The Bend ‘n Snap on Stage - Legally Blonde is now a Musical!
In 2001, a beautiful blonde from Bel Air taught movie goers around the world a thing or two about girl power. She was Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) and the movie was ‘Legally Blonde’. Now Elle is back on stage complete with her glamor, drop-dead gorgeous looks and a mind that’s faster than a steel trap. She is all set to subvert the ‘blonde’ image by proving that blondes can give all redheads and brunettes a run for their Law degrees (and their fiances). Broadway presents Legally Blonde, the musical!
Legally Blonde, the musical, based on Amanda Brown’s novel and the 2001 film of same name, has been given music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin.
Legally Blonde had its pre-Broadway tryout at the Golden Gate Theater in San Francisco beginning in previews on January 23, 2007 and playing its final performance in San Fransisco on February 24, 2007. After some changes to the score and minor adjustments to the book, the show opened for previews on April 3, 2007. The Broadway production, directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell, opened on April 29, 2007 at the Palace Theater to mostly positive reviews.
The musical, divided into 2 Acts, manages to capture the essence of the critically acclaimed movie effectively, accentuated by the situational songs. Fans of the original movie can probably already predict which moments become songs, and if they bet on the bend and snap, they gambled right - there’s actually a song called ‘Bend and Snap’. All characters get their very own songs, yes even Paulette (Elle’s beautician friend).
Synopsis of the musical
When the musical opens, the screaming, ultra-glamorous girls of sorority Delta Nu are celebrating the imminent engagement of Warner Huntington the Third, to their blonde sorority president, Elle Woods. It is only after Elle comes back from her dinner date with Warner that they all realize that she has been dumped because she isn’t ’serious’ enough to be the wife of someone who might be a Senator some day. Elle decides to graduate from Harvard Law School in order to prove to Warner and others that she can be serious. To everyone’s surprise, she gets into Harvard and even manages to stick to school despite being declared a misfit (and coming face-to-face with Warner’s mean fiance, Vivian).
All tables are turned when Elle, using her wit (and vast knowledge of skin and hair care) manages to win a murder case single handedly and save fitness mogul Brooke Wyndham. Somewhere along the way Elle realizes that Warner is selfish and undeserving of love. She dumps him and goes on to live a life full of success and love (she accepts her long time friend Emmett’s proposal).
