June 19-21 & 25-28
performed on the Community Theatre League Mainstage
Director – NANCY BUTTS
Music Director – ANGELLA LAUBACH
Choreographer – AIMEE HUNSINGER
A fabulously fun, award-winning hit, Legally Blonde The Musical is a vibrant and empowering story packed with laughter, heart, and high-energy entertainment. Based on the beloved film, it follows Elle Woods, a fashionable and determined sorority president whose life changes when her boyfriend dumps her to attend Harvard Law School. Determined to win him back, Elle trades her pink heels for law books and heads to Harvard herself.
Along the way, she discovers her true potential, proving that brains and beauty can go hand in hand. She takes on stereotypes, overcomes self-doubt, and unravels a scandal that rocks the Ivy League. Bursting with catchy songs, dynamic dance numbers, and laugh-out-loud moments, Legally Blonde The Musical is a joyful celebration of self-discovery, sisterhood, and unapologetic sparkle. It is so much fun, it should be illegal.
