El Proyecto Youkali, que toma su nombre de una canción de Kurt Weill sobre la utopía de un país idílico, es un collage de historias construido a partir de los testimonios de tres mujeres y un hombre, y del periplo que les lleva al abandono de su lugar de origen en busca de una vida mejor. La acción se desarrolla en el plató de televisión de un programa, precisamente denominado 'El Proyecto Youkali', a través del cual seguiremos la trayectoria de estas cuatro personas durante un periodo de cuatro años. Con catorce personas en escena, el espectáculo incluye varias canciones alusivas a la obra que los actores interpretan en directo.

Today we are taking a listen to the Original London Cast Recording of Jerry Mitchell's sexily studious stunner of a show, LEGALLY BLONDE, and the remarkable score by Laurence O'Keefe (of BAT BOY fame) along with his wife, an accomplished and gifted lyricist in her own right, Neil Benjamin. They are the strongest male/female composing team since Betty Comden and Adolph Green and LEGALLY BLONDE possesses one of the most sharply satirical, witty and effortlessly enjoyable and winning scores in decades, surely as good if not better than any score on Broadway right now. While critics and audiences were less than enraptured with it on Broadway, the MTV telecast and subsequent reality show casting the next Elle Woods - alongside the smash-hit national tours - bodes well for its future in the States. The West End production is ten times the success the show was on Broadway so Elle & Crew have finally arrived - and in style. It's the age of Elle! Plus, A BONUS: A review and link to a new song by another blonde bombshell in her own right, but a bit brainier one than Elle Woods: Nellie McKay! And a link to a download of her new single 'Caribbean Time'! Top hats off and a salutatory Dickensian 'ello' to Elle and Nellie!
