Sydney Musical Inspired by Olympic Breakdancer Canceled Following Legal Threats

Comedian Steph Broadbridge cancels 'Raygun: The Musical' after Olympian Rachael Gunn's legal team raises intellectual property concerns.

The musical, inspired by Olympic breakdancer Rachael Gunn, was set to debut in Sydney but was canceled hours before its premiere.
Gunn's legal team claimed infringement on her intellectual property, including her name 'Raygun' and her signature 'kangaroo dance' move.
Steph Broadbridge, the comedian behind the show, announced plans to rework the musical with a new character name and storyline for future performances.
The cancellation disrupted plans to donate $500 in ticket sales to a Sydney women's shelter, as all tickets had to be refunded.
Gunn's management stated the legal action was necessary to protect her brand and prevent public confusion about her involvement with the musical.
