Original LEGALLY BLONDE Cast 'Dying' To Produce Reunion Concert

Laura Bell Bundy has revealed that the 'entire' cast of Legally Blonde the Musical was hoping to get back together for the show's 15th anniversary last year.

In an interview with BroadwayDirect she said "Yes. I would love to see it happen. We had it on the books last year for our 15th anniversary, but the creative team felt like they needed a bit more time. I think it’s still in the works, and I would love to do it. And our entire cast is on board!"

Original Broadway cast member Orfeh, who created the iconic role of Paulette (originated by Jennifer Coolidge in the film) said to BroadwayWorld in an exclusive statement "My dear Jerry Mitchell can attest and confirm that I have been jumping up and down and bugging him to do this since Pretty Woman, it almost happened not that long ago, but there just wasn’t enough pre-planning time straight out of the pandemic."

"We had a reunion at Laura Bell Bundy's not too long ago & if you’re on Tik Tok, you know we’ve all 'still got it'. The demand for this reunion is almost immeasurable the popularity of Legally Blonde & the Original Broadway Cast is off the charts. We're dying to do it."
