LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL, based on the MGM film of the same name, plays the San Diego Civic Theatre through April 4, 2010, where it has been running since March 30.  BroadwayWorld's Audra Stafford recently caught up with the star of the LEGALLY BLONDE tour, Becky Gulsvig, to talk about what it's like being on the road, how the show has impacted her, and the most challenging part about sharing the stage with co-star Frankie (who plays chihuahua 'Bruiser').

Legally Blonde follows sorority star Elle Woods, an underestimated blonde who doesn't take "no" for an answer. When her boyfriend dumps her for someone more "serious," Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style.

The Legally Blonde tour stars Becky Gulsvig, D.B. Bonds, Natalie Joy Johnson, Michael Rupert, and Jeff McLean.

Tickets are on sale now and range from $18 - $79. Legally Blonde will play Tuesday, Wednesday - 7 p.m.; Thursday - 7:30 p.m.; Friday, Saturday - 8 p.m.; Saturday matinee - 2 p.m.; Sunday - 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. Click here to purchase tickets or visit tour.legallyblondethemusical.com.
