Things that make you go 'huh?'

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

A musical theater production in California about Andrew Cunanan's 1997 killing spree is drawing opposition from members of the gay community.

Cunanan, a 27-year-old reputed gay escort, was linked to five murders, including the Miami slaying of Gianni Versace and the Chicago murder of real estate developer Lee Miglin

''Cunanan was sick and do you celebrate that? People's lives were gone and do you celebrate that?'' asked Bill Peters of the Gay and Lesbian Community Center in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

~~ I'm not saying "huh?" about the opposition. I'm wondering who came up with the idea that this story should be turned into a musical. There have been plenty of movies/plays about real-life serial killers -- and some of them are even really good. But a musical? That's just wrong.
