Anakela, thanks for the info. The only mezzanine seats I could find on the day I want to go ae in the last row of the front mezzanine. (Row G) Worth it?

Over the balcony and/or the last rows of the orch? I would say yes. The Palace seating chart says that the mezz overhangs orch row K, and the balc overhangs mezz row g, so I believe in front mezz row g you would probably be closer to the stage than you would in the orch seats that are being offered, but without being as up high as the balc.

Yeah, the seats in the front mezzanine is what I meant. I'll probably go with those. Thanks!

hey guys -

i'm trying to buy a third ticket for tonight's show so another friend can see it...
the only seats that keep popping up on ticketmaster are orchestra seat k119 and orchestra seat n111 - in your opinion, which one is better??

[carymetorent2]

They are both orchestra seats. K is 3 rows up, but the seat is further to the side, while N is slightly more center. Would you rather be three rows closer and four seats farther over or three rows farther back and only six seats in from the aisle?

I've never had a problem sitting farther over, but if your friend has never seen teh show, I would perhaps suggest more center. The show is a big show and I've never heard about anyone complaining about sitting in even the last row.

anyone else going to tonight's performance?

Ok those of you in the matinee right now, I *totally* want reports on Michelle Kittrell's Brooke Wyndham! Please? :)

I don't know how anyone could do Brooke. It's sooo physically demanding that it's sick. That woman is amazing to do that so many times per week!

Hey Everyone...I just got back from the night show of Legally Blonde (1.13.0 The show was amazing and everyone had such great energy...I just wanted to say that Cara Cooper did great as Serena...I dont know if this was her first time going on or not but you honestly couldn't tell because she acted as if shes played Serena for years...She got so many laughs!!! I personally think that Cara should have taken over Serena full time...For some reason I dont like Tracy Jai in the role, but I did see her as Vivian in July 07 and loved her....But anyways I just wanted to say how amazing Cara was tonight! :)

[carymetorent2]

Cara was good when I first saw her Serena. She was GREAT tonight. I think she was nervous since I saw her for the first time the first time she went on. But she has really found her own portrayal of the role.

...all im going to say, is that there were people laughing from where we were listening.

She couldnt hit the notes, she didnt know all of the words.

and really..just imagining her trying to the jumprope dance makes me sick

Thank god Nikki is a rockstar and was back for the night show

thanks for the review. :)

Not gonna lie, I am still looking forward to Nikki Snelson's vacation (someday), just so that I can finally see someone else's Brooke, even if it is...as described.

Hey this is kind of off topic but when did Noah leave legally blonde...I saw it on sunday night I saw him at the stage door to legally blonde...then the show starts and hes not on as aaron...Then I looked at the playbill later on and he wasn't in it...How come he left? I thought he was great and should be the next emmett..

[winter_sky]

Posted: 1/14/08 at 3:43pm

Noah left on December 30th. Bryce Ryness is now playing Aaron. Noah was there to grab food with some of the cast members.

Also, I may get flack for this but I didn't think Michelle Kittrell was that bad.

[Anakela]

Posted: 1/14/08 at 3:43pm

Dec 30 was Noah's last show- he's going to do South Pacific.

winter_sky- would love to hear more on your thoughts on Michelle's Brooke.

[carymetorent2]

Posted: 1/14/08 at 4:00pm

I think it would be hard for anyone to measure up to the energy and abs of NIkki Snelson :-P

I went in with very low expectations and apathetic feelings for Michelle. Nikki is all kinds of fierce so I was a bit hesitant but definitely curious. First thing I noticed was that they changed her costume from the bra type top to a longer tankini style top which totally makes sense because I don't think any woman in the cast besides April Berry could pass for a fitness queen. That being said I think for a first time viewer, aesthetically she looked a lot like Nikki. She looked adorable and while her voice wasn't as strong as Nikki's it was very cute. Some lines she sounded cattier than I think Nikki does but overall I enjoyed a different take on Brooke.

I wondered why she changed the line "What does not kill us makes us hotter!" line to "I said FALL OUT!" but Noah told me that it was something Jerry Mitchell used to tell them in rehearsals so whatever.

It was her first time on so there were little bloopers here and there (more so general show bloopers) but for a first time I definitely think she wasn't underwhelming.

That's interesting. I'd like to see her at some point, and Beth Curry as well.

[Anakela]

Posted: 1/14/08 at 9:52pm

Thanks for the review winter_sky. I'd heard about the costume change, but not the bit about the different line...not that I don't *totally* enjoy Nikki, I'm just so interested in seeing someone else's take on Brooke.
