Legally Blonde

I decided to start this blog in an effort to show the eye rollers out there that even though it looks ridiculous, does not necessarily make it so. I admit to knowing all the words to every High School Musical song and actively watching every episode of The Hills. Some of you may even be rolling your eyes right now, but trust me, they are worth watching. That takes me to my next topic, Legally Blonde the Musical.



I became obsessed with this show after watching the reality show on MTV where girls had to compete to be the next Elle Woods on Broadway. It’s always interesting to watch the challenges they face as well as their talent or lack there of. The touring show finally came to my town and hell yeah I was getting tickets. I dragged two friends along for the joy ride.

I actually enjoyed the show. I was worried it was going to be cheesy, but it was dance heavy and there were a lot of toe tapping songs. I didn’t realize the show was going to be so dance heavy. The show received a great review in the paper too, so I’m not the only out there willing to wear pink and dance around.


The set was very cool. The proscenium was a frame of lights that moved with every scene so the actors were always in the center of the frame. It was cool to watch. Of course the frame changed color to match each scene. I never thought I would say this, but at one point there was waaaay too much pink happening. It was almost blinding. The frame turned pink, the backdrop was pink, the costumes were pink. It was just an explosion.


The worst part was when a dog would enter the stage. Every girl in the audience lost their shit. There were two dogs in the show, Bruiser of course and then another dog of some sort. And every single time they entered the stage all the women everywhere peed. It was cute the first time, but after the fifth entrance, it got kind of old.

So for the dog lovers out there and those who wouldn’t mind too much pink, I recommend this show.
