Reviews

 -Brooks Appelbaum - CT Critics Circle

"...the delightful production of Legally Blonde: The Musical, directed by Allegra Libonati ... brings out the best in her performers, all of whom are beautifully cast and possess great enthusiasm and talent."

"A spot-on comedienne and a strong actor, Dombrowski (Elle) also dances with verve and has a terrific voice."

"Especially marvelous is Jodi Stevens as Paulette .. intelligent use of her mobile face, height and long limbs, stage presence and terrific voice, she creates a gorgeously unique character and nearly steals every one of her scenes."

"Also excellent is Stephen Hope as Elle's law professor, Callahan...—with leading man looks that heighten the surprises—navigates the path with precision."

"Every actor in the large ensemble sings, dances, and acts with terrific energy and professionalism."

"This production offers not only immediate pleasure but also reasons to think about the dilemmas of youth and identity much longer than one might imagine. The production's unexpected depth is largely due to Dombrowski's determination and sincerity, and to Libonati's wise understanding that in the best comedies, characters take their predicaments seriously, no matter how silly or frothy these predicaments might appear."

-Susan Granger -SSG Syndicate, Brooks Newspapers & CT Critics Circle

"Omigod! They've done it again! The Summer Theatre of New Canaan's production of "Legally Blonde, The Musical" is better than Broadway!"

"Director Allegra Libonati has not only assembled a stellar, multicultural cast and staged a perfectly-paced production but Doug Shankman's inventive choreography has elevated the energetic chorus numbers to stand-up-and-cheer level."

"Filled with vitality and joyous from start-to-finish, this show celebrates its bubbly ridiculousness with perceptive wit."

-Geary Danihy - CT Theater News and Reviews & CT Critics Circle

"If you want to just sit back and enjoy some "Omigod!" fun, then Legally Blonde is your piece of cake..." 

"Dombrowski is all one could ask for in a clueless blonde who actually has a clue. She is lithe, perky and completely engaging. Equally entrancing is Stevens as the boy-friend-hungry hairdresser -- she has just the right mix of moxie and insecurity."

"The 27-member cast sells the premise right from the start so, for at least two hours, the audience buys in."

"Legally Blonde is a perfect "summer" show." 

-Marlene S. Gaylinn - CT Critics Circle

"Under the direction of the mother-daughter team, Melody and Allegra Libonati, brings us a cutesy, sexy, production of 'Legally Blonde' this year."

"The young, firecracker cast ... is dressed in sparkling costumes and short-shorts designed by Lauren Gaston. There are numerous song and dance numbers and ... great choreography by Doug Shankman, it's hard to pick a favorite."  

"'Legally Blonde' is energetic, lighthearted, easy to enjoy entertainment."
