Didn't know if anybody saw this yet, it's snippets from the SF production of "Legally Blonde". They have parts from "Omigod You Guys", "Bend & Snap", "Chip on My Shoulder", "Legally Blonde Remix" and "So Much Better". THEY LOOK FANTASTIC

ummm I think I am in LOVE.
I think The Palace has found its princess.
I am so in love with this show.
"WOOD, COMMA, ELLE!"
LOVE it.
♥
I'm completely in love
Orfeh and Kate were amazing...their voices were WOW! I loved the little hand gestures with the dog.
One word: Underwhelming.
^ Yeah. I'm not sure I like it.
oh well...can't please them all.
Hopefully the investors will say the same when the show flops.
Who said the show's going to flop? Did it open on Broadway yet and show it's closing notice? Nope.

Yeah.. doesn't look like much to me. I hope I'm wrong.
It did look a little underwhelming. And I don't think I'd like "Chip on my Shoulder" at all after seeing that. Hope it's one of the ones to go on the trip to NYC.

It looks very interesting and I can't wait to see it. The only parts I didn't like were the "Bend and Snap" number (not catchy enough) but liked Orfeh or Emmett's song (but didn't like Christian either)
I just love hearing Orfeh's voice, period. Borle's hair? Yikes.
The only number that holds your attention is "Omigod You Guys" At least that has a catchy hook. The rest of the songs were incredible boring and instantly forgettable. If this video is any representation of the show, it will close in a "bend and snap".
Wow, this looks really bland. People are gonna rag on me for this, but I doubt this will make it once it doesn't win any Tonys.
I really like O'keefe too, pity.

Not bad....not at all the floplovers dream come true, at least from the video.
Music's tolerable, though hardly anything special. OMIGOD is as infectious as IT'S YOUR WEDDING DAY. The rest of the songs I could take or leave.
LBB really does seem perfect for the part, at least in that 2 second snippet.

Wow! This looks fantastic! I can't wait!
Nice clips. "Chip on my Shoulder" and "Blood in the Water" could be ok numbers but they were/are just stretched too thin for too long. I'm hoping to see some tighter versions tonight. Christian Borle is so loveable and plays the role perfect, I've never seen him in anything before but he does such a good job of connecting with the audience and drawing you in.
Oh and JPS is looking good in those jeans, more bending please :)

ick
I'm a bit ashamed to say... I really enjoyed it.
I'm glad to see they aren't taking themselves too seriously. It's over the top bubble gum to the extreme, and that's the only way "Legally Blonde: The Musical" could possibly be done.
The only number I didn't like was "Chip on My Shoulder." Christian's great, but give him something to do. That one needs to go.
They really did cast this well, though. Laura is perfect, Orfeh is hysterical, and Kate Shindle.. where did she come from? Wonderful voice.
Looking forward to this now!
It's fluffy.
SO fluffy.
Orfeh's snipit was the only entertaining part (of the video). I hope the show itself has a little more substance.
Rockwell's set looks just like his DRS design. The curved stairwell? Eep.
Lovin' the costumes though!
