Springer Opera needs you!

The hit musical Jerry Springer – The Opera is to hold open auditions for new cast members around the country, in a search to find the best talent from the UK.

Making theatre history, Jerry Springer –The Opera has won an unprecedented four awards for Best Musical at:The Olivier Awards, The Critics’ Circle Theatre Awards, The Evening Standard Theatre Awards and The What’s on Stage Awards, transferred to London’s Cambridge Theatre on 10^th November 2003 and has an extended booking period up to January 2005.

This new opera is 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.”
