Tonya Harding “whack around the world” opera showing in Portland

Tonya Harding, the Pacific Northwest’s ultimate bad girl, is back in the spotlight. It has been 14 years since the notorious figure skaters’ drama–the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan leg-whacking episode— took place, but Tonya gets to relive it all over again on stage.

The story has been turned into a rock opera that you can catch in downtown Portland at the World Trade Center. “Tonya & Nancy: The Rock Opera” continues Thursdays through Sundays until March 8. Tickets for the “whack around the world” show are $20-$25 and are available online.

I am sure this concept could become a trend. I can see the “Britney Spears: The American Tragedy” opera coming out any day now.
