A musicalization of the popular feature film starring Reese Witherspoon as stylish Harvard Law student Elle Woods, Legally Blonde received seven 2007 Tony nominations, including nods for actors Laura Bell Bundy as Elle, Orfeh star of Saturday Night Fever as Paulette and Christian Borle as Emmett and a best choreography nomination for Jerry Mitchell who also directed. The show features a book by Tony nominee Heather Hach and score by the Tony-nommed team of Nell Benjamin and Laurence O'Keefe.... blahhh
