A Timeless Tale Reimagined in Theatre
Most are familiar with the story of Elle Woods the stylish and feisty heroine who will not be underestimated. Made famous by the cult film this musical adaptation reimagines the film classic as an intimate yet sweeping experience.
Legally Blonde the Musical is a celebration of spirit and beauty. It follows Elle as she makes the journey from sorority to Harvard Law School driven at first by a desire to win back her ex-boyfriend but ultimately discovering her own voice and strength.
This is not a rehash but a raising of the bar. Look for dynamic choreography witty staging and music that will be etched in your mind long after the last curtain call. Every note every step every laugh is crafted to entertain audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
A Night at the Howard Brubeck Theater
Situated on the Palomar College campus, the Howard Brubeck Theater offers the perfect setting for this production. Its refined but unstuffy atmosphere invites you to sit back and indulge in the magic of live theater in comfort.
Imagine stepping into a warm July evening dressed for a night at the theater. The gentle San Diego breeze is with you as you stroll across campus. In the theater the lights go down the orchestra begins and you are transported immediately into a world of pink stilettos courtroom drama and ballads.
For theatre enthusiasts, this is an opportunity not to be missed. It is a tribute to the ability of live theatre to unite a community in laughter, song and story.
A Production Teeming with Talent and Heart
Luminary Arts has earned a name for staging productions that are professional in nature but with local character. Their Legally Blonde the Musical promises to bring the same meticulous direction and vibrant performances that have made past productions a success.
The cast brings Elle's world to life with style and vitality. From tart professors to supportive new friends each and every one of the characters contributes to a world that is laugh-out-loud funny and surprisingly emotional. The choreography explodes with personality as the music throbs with humor and emotion.
And of course, there is Elle herself. A heroine who evolves from fashion-forward sorority queen to intelligent lawyer who will not be underestimated. To watch her develop before your eyes on stage is entertaining and inspiring especially for anyone who has had the good fortune of defying the naysayers and doubters.
A Story of Lasting Popularity
Part of the reason that Legally Blonde has endured is that it has just the right mix of humor and substance. Yes it is full of fantastic dialogue and fantastic fashion but in the end it is a film about self-discovery.
Elle's story is so plausible because it reminds us that appearances are not always what they seem that intelligence and kindness do not have to be mutually exclusive and that to be yourself is the greatest act of bravery.
For San Diego audiences, this production is the chance to view these themes reinterpreted in a fresh and thrilling way. It's a chance to introduce a new generation to a story of individuality strength and hope.
