Reviewer Quotes
“ Brilliantly outrageous! ”
Orange County Register
“ By any measure a hilarious satire ”
OC Weekly
WARNING: This show is strictly for adult audiences.
You will be shocked, you will most likely be offended,
but you will definitely laugh your a@# off!
From its phenomenal success in London and New York, Jerry Springer: The Opera is finally coming to Southern California. The smash-hit production combines the highest form of art and the lowest form of pop culture, and created history in the process by winning all four Best Musical Awards in London. In turns hilarious and heart-breaking, this raunchy, high-energy production follows Jerry Springer to the afterlife and beyond. Featuring nappy fetishists, wannabe strippers and dancing Klansmen, this profane, cheeky musical has a sung-through score that ranges from pop and classical to contemporary opera. Just remember, it ain’t over till the fat lady says you’re sleeping with your brother’s sister’s twin…
NOTE: Seriously! This show is NOT FOR KIDS! Contains graphic language, adult situations and other things you would see on Jerry’s show… and more!
