“It is hard to think of a more complete 180 degree flip, to come off of a run of Sweeney Todd and land right in the pink and perky land of Legally Blonde, but such is one of the many great joys of theater,” said Sharman Altshuler, Producer & Artistic Director for Moonbox Producitons.  “We are ecstatic to bring this light-hearted, and hilarious musical to the Calderwood Pavilion, and, on top of that, to be collaborating with our very first canine star (who is very pleased to hear that we are partnering for this production with the MSPCA)! We have an absolute dream team on stage and off, and we can't wait to get started!  It will be happy holidays, indeed,” said Altshuler!
