LA Galaxy's Beckham to become West End musical

LA Galaxy and England star David Beckham could have his life celebrated in a West End musical!

The Telegraph says West End producers are this week discussing the prospect of staging a musical entitled David Beckham - The Theatre of Dreams.

"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.

"With football and celebrity now firmly established as new secular Western religions, The Theatre of Dreams is set within a cheering football stadium - the modern-day church. The music is powerful, gospel-like rock to establish clearly football and Manchester United as a religion.''
