Based on the novel and the hit-movie of the same name, Legally Blonde: the Musical chronicles the journey of the famously perky Elle Woods, a fashion-savvy, UCLA sorority girl who finds her life turned upside down when she is dumped by her boyfriend Warner. In an effort to prove to Warner that she is more than just some blonde sorority girl, she follows him to Harvard Law, where she struggles to fit in and do well. Ultimately, she defies expectations and manages to stay true to her delightfully pink personality.

NODA REVIEW

“I was so impressed with this director’s interpretation it brought the show to life and showcased the acting skills of his cast; in so doing he created in them boundless energy and enthusiasm. He ensured the characters had depth rather than being frivolous caricatures and this really brought dimension and understanding to the plot. I loved the way he utilised the cast in assisting with set changes as this kept the action moving giving the show great pace. His choreography was amazingly diverse with an emphasis on fun; the cheerleaders’ routine was bouncy and dynamic the Greek chorus sassy and cheeky and “Whipped into Shape” energetic vigorous and spirited. For the most part the cast were well drilled and uniformly in step, however on the evening of my visit there were one or two small mishaps; but this did nothing to detract from overall visual effect. It was also refreshing to see an outstanding young male dancer being promoted and given solo work.”

PRESS REVIEWS

“Kitchness, a love of absurd fashion and a generous, never nasty sense of humour lie at the centre of the film, and are qualities that the Reading Operatic Society has an abundance of in their adaptation at The Hexagon.”
