By: Ashlee Latimer Aug. 20, 2016
For three weeks in September and going into October, the South Bend Civic Theatre brings Legally Blonde the Musical to the Wilson Theatre. The international award-winning musical based on the movie, Legally Blonde, explodes on the stage with memorable songs and dynamic dances. Director Carys Kresny collaborates with Music Director Geoffrey Carter, Choreographer Karen Pajor, and the ensemble cast to take the audience through Elle's fabulously fun journey. This hilarious, fun, and heart-warming musical runs from September 16th through October 2nd at the Wilson Theatre. It will be so much fun it should be illegal!
Legally Blonde the Musical follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles several obstacles in pursuit of her dreams. She has to deal with stereotypes and scandal as her life is turned upside-down when her boyfriend (Warner) dumps her. Because he broke up with her to become serious about his life and to attend Harvard Law, Elle uses her charm to get into Harvard Law in order to get back at Warner. She struggles with peers and professors but is able to quickly realize her potential with the help of Paulette and Emmett.
