Auditions are open to ages 14 and up. Based on the 2001 film of the same name, “Legally Blonde, The musical” revolves around Elle Woods, a sorority girl who enrolls at Harvard Law School to win back her exboyfriend, Warner, after he dumps her for “Not being serious enough.” Throughout the show, the people around her underestimate Elle, dismissing her as a dumb blonde except for her friends, spunky salon owner Paulette, and teaching assistant Emmet. However, Woods is more than what she seems. Performances are June 16-25. Rehearsals begin April 10 - Monday, Tuesday, Thursday 6:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. For more information, contact the playhouse at 509-447-9900.
