The world just can’t seem to get enough of David and Victoria Beckham.
With riveting daily appearances of the couple leaving some restaurant, and David modeling undies on banners that are so huge you can actually see his junk from space, it’s no wonder the world in obsessed with the Becks.
Luckily, Ireland has come to provide us with more Beckham madness. A Posh and Becks musical is coming to Dublin. Yes, two straight hours of a man unsuccessfully trying to feed a crouton to a broomstick is finally a reality!
David and Victoria Beckham are rather perplexing. It may be because we still harbour a deep grievance because our alter ego, Greasy Spice, wasn’t selected to be part of the Spice Girls, but it doesn’t make sense that a couple famous for being photographed leaving restaurants, walking hand in hand like two impeccably dressed zombies are such a phenomenon.
Sure, David probably wishes his popularity would invigorate interest in football in the US instead of being known for having a wife that looks like a fashionable Skeletor with breast implants, but he's popular nonetheless.
The Beckhams are like a runaway freight train you’d throw your gran in front of if you believed she could stop it. But since she probably won’t, the next logical thing is to make a musical about the couple called MacBecks, which is scheduled to open in January 2009 in Dublin.
Okay, so the idea of a musical about David and Victoria Beckham isn’t quite as painfully disabling once a few more details are unearthed. It’s going to be a satirical mix of comedy, song, headlines about the couple, and bit of plays by William Shakespeare, including Romeo and Juliet, King Lear and, obviously, Macbeth. So, to clarify, as long as stuff is being mocked, we're all good.
Reportedly, Posh’s character will be ambitious like Lady Macbeth, whose husband will sacrifice his career for her. No report on if a Tom Cruise character will step in and encourage David’s character to relocate to a new continent where David’s fame will turn out to be over-estimated in its ability to get people interested in a sport they’re not interested in.
Sadly, it doesn’t look as though Posh’s character will be played by Posh herself, but a mop is said to be on the verge of securing the role. Luckily for the mop, Katie Holmes is already signed on for another Broadway play, eliminating the mop’s fiercest competition.

The real life Victoria Beckham has been acting for quite a while now her parody/comedy portrayal role where she unsuccessfully plays a ‘Fashion Designer’ is a joy to behold albeit a little over the top and far fetched at times!

The David Beckham role? Will there be any De Niro type method acting involved? Will the stage production’s actor be chosen from a list of semi-articulate/low IQ applicants whom are prepared to ingest Helium and copious tranquilizer dosages in order to get the voice right?

Oi! Don’t insult mops! Mine is far less wooden than Victoria!
