Cross-posted from “Luigi Mangione Musical Set to Debut Next Month. The Entire Run Is Already Sold Out” by @[email protected] in [email protected]
What the fuck. This is so wild
I thought so too at first, but then got to this part and learned it’s not the first time:
Luigi Mangione is getting the Roxie Hart treatment.
The accused murderer will be the subject of a new musical set to premiere next month in San Francisco, titled Luigi: The Musical.
Also appearing as characters in the musical will be two of Mangione’s fellow inmates at the Metropolitan Detention Center - Sean “Diddy” Combs and Sam Bankman-Fried.
The play is already sold out for its entire run.
The premiere comes 99 years after Hart - a fictional character based on accused murderer Beulah Annan - made her Broadway debut in Chicago.
Annan, like Hart, was ultimately acquitted of murder.
Wait, was that supposed to make this less wild?
“Quick! I need a piano and all the rhymes for Luigi Mangione!”
-Arielle Johnson
There’s gonna be a lot of references to the evidence against him being bologna, an officer named Mahoney, having his hair cut in prison by a jabroney, his MAGA uncle Tony, …anything else?
Um…
"He’s confined all alone, he
's been starved til he’s bony,
And Miranda is phony
Cuz the DA’s a crony
(Hope this song wins a Tony!)"
Editing to add, I discovered there’s already an old Louis Prima song “Luigi” about a numbers runner whose downfall is a corrupt cop. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GAcOxvwZFYA
Was Chuck unavailable?
How is this not the Onion
Tbh a few years ago this would be crazy, but I guess the line between whats nottheonion and what it is is moving everyday
Nothing in here is nottheonion anymore. It’s just another politics community.
I thought it was kinda crazy that this story is becoming a musical, didn’t intend to be political.
Dude the weather is political, bathrooms are political, you all don’t leave us much to work with.
Oooh boy! I can’t wait to talk about this on r/theatre!
This doesn’t seem fun at all :(
On the contrary, it’s gonna be fun seeing bootlickers melt down.
That’s a good point
I do enjoy that. It’s so fucking easy to do
Wait what it was someone’s job to tell me I forgot to get tickets
As long as the actor is hot as fxxk as Luigi, I’m all in :)
Chicago (2002)
He had it comin’
That’s great but can we not give paedophiles the light of day… Crypto scammers, CEO killers sure, but not criminals.
I didn’t know Diddy was a cellmate of Luigi until today. This is WILD!
wait, what??
i looked online, it seems that they are only sharing, not necessarily together
Which paedophile?
Diddy
Aahhh. I see now. It read like they were calling the creator or Luigi a paedophile.
