Show: Legally Blonde
Date: 2/24/07 (I think, by deductive reasoning)
Type: Video
Cast: Laura Bell Bundy, Richard Blake, Christian Borle, Orfeh, Kate Shindle, Annaleigh Ashford, Nikki Snelson
I think this show is/was really cute. I like the way it spun the movie a little for the music, and I think the songs were created so well to work. I think Laura Bell Bundy is real cute and definitely adds a lot of perk and spunk to the character, although I did like how in the movie despite being blonde Reese could make Elle actually take herself seriously. I think Richard Blake almost looks exactly how Warner did in the movie, and pretty good voice. Christian Borle is also really good, I like how he looks a little nerdier than Luke Wilson. Orfeh has a good voice, but I'm not in love with her Paulette. Definitely like Vivienne. I thought she looked a little prettier than in the movie, and it's definitely wonderful. The entire sorority was really cute and great.
I think this was Pre-Broadway, because Positive isn't included. I'm not even sure what that song is that they're singing, but my god, Positive is so much better. I also thought some of the songs seemed to be lacking energy, this could be because I'm watching at midnight but also it could be because it is lacking energy. So Much Better was awesome, like so cute! Whipped Into Shape was nice, but I liked the Ali Larter Brooke so much more, because she kind of had a little bit of a fear factor. Take It Like A Man is cute and funny, and she has really nice voice. The "I see dead people" before the Bend and Snap was hillllarrriiooous. the Bend and Snap was a hilarious scene in the movie and it translated soo well, so funny! I didn't like Legally Blonde, because I think it's so stupid that they made a song from the title and it's too ballady. But I did really love the Legally Blonde Remix and Ireland Reprise. Hate that they went back to the "scene of the crime" because that would just NEVER happen.
The ending was great, though.
I liked it and it'll be interesting to watch or listen again with understudies and such!

It is very cute! I remember when it first came out I was obsessed with it. The song in place of Positive was probably Love and War. I think. Oh, and I'm the most ridiculous person ever. I sometimes cry when I hear Christian's part in the song Legally Blonde. He just breaks my heart, lol.
