Where: Earlham
Street, WC2 9HU
What: Critically
acclaimed, Jerry Springer - The Opera won Best
Musical at The Evening Standard Theatre Awards 2003. Since its
beginning at Battersea Arts Centre three years ago, the hit show
has gone
from strength to strength, its run having already been extended
twice. The show has received unprecedented rave reviews,
plus standing ovations from critics and the public alike.
"It's
not only blasphemous, vulgar and salacious but also a widly comic,
provocative, witty pastiche opera which mocks our addition to
the cult of confession as mass entertainment." (The Metro).
The operatic confessors fill their arias with expletives and
depaved longings and America’s favourite talk show host suffers
the worst day of his career.
As
well as being London’s hottest show, the Cambridge Theatre
has become one of
the places
for celebrity spotting, with Catherine Zeta-Jones & Michael
Douglas, Michael Caine, Glenn Close, Meg Ryan, Billy Zane,
Sheryl Crow, Kevin Kline, David Hasselhoff,
Joan & Jackie
Collins, Dido, Harvey Keitel,
and Kylie all going to see the show.
NB: As you
might suspect, Jerry Springer - The Opera is only suitable for
adults.
