A parody musical about viral Olympic breaker Rachael “B-girl Raygun” Gunn has been shut down.
Hours before comedian Steph Broadbridge‘s stage show Breaking: The Musical was set to debut Dec. 7 at iD Comedy Club in Sydney, Australia, the production was canceled after the Olympian’s attorneys sent a cease-and-desist letter, according to Broadbridge.
“Raygun’s lawyers got in touch with the venue and threatened legal action,” the comic, wearing a replica of the breakdancer’s green Olympics outfit, said in an Instagram video posted that day. “So we will be refunding everyone their $10 or comp ticket back for that.”
Broadbridge said that she and the Olympian have since resolved the matter through her legal team, with the comedian ultimately changing the title and poster for the musical to omit the word Raygun and her silhouette. Broadbridge now plans to take the revised show on the road—with Raygun’s approval.
“I’m really happy for her and I wish her all the best with the show and with the tour,” Raygun said in an Instagram video shared Dec. 19, adding, “We have not sought any costs from all this.”
