Inspired by a trip to Lourdes and the illness and death of a member of her cabaret group, Bryony Lavery’s play Last Easter is a funny and engaging exploration of life, death and friendship. After June, a theatrical lighting designer, is diagnosed with cancer, her three friends decide that an Easter road trip to France, which just happens to include a pilgrimage to Lourdes, is in order.

There's no mincing words here. If you've never seen LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL, you owe it to yourself to get to Midvale Main Street Theatre this week before its production of the show closes. It is the first, and at this point the only planned, non-student presentation of the musical in Utah, and there is little reason to believe there will be other opportunities to see it in the future. Thankfully, this production is more than worth the ticket price.
