DIEGO MARADONA - MARADONA THE MUSICAL

A musical based on Argentinean soccer legend DIEGO MARADONA is heading for New York's Broadway stage.

No10 SHIRT - BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL, will follow Maradona's rollercoaster career, from captaining his country to victory in the 1986 WORLD CUP to the drug abuse which helped end his playing career - seen through the eyes of an 80-year-old Maradona.

Director HECTOR BERRA says, "It is about the dreams and nightmares of the greatest soccer idol."

The show will premiere in Argentinean capital Buenos Aires in January (04) - but Berra is planning to translate it into English and take it to London's West End and New York's Broadway.
