Based on the novel and the bestselling film of the same name, Legally Blonde: the Musical follows the journey of the infamous Elle Woods, a fashion-conscious UCLA sorority who sees her life turned upside down when she is abandoned by her boyfriend Warner. To prove to Warner that she is more than just a blonde sister, she follows him to Harvard Law, where she struggles to fit in and do well. In the end, she defies expectations and manages to stay true to her gorgeous pink personality. She, believing that the blonde is the problem, decides to become a brunette. She goes to the Hair Affair salon, where she meets beautician Paulette, who, after advising Elle that all bad hair choices are motivated by love, tells Elle about her dreams of meeting a handsome Irishman (“Ireland”), and encourages her not to give up or minimize her personal qualities.
In the living room, Vivienne, who is talking about a party planned for next Friday, gives Elle an unexpected invitation and tells her that it is a costume party. Paulette sends Elle dressed in a costume for the party with encouraging words (“Ireland (Reprise)”). A star law student with academic credits that would intimidate anyone. Enid is a passionate feminist. It`s a fun role for an actor who can truly bring his unique self to these roles – a distinct, confident personality who can make bold decisions. Based on Amanda Brown`s novel and the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film, the beloved Harvard blonde enters the pink storm phase in this funny and optimistic story of self-discovery. Warner proposes to Elle after he is abandoned by Vivienne. She kindly refuses, claiming to have been altered by the experience. Three years later, she finished first in her class.
Paulette tells the audience that she doesn`t brag about her status as a farewell speaker, so she decided to allow Paulette to perform “Where Are They Now” during her speech. Paulette says Enid practices family law, that Vivienne trained for the Peace Corps and dropped out of Warner to pursue a modeling career. Callahan ran for governor but was defeated, and his wife hired Emmett to settle their divorce. Paulette married Kyle, had two children and is pregnant with a third. They live in Worcester, Massachusetts, and Paulette bought a new salon (“Find My Way”). At the end of the graduation, she proposes to Emmett, who happily accepts (“Finale”). The musical was translated into German for the Austrian premiere. He will also celebrate his first French-Canadian in Montreal in May 2014. † – Not based on the original recording of the Broadway cast Legally Blonde is based on the 2001 film, which in turn is based on the novel Legally Blonde by Amanda Brown.

Margot is a Delta Nu sister obsessed with men and a bit dumb.
