David Beckham: The Musical

Every legitimate playwright must be rolling over in their graves.

A British dramatist is looking to bring a David Beckham biopic to the stage and in the form of a musical no less.

The guy behind David Beckham – The Theatre of Dreams spoke with the Daily Telegraph about his vision:
 

“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.”

He’s got a point. What fairytale doesn’t include Manchester United and a hottie soccer player footballer with a Spice Girl for a wife?
 

Here are some lyrics to mull over as you go about your day:
 

The Beckham character singing about life in England in the ’90s --
 

Talk about football coming home,
And then one night in Rome,
We were strong, we had grown,
And now I see Ince ready for war,
Gazza good as before,
Shearer certain to score,
And Psycho screaming.

Upon meeting his wife, Posh –
 

A change has come around,
As I worship this ground,
With you in my life,
We’re turning the world upside down.

This idea totally has Tony award written all over it.
