David Beckham, The Musical

Who said soccer and song and dance don’t mix? Of course they do, according to Mark Archer, the songwriter who is putting together a musical based on David Beckham. The project’s title is said to be David Beckham – The Theater of Dreams and it will be premiering in London’s West End soon if Archer had his wish. Why oh why would the word want to see a David Beckham musical, you might be wondering. According to Archer, the stage is the perfect place to showcase David’s thirty-three years of achievements. “Beckham’s story is a modern-day fairytale of heroes, villains, love, Manchester United and what it means to lead your country,’’ he explained to the U.K.’s Daily Telegraph. “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.” Archer is still in discussion with producers about bringing the project on stage, so there’s nothing confirmed. I guess we’ll just believe it when we see it.
