Align Entertainment presents Legally Blonde

Michael J. Fox Theatre02 Feb '18 to 17 Feb '18 @ 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM
  • Align Entertainment presents Legally Blonde
In time for Valentine’s Day, Align Entertainment presents the hilarious, romantic hit musical, Legally Blonde, running February 2 – 17, 2018 at the Michael J. Fox Theatre. Coming off a successful fall production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, the multi Ovation Award-winning producers bring together a cast of local theatre stars and emerging talents for the Broadway adaption of this beloved 2001 film. Nominated for seven Tony Awards, Legally Blonde the musical is a shiny, sugar rush of tongue-in-cheek humour, dazzling choreography, and glittering sets in celebration of beauty that embraces brains.
 
“Legally Blonde reminds us that you don’t have to be pigeon-holed to one persona – you can be the sorority queen and a whip-smart whiz if you want, and win at both life and love,” says director and co-producer Chad Matchette. “The show has a great message, but it doesn’t take itself too seriously and fun is what we at Align Entertainment are all about! We love to present big, bright and boisterous productions where it doesn’t matter if you’re performing on stage or seated in the audience, everyone is having a blast. Take family, friends or that special someone – we promise exceptional entertainment and a smashing time at the theatre!”
 
Legally Blonde is a novel by Amanda Brown that, not long after becoming a Golden Globe-nominated film, was adapted for the stage by Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin (music & lyrics) alongside Heather Hach (script). The show follows the bombastic adventures of blonde beauty Elle Woods – made a household name thanks to Reese Witherspoon’s rollicking on-screen performance. This Bel Air princess with a passion for everything pretty and pink enjoys a would-be perfect life until boyfriend Warner breaks up with her in favor of more “serious” pursuits at law school. Proving she too can have serious ambitions, the lovelorn Woods ditches her Delta-Nu dames and calls on her good looks and wits to follow her sweetheart to Harvard University. Casting away stereotypes, her cunningness in the courtroom earns her a new love and hot career as she outsmarts a criminal and makes off with the trial.
  
Legally Blonde is directed and co-produced by Chad Matchette, with musical direction by Clare Wyatt, who together led Align Entertainment’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.
