Olivier Awards
Critics' Circle Awards

Witness triumph, tragedy and trailer trash as high art meets low in the new genre-breaking opera.

Jerry Springer The Opera is the controversial musical based on America's most lurid talk show and the US host who brought worldwide television audiences programmes entitled: 'Pregnant by a Transsexual,' 'Here Come the Hookers,' and 'I Refuse to Wear Clothes'. As Richard Thomas said of the television show: "It's got tragedy. It's got violence. There are people screaming at each other and you can't understand what they're saying. It's perfect for opera."

After playing 609 performances in London Jerry Springer: The Opera embarks on a National UK Regional Theatre Tour from January 2006.

"The most explosive theatrical event for years, and the biggest thrill for decades" The Observer

Available to buy online: The Original London Cast Recording on CD and the DVD of the London Stage Production.
