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.
