Ladies and gentlemen, we almost had it. We almost had a Raygun musical.
Look at the beautiful poster for this one-of-a-kind musical:
Unfortunately, that premier never happened, because Raygun lawyered up and put a stop to it.
Here's what happened:
Australian breaker Rachael Gunn's legal team has stopped a musical parody about her journey to the Paris Olympics from taking to the stage.
The show titled 'Raygun: The Musical' was created by Australian comedian Steph Broadbridge, who was also due to feature in the cast.
It was due to debut on Saturday at Kinselas in Darlinghurst, Sydney, but Broadbridge was forced to cancel the show after lawyers sent a cease and desist letter, saying that the Olympian owned the dance moves.
Here's the statement from Gunn's legal team:
And the comedians very comedic reaction to being forced to cancel her show:
I mean, that's an Olympic-level dance. How would I possibly be able to do that without any formal breakdancing training?
Broadbridge says she will change the name of the musical to "Raigun" to try to avoid the lawsuit. I'm sure it'll take a little more than that, but this musical needs to be a thing, so we hope they can come up with something.
Until next time, I'll leave you with these dance moves, which Raygun apparently "owns," according to her lawyers:
