    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.
