Australian Olympian Raygun has issued a heartfelt response to, and explanation of, the sudden cancellation of a musical inspired by her infamous Paris performance. Raygun: The Musical was set for a trial show at the Kinselas Hotel in Sydney on Saturday night, but on the morning of the debut show, Rachael Gunn’s lawyers stepped in and threatened legal action.
But had we known about it sooner, there could have been a different outcome. “I really do strive to support creativity and have loved the ways my performance has sparked so many different artistic interpretations. “And there were so many fantastic memes that were clever and funny and creative; I have a whole folder of them on my phone. So, not being able to take a joke is not what the issue is here.” Speaking to her almost 200,000 Instagram followers, Raygun said it was not about the money.
