What the fuck. This is so wild

[-] [email protected] 33 points 2 months ago

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?

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

Tbh a few years ago this would be crazy, but I guess the line between whats nottheonion and what it is is moving everyday

[-] [email protected] -2 points 2 months ago

Nothing in here is nottheonion anymore. It's just another politics community.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I thought it was kinda crazy that this story is becoming a musical, didn't intend to be political.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Dude the weather is political, bathrooms are political, you all don't leave us much to work with.

This doesn't seem fun at all :(

[-] [email protected] 37 points 2 months ago

On the contrary, it's gonna be fun seeing bootlickers melt down.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I do enjoy that. It’s so fucking easy to do

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

That's a good point

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Shame its about after his arrest. Would have been cool to see the backstory of tragedy that lead him to commit such a heroic act.

He didn’t shoot anybody, he was drinking beers and playing Madden with me that day. The only shots he fired were touchdown passes.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Just an alleged hero? Hm

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

He had it comin'

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Wait what it was someone's job to tell me I forgot to get tickets

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

As long as the actor is hot as fxxk as Luigi, I’m all in :)

[-] [email protected] -4 points 2 months ago

That's great but can we not give paedophiles the light of day.. Crypto scammers, CEO killers sure, but not criminals.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

I didn't know Diddy was a cellmate of Luigi until today. This is WILD!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

wait, what??

i looked online, it seems that they are only sharing, not necessarily together

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago
[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago
[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Aahhh. I see now. It read like they were calling the creator or Luigi a paedophile.
