A brash, irreverent musical satire that mines dark comedy from the absurdity of talk-show culture and human dysfunction, blending vaudeville theatricality with provocative social commentary.

"Jerry Springer: The Opera" tells the story of a day in the job of world famous talk-show host, Jerry Springer.

However, on this particular day, something out of the ordinary will happen...
