God, how tasteless and crass. Happy to be a Karen on this one and no, won't be watching.

Well, donā€™t be too snobby about it because itā€™s sold out at four week run at the Edinburgh festival

I don't know why you are laughing OP.
There is nothing funny about this at all.

Edited

Totally agree, Iā€™m presuming Shannon may not be finding it as funny. But then I donā€™t read the Daily Star for my news like the OP does so I wouldnā€™t know.

I have a sick sense of humour but I'm not laughing at this.

Just seems incredibly immature.

Are you the writer of the musical, OP?

There have been musicals about worse
French Revolution, er.. sweeny Todd

and ofc the movie of Cats šŸ˜©šŸ˜©

Yeah none of the victims of those events were still alive at the time, where they? Shannon was a blameless girl who was abused and exploited by her mother, and is now trying to live her life in peace. What do you think her life was like, up to and during and after the events depicted in this musical? What do you think it was like for her to grow up and try to make sense of what happened to her? She's a real person going about her day right now.

OMG this is so tasteless. They'll be doing Lucy Letby the musical next.

Sweeny Todd was fiction. And youā€™d be hard pressed to find someone in the audience of Les Mis who was directly impacted or traumatised as a result of the French Revolution.

Itā€™s definitely giving ā€˜Springtime for Hitlerā€™ vibes. And thatā€™s not a good thing.

So much wit must have gone into coming up with the title 'You're a peadophile".

Is this made by 12 year old boys?

You think a child being abused is funny? Or you think the producer of an 'entertainment' about that abuse calling women a misogynistic slur is funny?

FergusSingsTheBIues · 25/10/2024 07:35

Bet Shannonā€™s not laughing.

"Mumsnet Karens" They sound nice.
