Who said what and when during the battle between Olympic breaker Rachael Gunn, musical creator Steph Broadbridge and promoter Anthony Skinner. Rachael “Raygun” Gunn says “we’ve resolved everything” after earlier in December shutting down Raygun: The Musical by the comedian Steph Broadbridge.

The Australian Olympic breaker said on Thursday “we’ve come to an agreement” after a “wild ride”, meaning the show could proceed with a different name and poster. Gunn also insisted “we have not sought any costs from all this” despite her lawyers asking the promoter, Anthony Skinner, for $10,000 to cover legal fees.
So why is the stoush back in the news? Who said what and when?. The poster for Raygun: The Musical went public on 25 September. It was due to debut at a comedy club, owned by Skinner, in the Kinselas hotel in Darlinghurst on 7 December. The show was advertised as a “parody exploration” of the breaker’s journey to the Olympics, with musical songs including 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.
The musical’s creator, Broadbridge, told the Sydney Morning Herald the performance would be a “piss-take, but it’s done with love”. “I really want [Raygun] to see it,” she told the Herald. “I’m terrified, though. What if she doesn’t like it?”.
