Legally Blonde Tour 2008 - Articles Page 3.4

According to Deadline, MGM is near a deal with Reese Witherspoon to reprise her role as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde 3, along with the majority of the creative team from the first film.

First there was Grease: You're the One That I Want! On NBC in 2007. Then on MTV came Legally Blonde: The Search for the Next Elle Woods on Broadway in 2008. Soon, theater fans will be excited to watch the next Broadway-themed reality show.

Rita Simons (EastEnders), Bill Ward (Coronation Street and Emmerdale), and Lucie Jones (Eurovision) star in this new production of the show, based on the Reese Witherspoon film.

Feinstein's/54 Below, will present Legally Blonde: The Search For Elle Woods Reunion Concert on July 23rd, 2018, at 7:00 and 9:30pm. The 2008 MTV series was famously designed to pick the replacement for Tony-nominated leading lady Laura Bell Bundy in the 2006 Broadway musical, based on the film of the same title. Join the ladies of The Search For Elle Woods as they reunite at Feinstein's/54 Below for the first time and celebrate 10 years of friendship, pink, and perfection! Cast members to include Rhiannon Hanson, Lauren Zakrin, and Rachel Potter.

EastEnders' Rita Simons, Lucie Jones, who is representing the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest with 'Never Give Up On You' on Saturday May 13, and Bill Ward, star of Coronation Street and Emmerdale are to star in a major new UK tour of the smash-hit Broadway and West End musical Legally Blonde The Musical.

Playwright Jake Brunger and composer Pippa Cleary have been creating musicals together since they met at Bristol University in 2008. Their work includes Jet Set Go!, The Great British Soap Opera and an adaptation of Sue Townsend's beloved The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 . The latter begins a London run at the Menier Chocolate Factory this week.

Before appearing in front of the entire world on MTV's 2008 LEGALLY BLONDE casting series, actress Autumn Hurlbert had been honing her stage skills since childhood. And, although she came up second in the televised competition (still receiving a contract in the Broadway production!), Autumn left the show certain of her drive to create art without the need for fame. Now, she is touring with the recent New York hit SOMETHING ROTTEN, and I caught up with her in Houston, where the show made a stop on their way to Dallas' Winspear Opera House.
