Have you seen the new musical Legally Blonde? My daughter and I have the movie and the sequel and when it gets to our area we are going. The movies were great, funny and inspiring and we have heard the musical is just as good. Being a person who has always liked Broadway productions, when I heard one of my daughter's favorite movies was going on stage, I couldn't wait to talk her into it. I ordered tickets right away.

Legally Blonde is about a college sorority girl who decides to go to law school over, what else? A boy. However, when she gets to Harvard, she finds that she's a smart person in her own right and doesn't need the boy after all. It is a great storyline that every teenage girl should see as it shows her that who she is counts, not who her boyfriend is or isn't.

Many of us can see life lessons in music and Legally Blonde the musical gives us that in spades as we follow Elle's adventures. She shows people that “dumb” blondes are smarter than you think, and just as the joke “why are blonde jokes so short?” gives blondes the last laugh (answer: so brunettes can understand them), so, too, does Elle get the last laugh on her old boyfriend's fiancé by getting the case, getting the right verdict and getter a better guy.

An added bonus to the production is they did not leave out the wonderful and beloved dog characters of the Chihuahua and the bulldog. Animal lovers will enjoy finding that the stage venue stayed true to the storyline in relation to the two dogs.

The characters portrayed in the trial in the movie are just as viable and important on the stage as they were in the movie. While over the years some movies have crashed when introduced to the stage side of entertainment, Legally Blonde the musical takes that road in a highly successful journey.

The musical stays true to the lessons of the movie and brings them out in song, giving the storyline a deeper meaning and helping the audience absorb it in a different way from the movie yet one that is still just as positive for the fans. The production is highly entertaining and those who have seen the stage performance rave about it. The musical has been touring in both the UK and the United States and tickets are available online.

It is a production worth taking your teenage daughter and her friends to go see. In fact, this writer would suggest a mother/daughter night for the girls and their moms. The lessons and the memories will go hand in hand and what better time than just before school starts for the fall. This of course, depends upon your area and when the musical is scheduled but whatever time of year it happens to be, you are sure to be able to make it a night to remember.
