Incidentally, the play about Jagr is not the only recent "hockey-related" Czech art. A few years ago, there was a modern hockey opera "Nagano" played in the Czech National Theater (sort of an equivalent of New York Metropolitan Opera) - and it was quite successful. Here are a few excerpts:

Part 1: Hasek beats a Canadian:


Part 2: A Canadian beats a puck:


Part 3: Hasek stops Lindros during the shootout against Canadians:


Part 4: Hasek beats a bunch of Russians and then Svoboda scores the GWG in the finals against Russia - probably the funniest!

If it's about Jagr, why does the actor look like Jiri Slegr?

Yeah, that all just clicked in my head right now. It must have been early or something. LOL.

Czech Press Agency made a 4-minute "trailer" video about the play (scroll half-way down):

A mixed review of the play came in from a group privileged critics who got a sneak preview. Most agreed that while the play was entertaining, the actor playing Jagr seemed like he was "dying alive" on stage.
