"
Legally Blonde The Musical" is spawned from MGM's hit
Legally Blonde film franchise. "In
Legally Blonde, it follows sorority star Elle Woods, who doesn't take 'no' for an answer. So 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," explain press notes.
Nominated for seven Tony Awards,
Legally Blonde The Musical opened on Broadway on Sunday, April 29, 2007. The Original Broadway Cast Recording for
Legally Blonde The Musical, was released on Ghostlight Records, capturing the #1 slot on the Billboard Cast Album chart, and charting at #86 on the Billboard Top 200. The album has continued its success, charting every week as one of the top-selling Broadway cast recordings.
