Legally Blonde the Musical

I enjoy posting about the musicals and concerts I have the opportunity to see. I realized I never posted about going to see Legally Blonde at the Fox Theatre on April 10. I organized a "Girl's Night Out" and invited my friend Ginger and my friend Jaime. Jaime brought her friend Jen and the four of us had fun sitting 3 rows from the stage! This was the second time I saw Legally Blonde at the Fox. The first time I saw the show I had the pleasure of seeing Laura Bell Bundy play the role of Elle Woods. This was quite a treat since Laura Bell Bundy originated the role of Elle and was nominated for a Tony Award. Laura Bell Bundy filled in as the actor playing Elle in the touring production had broken her toe and was unable to perform. What a treat! Although Laura Bell Bundy was not in this production, the production was enjoyable and seeing it with the girls made it even more fun! The musical is based on the movie, Legally Blonde, and it is meant to be fun! Think Pink! Legally Blonde The Musical opened on Broadway in 2006. Later, the Broadway show was the focus of an MTV reality TV series called Legally Blonde - The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods, in which the winner would take over the role of Elle on Broadway. Two of the girls who competed in the MTV show are part of the touring cast.
