Hart House Theatre Announces The Return of JERRY SPRINGER- THE OPERA, Opens 9/24
By: Gabrielle Sierra Aug. 17, 2009
Opening on September 24th, Hart House Theatre is proud to present the remount of Britain's raunchiest and most notorious satirical opera, Jerry Springer-The Opera running until October 10th, 2009.
Back by popular demand after performing to sold-out houses last January, Jerry Springer-The Opera has something that will offend and delight almost everyone at every turn. This British Blockbuster has all the elements that one has come to expect from the Jerry Springer Show including the world's worst sexual deviants in front of a bloodthirsty and carnivorous studio audience.The opening act is such a continual 'hoot' that at one point I was laughing so hard, I uncontrollably broke wind. -Ontario Arts ReviewThe Hart House production is polished - you get what the fuss is about. -The Globe and MailThe 20-odd twenty-somethings careering around the stage and auditorium appear to have stumbled into the deep humanity that lifts Thomas' show from easy satire into something both raunchy and noble at the same time. -The Toronto StarFrom men in diapers, tap dancing Ku Klux Klan members, to Jesus, and Adam and Eve, the show is not for the faint of heart but leaves audiences chanting "JERRY, JERRY JERRY!"Jerry Springer-The Opera
