Glad to hear this!
My friend worked on the pilot, not at actor, but art department.
He said it looks like a fun, smart show.

I've seen the show seven (count 'em...seven) times.
Saw Laura Bell twice in NY, and Becky on tour five times.....I loved both ladies, and if I got a chance to see Lauren in the role, I'm sure I'd love her too.
When you LOVE a musical.....you LOVE THAT MUSICAL!
I am old enough to have seen several "classic" musicals.....most with the orginal leading ladies. As much as I love having seen Ethel Merman, Angela Lansbury, and Patty Lupone (to drop a few names...LOL!)I

Quite honestly, the only lyrics that I can imagine Laura Bell "flubbing" would be the new "Positive" bit. Besides being new to her, its kind of hard to say anyway!
I'd really love to see her again, but I don't think I'll get a chance to. I'd really love to see Lauren do the role as well.
This touring cast is awesome, and seem to be real team players. As was the Broadway cast.
I know Legally Blonde was not the most important Broadway show EVER...but for pure entertainm

Curley McDimple was produced off-Broadway close to 40 years ago, at The Bert Wheeler Theater. I opened November 22nd, 1967 and closed January 25th, 1970 after 931 performances.
Rather than being about Shirley Temple's life, it was a "Valentine to the 1930's"....gently poking fun at the style of the Shirley Temple films.
Bernadette Peters originated the role of "Alice"....who was the "Alice Faye" type character, pretty, blonde, etc.

I will miss this show, it was a great night of ENTERTAINMENT.....which I have always thought a "Broadway Musical" should be.
Break a leg- to all of the cast members- update your websites so we will know where to find you! LOL!
I have tickets for Hartford for the tour, I may sneak up to Boston, and I am also thinking about the L.A. stop too.
I guess I can't get enough.
I CAN get enough "Serious" on CNBC.
I love you "Legally Blonde"!!!

I have only been to The Bushnell once, and we were practically on stage for that show.
My seats for LB are row 20, section B, off to the side, but the orchestra section in that theater is nowhere near as large as PPAC.

I've seen some stagedoor pics from last night, of D.B., Becky, Cortney, and of course Rhiannon and Lauren. Aside from going out the audience doors, the stage door seems to be the only way out for them.
I did not go to the stage door last night, the friend that I went with sort of rolled her eyes when I mentioned it. LOL!!!
So now I am "LB Withdrawal" mode until I see it again in December at The Bushnell.
I wonder if there will be any cast changes by then? Maybe Richa

Ken Land as Callahan is fine, I didn't like him on night #1, but I was comparing him to Michael Rupert, of course. I liked him more last night, when he seemed to sing the lines in "Blood in the Water" a bit slower. I don't know if that makes sense or not.
Tonight I am taking a friend with me who really has no idea what this show is about, and probably wouldn't go unless I bought the ticket as a birthday present for her. I am going to be interested to see her reaction.

I saw the show in Providence for the 3rd time tonight....and I am going tomorrow night too. I am guessing that I will be in LB withdrawal by Sunday morning.
Leslie was fine in Stacy's parts, but POOR STACY....get well soon!
Some observations.
Someone, towards the end of Whipped Into Shape tonight, totally stopped jumping rope, and sort of just walked off stage. ???
I am really starting to like D.B. Bonds as Emmett.
Sorry to say this, but I don't like

I feel badly that I won't have a chance to see this on Broadway again.
Hate to say it, but Rhiannon and Lauren- coming in third and fourth on the reality show are now the REAL winners- they have jobs!

Tomorrow night I will pay better attention! I fixated on certain characters and was making comparisons.
If I could talk to Jerry Mitchell and ask that he make ONE change....it would be the opening. To me, they are just running around. I think that a "one story" Delta Nu house would be better than the "running in circles" that is in place now. But that's me.
And I know I don't know how all of this stuff works....

Emmett is D.B Bonds. I didn't like him immediately, but he grew on me as the show went on.
I didn't mention earlier that I thought Alex Ellis was a great Chutney/Kate and Gretchen Burghart was a great Enid.
To be honest, the only performances I wasn't thrilled with (not that they were "bad")were Brooke and Warner. Warner seemed to lack that air of superiority that I am used to seeing. It made me wonder why Elle was so "in love" with him. LOL!
Brooke was a little too "tough"

I was going to wait till I got home from work tonight to post, I will answer a couple of the questions above now, and then some more later.
"Wait for me!" was a run out from stage right, a cartwheel back to offstage, and a cartwheel back on. Kinda cute.
The opening was a bit of a disappointment to me, I really missed the windows. Elle's entrance is the "store window" pushed onstage behind clothing racks. Not bad.
Standout performances were Becky, of course, that role i

YES, I probably do have too much time on my hands....
My confession is that I have tickets for THREE shows the opening week in Providence (anyone interested in mid to rear orchestra on Saturday night or loge on Friday? Two seats available for either/or....for what I paid...I am starting to feel guilty for indulging myself for THREE SHOWS!!!)
Anyway....back to the pondering....
We have heard there is no "window" set for the opening. Any ideas or predictions on how the

Let me first say that I love Seth Rudetsky!
Maybe I'm naive, but....did he ignore Nina because:
1.)He didn't know her, or what was going on?
or
2.)He knew just what was going on and thought she and Ryan were funnier than him?
There is room in this town for BOTH of you...Oh My God You Guys!
Oops. Not MY town....which is in R.I. and you two are too much for my town!
