would you believe "nancy kerrigan the rock opera"? 
Seventeen years ago this month, Stoneham ice princess Nancy Kerrigan was clubbed on the knee by a gang of thugs connected to her Olympic rival, Tonya Harding. So why, why, why not make the sordid skating saga a rock opera???
“Tonya and Nancy: The Rock Opera” by Arlington scribe Elizabeth Searle is coming to the Oberon Theatre in Harvard Square on Feb. 1 and 2, but don’t expect to see the 1994 Olympic silver medalist in the audience.
Kerrigan, whose family was rocked by tragedy a year ago when her father died, allegedly after a violent struggle with her brother, has no desire to revisit anymore painful portions of her past.
