Broadbridge was supposed to perform Gunn’s Olympic moves in the musical.

Gunnwho is a university lecturer and PhD in cultural studies, became public in August with his unusual moves at the Paris Olympics. Her performance received rave reviews, she lost all three of her dance battles and received no points for her performances.
After the Olympics, his movements were imitated in entertainment shows and his green competition outfit was also made fun of. In addition, conspiracy theories were spread about how a university lecturer with a doctoral thesis made it to the Australian competition team.

“I worked hard and gave it my all,” Raygun stated in his video message after the Games.

Gunnin lawyers justified the ban by protecting Gunn’s brand. According to lawyers, the use of the Raygun name has caused confusion among the public, who may mistakenly believe that Raygun The Musical has received Gunn’s approval.

Although Raygun received rude treatment on social media, his teammate, the singing star Adele and the Prime Minister of Australia supported him during the Games.
After the Games, the doctor himself announced that he stopped competing “because of the bullying, but was going to continue dancing.
