      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.

        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

        I thought it was kinda crazy that this story is becoming a musical, didn’t intend to be political.

    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.

        He didn’t shoot anybody, he was drinking beers and playing Madden with me that day. The only shots he fired were touchdown passes.

          Aahhh. I see now. It read like they were calling the creator or Luigi a paedophile.
