Gossip On Sports - The Latest Dish On and Off the Field

David Beckham’s Life As Told . . . In Showtunes

by Jodie Lynn Boduch on August 19th, 2008

Move over Jesus Christ Superstar, The Who’s Tommy, and Godspell.  A new rock opera could be hitting London’s West End: David Beckham—The Theatre of Dreams.

(No, that’s not a joke. Heck, don’t you think we’d come up with a better title if it were?)

People.com reports that librettist Mark Archer is chatting with producers to bring his obviously unhealthy fixation musical vision of Beckham’s life story via “powerful, gospel-like rock” to the stage.

No word on who will play the do-good LA Galaxy star or his wife Victoria, but can you imagine how fun that audition would be–buff guys trying to Bend It Like Beckham and women putting forth their best sourpuss looks?

Maybe someday, David and Victoria Beckham will be applauding like this on opening night of David Beckham: Theatre of Dreams.

Chuckles aside, we’d rather see a Beckham musical than a Jesse Ventura court show come to fruition any day.
