Jerry Springer – The Opera

Only the third company in the U.S. to be granted the performance rights to this award-winning musical, MMT is thrilled to bring this work to Twin Cities audiences. The only work in British history to win Best Musical in all of their major awards: Olivier Awards, Critic’s Choice, Evening Standard, and What’s On Stage, Jerry Springer – The Opera is a fascinating mix of the highest form of art and the lowest form of culture – opera and daytime television. In turns hilarious and heartbreaking, this new musical presents a series of unusual characters each desperate for their "Jerry Springer moment." Act I finds Jerry in familiar territory… guests with dark secrets. In Act 2, Jerry is forced to experience the worst day of his life as his guests take the level of debate between good and bad to operatic heights.
