Sixty People In 900-Seat Opera House As Jerry Springer ‘Bombs’ In York

Jerry Springer The Opera has ‘bombed’ at the Grand Opera House in York, as audiences increasingly desert the expletive-laden blasphemous show.
The highest turn-out was on Monday, the opening night, when just over 500 people ensured the 900-seat venue was a little more than half-full. Since then, figures have plummeted, down to 150 on the Tuesday, no more than 70 on Wednesday and 60 on Friday. On Thursday, the Grand Opera House management offered free tickets to students, but even then only 100 bothered to turn up. Christian evangelists gave out literature and counted the audiences.
