Musical about the Beckhams planned

There are plans to bring the story of David and Victoria Beckham to the stage in a new musical.

Contactmusic.com reports that the production would be called 'David Beckham - The Theatre of Dreams'.

Producer Mark Archer said: "[David] Beckham's story is a modern-day fairytale of heroes, villains, love, and what it means to lead your country."

He continued: "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."

If the football star gives the production the go-ahead, it will also focus on his marriage to the Spice Girls singer.
