In 2007, LEGALLY BLONDE painted Broadway's Palace Theatre pink with its bubbly book by Heather Hach and infectious pop music and lyrics by Nell Benjamin and Laurence O'Keefe. Stumbling in the box office, the show became immensely popular after it was aired in its entirety on MTV in October 2007. The musical closed on Broadway on October 19, 2008 and enjoyed success on two separate national tours. Set to open tonight, City Lights Theatre, a community theatre in Sugar Land, is producing the sugary musical confection. Last night, they invited me out to their final dress rehearsal to preview their spin on the bouncy piece.

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.
