sobriqueSaturday, a possey wnt to see Jerry Springer the Opera at the Hippodrome in Birmingham.
It has a certain amount of contraversy surrounding it. Haveing seen it all the way through for the first time, I can see why.
You see, it's got "some strong language". Which isn't entirely true. It has an awful lot of swearing. Interestingly, none of it spoken.
"What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fucking fucking fuck" is a sample of one of the lyrics :).
I think that's not the 'big deal' with the show. I think the fact that they have Jesus and Satan on Jerry Springer. Satan ( who is a "cunting cunting cunting cunting cunt" ) wanting an apology for being cast down.
Jesus being a black guy, wearing not many clothes, who admits to being 'a bit gay'.
And God with a song about how "it ain't easy being me".
That said, if the above wouldn't really offend you especially, then go see it. It's a good show, very entertaining, and funny.
And unlike the usual case, the programme is also worth the £4 they charge for it ;).
However I'm still not entirely sure whether the protestors with their 'OMG this is terrible' leaflets were actually more entertaining than the Opera itself or not.

Date: 2006-02-20 06:53 pm (UTC)JStO is coming to Nottingham. I thought about it, but decided not to go. Mind you, I certainly won't object to others going and I think I 'get' what the show is about, taking the piss out of car crash TV like the Springer show - it's just a teeny bit near the knuckle for me, that's all.
Our vicar is a very keen fan of Jethro, who's humour is hardly suitable for family viewing...
