David Beckham: The Musical? | David Beckham

He’s already conquered Hollywood - so why not the stage?

A British dramatist is in talks to bring ’s life story - in musical form! - to London’s West End.

“His rise from obscurity to international stardom, his universally acknowledged gifts as a supreme sportsman, and his Hollywood lifestyle all have the elements of an aspirational fable,” librettist Mark Archer told the U.K.’s Daily Telegraph.

It would feature “powerful, gospel-like rock,” Archer said. And, of course, Beckham’s wife Victoria would make an appearance. Sample lyrics (upon meeting the Spice Girl):

A change has come around,
As I worship this ground,
With you in my life,
We’re turning the world upside down.

In real life, Beckham has soccer - not singing - on his mind. He’s preparing to play on England’s national team in their August 20 match against the Czech Republic.
