Synopsis Jerry Springer - The Opera underwent Scratch performances at BAC in the A Sharp Intake of Music season in May 01. Opera as never before with appearances from a Chick with a Dick counter-tenor, a diaper wearing baritone and mezzo members of the Klan, complete with Audience Psycho Choir. Jerry Springer - The 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 Comes the Hookers' and 'I Refuse to Wear Clothes.' Note: Not suitable for children.
An amazing show that kept me riveted despite a massive case of jet lag. It gets redundant in the first act and loses focus in the second act (and God comes in a poor second to Satan when it comes to casting), but this is a must-see musical. Give it an extra half-star for originality. - USER: Whatsonstage.com (12.107.15.2)

I wanted to like this. Really, I did. I was expecting it to be wonderful; instead, I think it was possibly the least enjoyable evening I've ever spent in a theatre.
The concept - the operatic contrast with the language - is terribly clever and original, a really great idea. Sadly, the show itself is just stupid - actually - and I never thought this would be possible! - less good than the TV show. There are only so many times I can hear someone sing "What the f*ck" and find it entertaining. It's just so juvenile; it seems to be based on the fact that someone singing swear words is funny.
The cast is very good (especially whoever is playing the Devil), and the idea is interesting - it's just a shame that the excecution is so dire. - USER: Whatsonstage.com (195.92.67.69)

Saw this last might for the second time. I agree with all your four and five star reviewers. This is a magnificently innovative piece and marks a major development in musical theatre. Yes, it uses four letter words and is adult entertainment but not everything has to be for all the family. I was delighted to see that the audience was of a wide age range and they all loved it. When I first saw it earlier this year, I was not sure about Michael Brandon but he is now firmly in control. The singing and production are thrilling. Long may it continue. - USER: Whatsonstage.com (195.93.34.13)

It's a pretty astonishing evening, I can tell you! Tap-dancing Klu Klux Klan. A husband who wants to be his wife's 'baby'. The Chick with the.... Very, very rude and very, very funny - I was in stitches from the moment the cast filed on. There are some terrific voices in the energetic cast - particularly Benjamin Lake, who plays Dwight and God, and David Bedella, who has great stage presence as the warm-up man and The Devil. True, the second act drags a bit and you get the feeling that it's lost its way, but the finale (just when you thought it was over) is wonderful. Andrew B - USER: Whatsonstage.com (193.130.127.205)

I went to see this Production back in April 03. I went along not knowing what to expect from this production only having watched the Jerry Springer show on Television.But I was really suprised. You get a Jerry Springer show on stage and more..
The Sets and lighting are breath taking to say the least. Singing and Dancing spot on. This is a night out at the theatre you will never forget. Please be warned though this production is for people aged 18+. Its is not a show for the younger ones. - USER: Whatsonstage.com (80.5.40.24)

Andrew Bevis has an absolutely outstanding voice.
