Share

(Newser) – Jerry Springer will test his singing, dancing, and acting chops in a production of Chicago in London’s prestigious West End, the Times of London reports. Springer, a former lawyer, will play the role of lawyer Billy Flynn. The talk show host acknowledged that musical theater would have its challenges: "When I sing the audience really gets involved because they will have to guess where the notes were supposed to have been."
