The announcement of a London stage musical titled “Berlusconi,” depicting the turbulent life of Silvio Berlusconi through a feminist prism and produced by British “Fleabag” producer Fra…
” producer Francesca Moody, has prompted the Italian media-mogul-turned-politician’s Mediaset TV to poke fun at the project on its nightly satirical show.
Berlusconi did not react to news of the “Berlusconi” musical, which is set to open on March 29 at London’s Southwark Playhouse Elephant and on Wednesday made headlines in the U.K., Italy and elsewhere.

Berlusconi’s political career has been marred by numerous trials, a tax fraud conviction, and sex scandals linked to his sex-fueled “Bunga Bunga” parties. Currently a senator in Italy’s parliament — after being barred from parliament for a spell due to his conviction — he has more recently come under scrutiny for his close ties to Vladimir Putin from whom, Berlusconi himself revealed, he received in October a case of vodka for his birthday along with a “very sweet letter.
