ABC forces changes to Bachelor the Musical: An Unauthorized Parody poster

The Hollywood Reporter

Bachelor the Musical: An Unauthorized Parody has been running in venues across Los Angeles since September. But on May 1, the network sent a cease-and-desist letter to the producers. "They just wanted the language across all our marketing to be even clearer that this project was not affiliated with The Bachelor," says Richelle Meiss, the actress-writer behind the parody. "So, we changed the color of the logo to not include black or red — it's now a non-Bachelor gold — and removed the rose petals falling from the poster. (The network's) legal team appreciated our efforts to be flexible." ALSO: NBA Finals bumps next week's Bachelorette to Tuesday.
