LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL, presented by BMI, premieres at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center's Andrew Jackson Hall, June 23-28, 2009, as part of HCA/TriStar Broadway at TPAC.

LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL will 'bend and snap' June 16 - 21, 2009 at the Schuster Center (One West Second Street - corner of 2nd and Main Streets). Sorority star Elle Woods 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.
