Jerry Springer - The Opera

Jerry Springer - The Opera

Music by Richard Thomas, Book and Lyrics by Stewart Lee and Richard Thomas

August 10 - September 9, 2007

Playhouse on the Square, 51 South Cooper Street, Memphis, TN

Winner of the 2004 Olivier Award for Best Musical, this operatic restaging of “The Jerry Springer Show” delivers an ironic universal message: Is television a mirror or a moral agent for our society? As people confess to an assortment of infidelities and guilty secrets, the television host eventually finds himself in a hell of his own making and is called upon to effect a reconciliation between the two ultimate adversaries - Jesus and Satan. Critics have hailed this provocative, ground-breaking new work as “scatological and theological, puerile and profound.”
