Victoria and David Beckham Musical in Production

Victoria and David Beckham are set to be satirized on-stage -- in a musical based on the lives of the famous famous couple.
The play, entitled MacBecks, is reportedly set to open at Dublin's Olympia Theatre next January.
Long Road Productions, who are involved in the musical and have previously worked with 'Riverdance', say the production draws inspiration from Shakespeare.
The company's director, Ronan Smith, said, "We're very excited by the script -- it's a wild comedy romp that borrows from Shakespeare's 'Macbeth', 'King Lear', 'Romeo and Juliet', as well as Cyrano de Bergerac.
"It will be a musical based on the world's best known soccer player."
The character of Victoria will be based on Lady Macbeth and be portrayed as a ruthless and ambitious woman who David sacrifices his career for.
The musical will also feature actors portraying former England football manager Sven Goran Eriksson, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and the woman David allegedly had an affair with, Rebecca Loos.
According to reports, the script is being written by Gary Cooke and Malachy McKenna. The pair previously starred in another soccer spoof production, 'I, Keano', which depicted David's former Manchester United teammate Roy Keane and his infamous quitting of the Irish World Cup squad in 2002.
