Anna Nicole Smith's Life - Good Enough for an Opera
By: Miranda Kolb
Hollyood - From the people who brought you "Jerry Springer: The Opera" comes a new thoughtful, witty, funny and sad experience Anna Nicole Smith: The Opera. With plans for the music to be written by respected composer Mark-Anthony Turnage, theatergoers, coke addicts and booze hounds alike and shaking with anticipation over the awaited production.
There's a lot of anticipation over the production that is expected to premier in the 2010-2011 season. For the finale to the first act all the actors are being required to put on 20 lbs that will magically disappear, along with their sex appeal, by the end of intermission. Critics are extremely excited to see how the writers decide to bring sex with a 90-year-old man to life.
When Spartan Weekly spoke with creator Richard Thomas he seemed very optimistic about the upcoming production. ?I think that people will be excited to re-watch the already too public train wreck that was her life. Because reality television shows and nightly news appearance weren't enough to keep Smith in our hearts, the ever classy people of Great Britain plan to supply the world with catchy tunes to fill the void.
Without doubt opera is a medium that crosses class boundaries from the street corner to the trailer park all the way to the government subsidized housing. Hopefully "Anna Nicole Smith: The Opera" will draw the same following that her life did. If not, it'll probably die of a drug overdose before viewers get too bored.
