The summer kicks off with a bona fide Broadway Musical Smash at HART. “Legally Blonde the Musical” opening May 20 is based on the popular 2001 film which made a star of Reese Witherspoon as the quintessential sorority girl Elle Woods. The musical goes one step further with show stopper numbers that will bring you to your feet. Elle enrolls at Harvard Law School to win back her ex-boyfriend Warner. She discovers how her knowledge of the law can help others and successfully defends exercise queen Brooke Wyndham in a murder trial. Throughout the show no one has faith in Elle but she manages to surprise them when she defies expectations while staying true to herself.
The musical opened on Broadway in April 2007 and became an instant hit being nominated for seven Tony Awards and three Olivier Awards for the London production, winning Best Musical in London. The show ran for nearly 600 performances in New York and then toured for over three years. A dynamite cast directed by Mark Jones includes: Taylor Aldrich as Elle, Logan Marks, Kristen Hedburg, Luke Haynes, Sarah Fowler, Jeffrey Streitfeld, Alexia Lauren, Calintha Briggs, Emily Warren, Candice Owen, Annelise Henry, Karyn Panek, Holly Ann Caldwell, Tristan Cameron, Richard Walden, Jessica Savitt, Alexa Edelman, Ruth Butler, Holly Cope, Charlie Cannon, Sean Bruce, Alexandra Catlin, Frank Davis, Ashley Huber.
