A musical based on the Netflix hit Bridgerton was has been cancelled, after the streaming giant threatened legal action over copyright.
Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, pictured at VidCon in June, have not yet commented on the musical's cancellation
Production company Shondaland, founded by veteran US TV producer Shonda Rhimes, adapted the books for Netflix. Their videos featured original songs, and invited users to add their own verses. Barlow would generally sing the lead vocals, while Bear would play the instruments and sing backing vocals. The songs were fun, playful and catchy and swiftly found an audience.
The pair occasionally played down their sudden fame, with Barlow saying in an interview with NPR: "We're just two girls, like, having fun writing music in our bedroom." When Barlow and Bear attempted to monetise their success by staging their own musical in Washington DC and charging up to $149 per ticket, Netflix intervened.
