A musical inspired by viral Olympic breakdancer Raygun was shut down hours before it was due to open on Saturday, after lawyers representing the athlete threatened legal action, the show's creator said on social media.
The 37-year-old dancer's routine consisted of moves including a kangaroo hop, a backward roll and various contortions with her body while lying or crawling on the floor. She did not register a single point across her Olympic battles against breakers from the United States, France and Lithuania in August, losing 18-0 in all three rounds.Ezra Shaw/Getty Images via CNN Newsource
Broadbridge said that anyone who had bought a ticket would be refunded their 10 Australian dollars . The proceeds from the event were originally intended to be donated to the Women's and Girls Emergency Centre - a charity that supports women and children affected by homelessness, domestic violence and systemic disadvantage.
The musical was advertised as including songs like "You May Be a B-girl But You'll Always Be an A-girl To Me," "I'm Breaking Down," and "I Would Have Won But I Pulled a Muscle," according to its Eventbrite listing. That listing now says the show is called "Breaking: The Musical."
