Australian breakdancer Rachael "Raygun " Gunn's lawyers threatened legal action over the use of her name in a musical.

Comedian Stephanie Broadbridge called off the show just hours before it was set to premiere in Sydney .

Broadbridge said lawyers had trademarked the poster for the musical and told the comedian she could not do Gunn ’s notorious kangaroo dance because the Olympian who went viral for her performance in Paris owns it.

The musical has been rebranded as Breaking: The Musical, with tagline: "A completely legal parody musical".
