Why see Legally Blonde?
OHMIGOD YOU GUYS!
It's time to bend and snap as the fabulous Legally Blonde The Musical hits the road across North America! Based on the iconic MGM movie, this is a 00s nostalgia-fest for everyone. Follow Elle Wood's journey from sparkly pink popular girl to kick-ass law student as she discovers she's so much more than the loser boyfriend who dumped her for not being 'serious' enough. Ugh!
Overflowing with dance numbers and catchy songs, this fabulously fun musical explodes on the stage with well-known scenes and characters, including Bruiser the Chihuahua and the Delta Nu Bond. This show is perfect for brightening anybody's day, and that's not just because it's packed with fresh design and an uplifting message, but because Elle Woods' infectiously bubbly personality is an endorphin for everyone!
What is the story?
Elle Woods has everything, and wants nothing more than to marry the love of her life Warner - but there's one thing stopping him from bending the knee: "Because I'm too... blonde?" Deeming her not serious enough to carry his last name, Elle sets herself a task and follows him to Harvard Law in an attempt to win him back. But whilst she is there, she discovers there's much more to her than just looks and instead ends up finding herself.

Spartacus
A must see
A magically talented cast creates a verbal and musical waltz that is spectacular to behold. It’s fun from beginning to end, the audience is laughing and crying and the closing court scene is Broadway coordinated. Truly fantastic. I met Canadiens who flew in from Vancouver BC to see the show and were so impressed.
Elle tirelessly and seamlessly connects each scene and has a voice that is rich, powerful, perfect in pitch and simply glorious. Her mannerisms, facial expressions and endless energy make her a star. Her acting transfixes all; you can hear a pin drop and feel her disappointment when she laments certain behaviors in song (no spoilers here). Her performance extracts incredible empathy from the audience and then awe as her character arc brings her to a strong, confident, independent woman.
Paulette and Kyle’s relationship is so much fun and keeps you laughing all the time. Kyle should be a national tours first choice to be the UPS man as should Elle. The musical is so well directed that every character in every scene from beginning to end plays their part, has distinct mannerisms, pays attention to detail and adds to the humor of the scene. Bravo.
This is a must see that is readily available and affordable and is right here, right now in our own Portland. Go see it if you can find a ticket, you won’t be disappointed. Don’t fall for the alternative sites asking $400 a ticket, no ticket should be over $100 and is usually between $37 and $68. There’s no bad seat in the house, the theater is small, 300+ seats.
Enjoy. ... Read more
