Jerry Springer - The Opera began its life as a "scratch night" event with composer-creator Richard Thomas in 2001, then went through numerous workshops before landing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2002. The opera then transferred to a run at the National Theatre and its tremendous success prompted a transfer to a commercial run in October 2003. The work plans to open on Broadway, after a San Francisco tryout, in October 2005.
