To think Shannon Matthews the Musical should be cancelled.

[containsnuts]

I'm not easily offended but I find this wildly insensitive and inappropriate.

That poor child was held hostage, drugged and went though a traumatic ordeal at the hands of her own mother and the peadophile boyfriend. Why anyone would want to make a musical comedy out of this awful display of child abuse I'll never know.

He produced the original CD 12 years ago. He has only allowed a separate theatre company to bring it to the stage. He does not star in, or direct the show

@Siameasy if someone had been abused in your family and someone made a musical about it would you still find it funny?

Probably not but they haven’t so this is a made up argument. Have you seen the musical or read the accounts of those who have? Do you like policing people’s internal thoughts normally?

The people who cause it to be a sell out EVERY NIGHT!!!!!

If it’s not about her, why use her name? She was the victim

Have you CAPS LOCK STUCK or do you just like SHOUTING?! 😁

[tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz]

Gosh some people getting quite heated while telling us to stop being hysterical.

[GiantSpaceHamster]

I’M OFFENDED!

I’M OFFENDED THAT YOU'RE OFFENDED!

ad nauseum …

It's the fringe, it's satire, it's not aimed at Shannon, it's aimed at her money grabbing family, don't like it then don't watch it and just move on.
Love island and its vapid wannabe sex-for-money immorality on TV is far more offensive to me than this musical will ever be.

[toomuchlaundry]

Why use her name?

[Darbs76]

Yeah that’s bang out of order

[ReneBumsWombats]

@toomuchlaundry

Why use her name?

Because it's based on her story.

@ToGanymedeAndTitan

Those of us who want to go, WILL GO!!!!
So GO THEN, nobody's stopping YOU 🙄
It doesn't make you a Karen to think it's distasteful to make a musical out of someone's suffering though FFS

I guess you'd boycott Evita then. And Titanic?
