Broadway Jerry Springer The Opera To Still Go On

New YorkJerry Springer The OperaUK producers released a statement concerning the upcoming Broadway production in response to a statement by producer Jon Thoday saying that recent protests by certain Christian groups would provide some concern for possible New York investors. The statement read:"While the widely covered but small scale religious protests in the UK surrounding Jerry Springer—The Opera have not been helpful in the completion of raising the capital for the Broadway production, they have by no means brought an end to our New York plans," said a spokesman for the New York production in a released statement. "We are looking to complete the finance process over the next six months and are planning a Broadway opening in the first half of 2006." Jerry Springer The Opera has come under scrutiny after the BBC aired the musical, causing thousands of complaints from viewers. BBC executives received death threats as well. Recently a cancer charity turned down money raised by the show after urgings from the Christian Voice.
