Laura Bell Bundy To Play "Legally Blonde" in Nashville

So, if you're a Central Kentucky Laura Bell Bundy fan who never got to New York to see her Tony-nominated turn as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde ? The Musical, you have another chance, much closer to home.

Bundy is going to reprise the role when the national tour of Legally Blonde lands at Nashville's Tennessee Performing Arts Center from June 23 to 28. Bundy will play Elle in all evening performances, stepping in for vacationing Becky Gulsvig.

Bundy, a Lexington native and Lexington Catholic graduate, moved to Nashville last year to pursue her country music career after leaving the Broadway production of Legally Blonde in July.

Bundy also reprised the role on tour earlier this year in Washington, D.C., and East Lansing, Mich., when Gulsvig was out with an injury.

Tickets are $22.50 to $74.50 through Ticketmaster, 1-800-745-3000 or www.ticketmaster.com. Remember, Bundy only appears in the evening performances.

SO EXCITED! I'm sure she'll do amazing.

why is she always covering for Becky? Why can't Lauren Zarkin just take on the role?
don't get me wrong i <3 LBB, but When I met her in Sept, she said she was still recovering from the role. So why go back?

defying...lmao

I disagree. It just got her in some bad shape like any Broadway actress that performed the role for a long long time and was dedicated to it like she was. I'm very excited for her to be in the role again!!!!

How exciting! I just saw the MTV broadcast for the first time after seeing the tour, and LBB was really amazing. Gulsvig was very good too, but it would be something exciting to see LBB in the role.
