Dir ector ’s Notes

Summertime is t he season for light hearted fun, such as going on family vacations, making weekend escapes to t he beach, attending county fairs, or visiting amusement and water parks, among ot her escapist activities. Legally Blonde: The Musical embodies such escapist entertainment. Filled wit h fun characters, catchy tunes t hat make you want to move in your seat, and an updated MGM musical plotline girl loves boy, girl loses boy, girl goes to Harvard Law School to win him back Legally Blonde is as fun and sugary as cotton candy on a paper cone. However, what I enjoy most about t his musical are t he savory surprises hidden inside t he airy spun sugar. Simple lessons but important ones nonet heless about not judging a book by its cover, t he significance of living up to one ’ s potential, and t he importance of integrity, standing by one ’ s word, and keeping anot her person ’ s trust. Elle Woods overcomes ot her people’s perception t hat she is not hing more t han a fun-loving, Malibu-Barbie sorority girl and shows t hem t hat und e rn e a t h , s h e is a w o m a n

interminable optimism. She learns how to overcome roadblocks preventing her from living up to her full potential Finally, she shows us t hat you do not have to compromise your integrity to get ahead It just requires a little extra effort These t hought-provoking moments perfectly complement t his sweet, summertime confection I hope you enjoy bot h

Hans Bachmann
