The comedian responsible for the failed Raygun musical seems to have found a clever way around the legal issues surrounding her show. Stephanie Broadbridge's Raygun-inspired performance was shut down earlier this month, even before it had a chance to begin, due to the interference of Raygun's lawyers.
However, in a surprising turn of events, Broadbridge has announced a new show that is set to hit the stage next year. Titled Breaking The Musical, this new production is a parody musical that draws inspiration from the breakdancing moves of Raygun, who is actually named Rachael Gunn.
Broadbridge made the announcement on her Instagram account, sharing a poster for the show that no longer features Raygun's name and likeness. Instead, the poster shows a kangaroo silhouette performing Raygun's iconic hop move. Tickets for the show are already available and it is scheduled to run from February to May 2025.
Breaking The Musical will have performances in Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney, though the venues for the latter two are yet to be announced. It will debut at the Adelaide Fringe Festival and run from February 28 to March 2.
The original Raygun the Musical was supposed to take place at the iD Comedy Club in Darlinghurst on December 7. However, Raygun's legal team intervened and stopped the show, citing the need to protect her "intellectual property" and maintain the integrity of her brand.
Broadbridge expressed her disappointment at the cancellation, stating that she knew the artist had put a lot of effort into the show. She also mentioned that had they been made aware of the legal issues sooner, they could have avoided the cancellation.
Meanwhile, Anthony Skinner, the owner of iD Comedy Club, received a $10,000 legal bill from Raygun's team to cover the costs she incurred. He expressed concern about the impact this would have on his business, especially during these difficult times.
Skinner hopes that this will be the end of the legal troubles and that he can continue running his stand-up comedy business without any further obstacles. He also encouraged people to download the 9News app to stay updated on all the latest news, including the weather forecast for Christmas Day.
