made history in 2023 when she emerged as “the first black woman to receive Record of the Year at the GRAMMY® Awards since 1994” for the 2x-platinum “About Damn Time.” Prior, she shook the charts with the Diamond record “Truth Hurts.” It enshrined her as both “the third female rapper to top the Hot 100 without a featured artist” and “the first black solo female R&B singer to claim the top spot since 2012.” It dominated the Hot 100 for seven weeks, becoming “the longest running #1 by a solo female rap artist ever.” Rolling Stone hailed it as one of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. She has appeared on a myriad of television shows, including Saturday Night Live, TODAY, Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, CBS Sunday Morning, and more. She also headlined her own Emmy nominated HBO special Lizzo: Live In Concert, capturing her sold-out show at Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Along the way, her presence could be felt at the box office and on streaming networks, spanning roles in The Simpsons and Hustlers in addition to producing and starring in the #1 multi-Emmy Award–Winning, Prime reality TV show: Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.

Flootin,’ hitting bookshelves this September & will be starring in the newly announced film “Rosetta” from Amazon MGM Studios.

This May, Chef Ko launches Journey to Isaan, a seasonal menu running through August 2026 at Isaan Der’s Spadina location. Rooted in fermentation, open fire, and the bold, sour flavours of Northeastern Thailand, a cuisine rooted in a landlocked region that shares its culture with Laos and Vietnamese, and has almost nothing in common with the Thai food most Canadians know. Where other restaurants grade by chilli heat, Journey to Isaan is graded by fermentation, from the curious to the deeply traditional.

“Isaan Der is a cultural ambassador of Thailand to Toronto. We are the unseen part of Thailand,
and we are very proud of that,” says Chef Ko, Chef and Co-Owner, Isaan Der.

JOURNEY TO ISAAN
Since opening in 2017, Isaan Der has introduced Toronto diners to the distinctive flavours of
Isaan cooking that most Canadians have never tasted. Journey to Isaan moves from grilled
dishes and salads to soup, rice, and noodles, ending with traditional desserts like Kanom Krok
or Mango Sticky Rice.

● Yaang Platter: Grilled over open fire, featuring street food found across Thailand including Isaan sausage, a regional specialty made of pork and rice.
● Mhok Pla: Isaan-style steamed sea bass cooked in a banana leaf, flavoured with
aromatic Thai herbs and pla ra.
● Gaeng Aom Moo: A light, clear soup made with seasonal vegetables, herbs, and pork
short ribs. No coconut milk.
● Laab Ped with Sticky Rice: Minced duck salad with herbs, rice powder, fresh lime, and
chilies. Chef Ko’s after-school favourite and one of Isaan’s most iconic dishes.
● Khao Piak: House-made rice noodles in a silky pork bone broth.
● Pad Si Ew and Khao Soi: Both made with fresh homemade noodles using techniques
and recipes Chef Ko learned from locals in Chiang Mai.

THE DRINKS
Each drink is made with fresh Thai ingredients, built around the same spirit as the food.
● Mangolicious: Inspired by mango sticky rice, made with perfectly ripe mangoes.
● Lychee Fizz: Light and fresh, lychee balanced with a sparkling lift.
● Isaan Der Fresh Coconut (Non-Alcoholic): Served fresh, sourced directly from Thailand.

THE HEART OF ISAAN CUISINE: FERMENTATION
Isaan cooking is shaped by fermentation, a preservation technique passed down through
generations of riverside communities in Northeastern Thailand.

The process starts with freshwater fish, caught from the region’s rivers. It is salted, combined
with sticky rice powder, and left to ferment for over three years, developing pla ra, a fermented
fish paste that defines Isaan cooking.

“It smells and tastes like blue cheese or anchovies. It is very pungent and has lots of umami. It
is cooked from the heart and takes years of patience. Pla ra is the hero of our menu, and gives
a salty, funky taste found nowhere else in Toronto,” says Ko.

ABOUT CHEF KO
A former journalist at Thailand’s major national news stations for 15 years, Chef Ko travelled the
country and ate in fine restaurants and at the tables of rural families. Trained at Kasetsart
University and at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel’s cooking school in Bangkok, she moved to
Toronto in 2011 with her husband Donald. She opened Isaan Der in 2017 with a mission to
introduce Toronto to Northeastern Thailand.

ABOUT ISAAN DER
Isaan Der is Toronto’s only Northeastern Thai restaurant, led by Chef Chatsuda “Chef Ko” and
her husband Donald. Since opening in 2017, Isaan Der has been the city’s sole introduction to the fermented, fire-kissed cuisine of Thailand’s largest region. Three locations across the GTA.
