Legally Blonde (musical) |
Sorority star Elle Woods doesn't take "no" for an answer. So when her boyfriend dumps her for someone "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 will take you from the sorority house to the halls of justice with Broadway's brightest new heroine (and of course, her chihuahua, Bruiser). The verdict? This much fun shouldn't be legal!

“My daughter and I just had a ‘Girls Night Out’ and decided to see a Broadway show. We had a fantastic time!
Afterwards, we went to the stage door to get autographs from the cast.
Everyone was so friendly. My daughter even has the autographed Playbill hanging on her dresser mirror!”
