As long as the actor is hot as fxxk as Luigi, I’m all in :)
Wait what it was someone’s job to tell me I forgot to get tickets
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.
Dude the weather is political, bathrooms are political, you all don’t leave us much to work with.
I thought it was kinda crazy that this story is becoming a musical, didn’t intend to be political.
Oooh boy! I can’t wait to talk about this on r/theatre!
What the fuck. This is so 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?
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?
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.
allegedly
Just an alleged hero? Hm
He didn’t shoot anybody, he was drinking beers and playing Madden with me that day. The only shots he fired were touchdown passes.
This doesn’t seem fun at all :(
On the contrary, it’s gonna be fun seeing bootlickers melt down.
I do enjoy that. It’s so fucking easy to do
That’s a good point
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.
