Photo Coverage: Omigod! First Look at Paramount's LEGALLY BLONDE

Omigod! Omigod, you guys! Aurora's Paramount Theatre kicks off Chicago's 2018-19 theater season in high fashion with a new production of Legally Blonde.

Trent Stork, a veteran of 15 productions and casting director at Paramount, will make his Aurora directorial debut with this ever popular story about rising to a challenge and defying stereotypes, all while looking fabulous.

Speaking of fabulous, Chicago newcomers Casey Shuler and Gerald Caesar will make their respective Paramount debuts as the idealistic and precocious protagonist, Elle Woods, and her earnest love interest, Emmett Forrest.

With an A-list cast and design team, and music director and conductor Kory Danielson leading the 13-person Paramount orchestra, audiences can look forward to a super fresh take on the 2001 film starring Reese Witherspoon, bursting with big heart, bigger dance numbers and a lot of laughs.

Press opening is Saturday, September 8 at 8 p.m. The production runs through October 21: Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.; Thursday at 7 p.m.; Friday at 8 p.m.; Saturday at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sunday at 1 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Single tickets are $36 to $69.
