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?
