Based on the adored movie, Legally Blonde: The Musical stays true to form with a peppy score and playful book. Elle Woods appears to have it all. Her life is turned upside-down, however, when her boyfriend Warner Huntington dumps her so he can start getting serious about his life and attend Harvard Law School. Determined to get him back, Elle uses her charm to get admitted to the school. Once there, she struggles with peers, professors, and her ex-boyfriend. With the help of her new friends Paulette and Emmett, Elle quickly realizes her potential and sets out to prove herself to the world. In a conclusion that is equal parts courtroom drama and musical comedy, Elle discovers her authentic inner power and, in the process, finds her true love at last.
