The announcement was made yesterday that Becky Gulsvig has broken her toe and will be out for 6 weeks and that Laura Bell Bundy & Lauren Ashley Zakrin will be alternating in the role of Elle during Becky's recovery, which includes the St. Louis engagement at the Fabulous Fox Theatre from January 20-February 1.

As BroadwayWorld first reported and broke the story on this past Saturday evening, the star of the national tour of LEGALLY BLONDE Becky Gulsvig, who has received rave reviews for her performance as Elle Woods across the country, sustained a broken toe following the performance on Thursday, January 8th and will be out of the show for the next six weeks.

Excess volume, perkiness and hype can't disguise the vapid book and mindless score of this cheesy musical adaptation of a beloved movie that may have been bright pink on the outside but was always true blue in its heart

The producers of LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL, who announced previously that original Broadway cast member and Elle understudy Becky Gulsvig had been cast as Elle Woods in the First National Tour, are delighted to announce that full casting has been completed. The tour will kick off in Rhode Island at The Providence Performing Arts Center, PPAC on Sunday, September 21, 2008.
