Stewart Lee and Richard Thomas wrote Jerry Springer: The Opera, which opened in London in 2003. It closed in 2005, but went on tour in the UK in 2006 and was released on DVD (this version was broadcast by the BBC - they received the most complaints ever about the broadcast of a British television programme in response to showing Jerry Springer: The Opera). The show has also been performed in the USA, Canada and Australia.

Jerry Springer: The Opera has been much criticised for the language and themes it contains but has also received many prestigous awards.

The show is referred to as an opera rather than a musical because musicals usually have dialogue (talking) with songs at appropriate moments. In operas there is no talking - all the words are sung, as is the case in Jerry Springer: The Opera.
