A couple years ago, I caught an MTV showing of Legally Blonde: The Musical. "How weird!” I thought. "How can they turn Legally Blonde into a play?" Well, I really enjoyed it! I watched it twice :) I haven't seen it on tv since, but I did watch the reality show in which a group of girls auditioned for the new lead. After watching the show, I was excited to see it on Broadway! So I looked it up online to see if it was going to come to California. This was August 2008. The show wouldn't come to CA until August 2009!!! "How long!" But I kept tabs on the show and my mom bought tickets for my birthday! Finally, the big day came.
I didn't know which actress was going to play Elle, the blonde-pink loving-Harvard attendee, so I was in suspense until the show started. I wanted to see Laura Bell Bundy in the lead because I had seen her on tv. But a new girl had been cast. Her name is Becky Gulsvig. And alas! She was wonderful. My mom said that she even held a resemblance to Reese Witherspoon. The entire play was amaaaaaazzzzzing! I knew several of the songs already so I hummed along :) Now, as many of you know, my favorite color is pink. So it was great to have so much pink in one place! The script was funny and witty. The set was colorful and the lighting couldn't have been better! I was in 7th heaven the entire time. I think that I had a grin on my face from start to finish. I didn't want the play to finish! It eventually did...but my Legally Blonde experience wasn't over yet! (Thank goodness!) As my mom, sister, and I walked back to our car, we passed the stage exit door. And...just as we were walking out (even after the crowd had left), out walk the stars of the show! They began signing autographs and taking pictures with the few that had gathered at the door. I got my picture taken with a beautiful girl who was in the Greek Chorus. I also took a picture with one of the buffed up :) actors in the show. It was amazing! It completed my Legally Blonde experience!
Thank you, Mommy, for attending the show with me! And thanks to Alex, who had just as much fun as I did, even with all of the pink decor!
Have a blessed day!
