I just found out that Charissa Hope is an Equity member. And according to her website, she's moving to Chicago. I still would have liked to see her perform as Elle. :)
You can add Vancouver, BC to the list. March 1st - 6th.

I found out that Nikki Bohne will be playing Elle. I guess she just graduated from college and LB was like her first audition in New York. Props!!

Good for her, but I thought they would have asked one of the TV show contestants, who didn't become Non-Equity, to play Elle.

They may have avoided the reality show contestants because Telsey's office is no longer casting the show, it is now being handled by Dave Clemmons.

Oh wow... a girl who just graduated high school will be playing Vivienne? That's interesting. (Sorry, I know I'm way late responding). Has this been discussed yet? I think the girl is very talented, but a bit young for the part...

Well the character is only like 21/22. It's not much of a stretch.

As a brit it still amazes me to see a show the size of Legally Blonde doing just 1 night stops in places. I know why it happens etc its just strange lol

Spamalot is doing one-nighters as well. The Color Purple is doing 2 nighters & Beauty and the Beast is doing 3 nighters...
I think the shortest run our tours have for major shows is 1 week. Obviously im guessing that the non equity tours go to far smaller towns etc
Updated tour list! The tour will be hitting Lowell, MA (about 30 mins outside of Boston, an hour or so outside of Providence, RI). Nikki as Elle? Hmm.
"the spamalot is doing 1 nighters"
it is actually doing a week here in New Orleans, as well as 3 nights in Worcestor, MA.
Will the set/costume design be the same?
I can't imagine it being any other way. The set is already so scaled down, and the show is still very popular and selling well.
Updated: With visits to Spokane, Cedar Falls, and more!

Robert Biederman will be the Wizard on the 3rd year of OZ launching in November.
I'm pretty sure the info about Adam and Peter is also not accurate. Adam was only seen for Kyle/UPS track.
