Product Description

Product Description

Having caused outrage from religious groups when it was shown on terrestrial TV, the award-winning and controversial Jerry Springer: The Opera is now finally available to own on DVD.

I remember seeing the advert for this show when it first came out in the westend. at that time i didnt really think about what it was about - i, strangely, thought it was a live show about jerry. its not.
I remember hearing from a friend that the show was excellent so when it was played on the BBC i watched it. all i can say is that i was laughing all the way through - it is possibly one of the most original stage shows of our time.
the story is basically set up like an episode of jerry springer (on stage there is even an audience) and jerry meets various characters who come and share there problems. The (fake) audience get heavily involved and there is even a pole dance! As the show goes on, however, it strays away from the jerry springer show and concentrates on jerry himself. this is where religion comes in and we even see god himself.
whilst the story goes on, as the title suggests, it is an opera, so we have some very strange but funny opera songs. which is even weirder when you hearing it comming from the guests which include trailer trash.
David Soul is brilliant as the chat show host himself and his assistant (the american bloke from Holby City) are very good as well as all the cast. This is a really well made comedy and won many awards when first aired at the Edinbourogh Festival.
Highly recommened, extremely funny but not for sensitive ears (or eyes!)

When it was screened in January 2005 on BBC2, Jerry Springer The Opera caused a storm of controversy. Some argued it was an obscenity-packed insult to the Christian faith, while others considered it the greatest thing to happen to musical theatre in years. I had never seen an opera before in my life but decided to tune in to see what all the fuss was about. And I'm so glad I did- it was my tv highlight of 2005. It was hilarious, intelligent and completely different from anything I'd ever seen before. The DVD special features are excellent. Stewart Lee and Richard Thomas provide a commentary to the 120-minute musical extravaganza. A featurette entitled 'How to Write an Opera about Jerry Springer', gives a valuable insight into the two creative geniuses behind the show. A 15-minute documentary on 'The Story of a Musical Documentary' is markedly similar to the documentary which preceded the screening of the opera on BBC2. Add to this a Collector's Edition Booklet, Subtitles, and slideshows on the opera's history and musical score- and you will find more than enough material to complement the opera. A word of warning though: If you do have a delicate sensibility and you are offended by the sight of an overweight man dancing around a stage in a nappy- you may want to think twice before investing in the DVD. As the credits roll you may wonder why the show resulted in a record 60,000 complaints to the BBC. It's undeniably foul-mouthed, but not to the extent that you might expect. And certainly not to the extent of 8,000 expletives- which is what the propagandists would lead you to believe. If you've grown weary of the interminable succession of inane, derivative tripe on tv nowadays- do not despair.Read more ›

This is hillarious. The best musical ever made. It will make you laugh out loud all the way through.

Basically its just another Jerry springer show until Jerry is killed and sent to hell. Thus begining the ultimate battle between good and evil that will have you crying with laughter.

If you are not offended by extremely foul language then this is definaltely a film for you.

We could spend so long judging people and things and never have time to judge ourselves.

This brilliant creation works both as a musical, almost an opera, and a comedic parody of the Springer show, with bags of satire on commonplace views about sex, morality and religion. If you can cope with a good hard discussion in the pub or with your granny, you can cope with Springer!

I loved it as a piece of music and it lends itself, like the best opera, to re-listening and re-viewing, to make the most of the sumptuous (yes, sumptuous) textual and musical rhythms. It includes many comical and serious leitmotivs, from the beautiful 'Springer Moment' to the staccato rhythmic chanting of the f word ; both are as relevant and funny as they need to be in the given context.

Allow me to pass my JUDGMENT, then; before we cast any stones at this brilliant work of art, let's have a good look at ourselves!

'Jerry Springer - The Opera' is absolutely HILARIOUS! When I first saw it at the West End I knew that it would be a huge hit but also cause controversy. (Tap-dancing Ku Klux Klan - WHAT?!) Having said that, two of my friends who are very religious, were able to watch at least the first half.
The acting and singing is great, and the music (by Richard Thomas) is absolutely superb.
There's one guy that is just sooooo great, I can't sing his praises enough. David Bedella - the greatest (& sexiest) dancer, actor and singer in the whole show!!
Please note - Not suitable for people without a sense of humour!
