Jerry Springer - The Opera is 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.

The show contains music by Richard Thomas, with book and lyrics by Stewart Lee and Richard Thomas. An Avalon Promotions Ltd and Allan McKeown production in association with the National Theatre and BAC.
