No surprise here.

 

It's no secret the only way Madonna can act is if she changes the character to Madonna herself.  

 

That's always been the critics problem is Madonna plays Madonna on screen..

 

Rupert Everett said the next best thing. MADONNA'S character was named Karen, and was a swimming instructor..

 

But she couldn't relate to her so her whole part was written to fit her as a person. Karen became abby, And the swimming instructor was ditched for a yoga instructor and the gay element was also not there, but Rupert's character was changed from straight to gay. 

 

And this fits very much the same story. Changed everything to fit her real life persona. The play was trashed by the way and everybody blames Madonna for being the usual authoritarian person she is,.but the industry is afraid to stand up to her at this point.
