'Search for the New Elle Woods' Continues Tonight on MTV

Tonight on MTV's "Legally Blonde The Musical: Search for Elle Woods", the 10 finalists move into their new home in NYC (Empire Hotel). The girls face their first acting audition where they meet Legally Blonde the Musical actress, Nikki Snelson (the original Brooke Wyndham). One of the ten finalists is sent home after the judges decide she doesn't have the acting chops to perform on a Broadway stage. The show airs tonight at 10PM EST on MTV.

After the success of "Legally Blonde The Musical", nominated yesterday for 2 Emmy Awards, MTV is once again joining forces with the Legally Blonde The Musical team this time to search for a talented singer/actress/dancer to take over for Broadway star and current lead Laura Bell Bundy.Auditions for the new "Elle" were held in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Orlando and Nashville. MTV's airing of Legally Blonde The Musical reached over 12.5 million viewers during it's premiere weekend.

"Legally Blonde The Musical" is spawned from MGM's hit Legally Blonde film franchise.  "In Legally Blonde, it follows sorority star Elle Woods, who doesn't take 'no' for an answer.  So when her boyfriend dumps her for someone more "serious," Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style," explain press notes.

Nominated for seven Tony Awards, Legally Blonde The Musical opened on Broadway on Sunday, April 29, 2007. The Original Broadway Cast Recording for Legally Blonde The Musical, was released on Ghostlight Records, capturing the #1 slot on the Billboard Cast Album chart, and charting at #86 on the Billboard Top 200.  The album has continued its success, charting every week as one of the top-selling Broadway cast recordings.
