In the euphemistically titled Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth, the famed boxer will present his side of the story, his story, as written by him and his wife. Tyson himself will be delivering the lines, so it's about as first-person as you can get.
The website promoting the show promises a "riveting one-man show." Not so sure how riveted I'd be, but I'm not a huge boxing fan, either. Still, it might be entertaining to see just full of himself Tyson can be. I do recall that he used to give rather festive interviews, especially after he won his fights (which he managed to do a whole lot of during his career).I am a fan of the show's director, Spike Lee, who says that Tyson is a "great storyteller." Well, that might be true, as far as it goes. Whether his stagemanship surpasses his showmanship and ringmanship remains to be seen.
The show, which ran in Las Vegas earlier this year, runs on Broadway for just six night, from July 31 to August 5.
At 90 minutes, the show is sure to be longer than some of Tyson's fights.
