Legally Blonde debutes this week

North will present Legally Blonde The Musical on Nov. 1, 2 and 3 at 7:00 p.m. with an additional 2:00 matinee on Saturday Nov. 3. Tickets are $10.00 and $5.00 for children up through middle school.

Music and lyrics were composed by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin and the book was written by Heather Hach. The story is based on the novel Legally Blonde by Amanda Brown and the 2001 film of the same name. It tells the story of Elle Woods, a sorority girl who enrolls at Harvard Law School to win back her ex-boyfriend Warner. She discovers how her knowledge of the law can help others, and successfully defends exercise queen Brooke Wyndham in a murder trial.

Legally Blonde premiered in pre-Broadway tryouts in San Francisco, California. In April 2007 the show moved to Broadway. It received seven Tony nominations and 10 Drama Desk nominations. The West End production was nominated for five Laurence Olivier Awards and won three, including the Best New Musical 2011 award.
North will be the first S.M. High School to present Legally Blonde.

Read the story in our October print issue.
