Raygun: the musical cancelled after viral Olympian’s legal threat

Some of Gunn’s unconventional moves – such as the sprinkler and kangaroo-hop – went viral after her Olympics performance.

Now, Gunn’s lawyers have reportedly trademarked the poster for the musical and advised Broadbridge that she was “not allowed” to do the kangaroo dance because Gunn “owns” it.

“That one did puzzle me – I mean, that’s an Olympic-level dance,” Broadbridge said in her Instagram video. “How would I possibly be able to do that without any formal breakdancing training?”

She ended her video saying that she intends to change the name of her character to “Raygun with an I” in hopes that “fixes everyone’s concerns”.

In their statement to The Guardian, Gunn’s legal team said: “While we have immense respect for the credible work and effort that has gone into the development of the show, we must take necessary steps to safeguard Rachael’s creative rights and the integrity of her work.

“This action is not intended to diminish the contributions of others, but rather to ensure her brand is properly represented and protected in all future endeavours.”
