David Beckham The Musical?

Share

As if he wasn’t famous enough, David Beckham has decided to put his life on a musical stage via a Broadway like production. His life story could be on its way to the London stage in the form of a “powerful, gospel-like rock” West End musical

David Beckham The Musical: will cover “his rise from obscurity to international stardom, his universally acknowledged gifts as a supreme sportsman, and his Hollywood lifestyle,” librettist Mark Archer told the Daily Telegraph on Tuesday.

“Beckham’s story is a modern-day fairytale of heroes, villains, love, Manchester United and what it means to lead your country,’’ explained Mark Archer, the songwriter behind this celebration of Beckham’s first 33 years. “His rise from obscurity to international stardom, his universally acknowledged gifts as a supreme sportsman, and his Hollywood lifestyle all have the elements of an aspirational fable.
“With football and celebrity now firmly established as new secular Western religions, The Theatre of Dreams is set within a cheering football stadium – the modern-day church. The music is powerful, gospel-like rock to establish clearly football and Manchester United as a religion.’’

So we’ve gone from made for tv movies to on-stage productions? Where is our entertainment industry heading? Wonder who will play him, cuz unless he plays himself I’m not going.
