LEGALLY BLONDE follows sorority star Elle Woods (played by Becky Gulsvig in the current US tour), an underestimated blonde who doesn't take "no" for an answer. When her boyfriend dumps her for someone more "serious," Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style.LEGALLY BLONDE: The Musical is based on the Amanda Brown novel and the 2001 MGM film of the same name which starred Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods. The musical features a book by Heather Hach, music and lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin, with direction and choreography by Jerry Mitchell.
