They should try "Legally Blonde: The Musical!"

Now, I like "Legally Blonde," but made for frequent repeat listening it is NOT.

Interesting.


I agree with Schmerg, though. At work, one of the guys used to play Legally Blonde all the time. Not that I hate it - it's catchy and fun, but certainly not designed for repetitive listening.
