Legally Blonde, The Musical is based on the popular hit film of the same name starring actress Reese Witherspoon. This unique musical brought a burst of extreme energy to traditional Broadway fare. It was sponsored by MTV due to its exciting songs and fun cultural appeal. Reviewers were unanimous in their praise; "A MEGA HIT" - the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times acclaimed - "A NON STOP SUGAR RUSH OF A SHOW" and from Variety, "TRADES UP ON THE FILM IN INFECTIOUS COMEDY".
"Legally Blonde is just the prescription for this summer" remarks Melody Meitrott Libonati, the theatre's artistic director. She adds "After the highly successful run of Hairspray last summer we will keep the energy turned up high and flowing with this exciting musical about female empowerment."
A fabulously fun international award-winning musical follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes, snobbery, and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. This action-packed musical explodes on the stage with memorable songs and dynamic dances. Equal parts hilarious and heart-warming warming, this musical is so much fun it should be illegal!
