Snaps for Becky! I thought she sounded really beautiful. Less twangy than LBB. I have to say I really missed Annaleigh as Serena :(
And the plot annoys me a little. First, applying to Harvard law is like applying to TJ. If Elle got in over me, I would kill myself. And second, Brooke did not have enough evidence against her. The DA should have never filed that case!

Day 38-12/27/09
Show: Legally Blonde
Date: 7/23/08
Cast: Bailey Hanks as Elle. Pretty much regular for every one else.
Type: Audio
I like this show, ignoring the impracticalities. Bailey was not as bad as I'd heard, but I thought she was better speaking than singing. Her speaking voice reminded me a lot of Reese. And her singing made me think of that kind of girl who's not a bad singer (but you wouldn't say a great singer) and sings all the time, yeah she's popular too--You especially get that vibe when she riffs. She did flub one line pretty early on.
I don't mind Orfeh's Paulette, but I do think she's not the best singer. I kind of think of her Paulette like Phoebe from Friends.
I'm really starting to get into Christian's Emmett, it's all sweet and cute and shit.
Okay, night night.

Day 10-11/29/09
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!
