I went on a trip to NYC on Saturday, and I got the chance to see Legally Blonde for the second time. The trip was originally supposed to be for YF but they changed it again and again... till no tickets! Regardless, luckily we got tickets to LB literally an hour before the show started 
(Had I had more notice about no tickets... I would have planned South Pacific wayy earlier but ohhh well)
Soo... we saw the majority lead original cast plus the new changes. Not too many understudies, none for the major leads. Because it was the second time watching, I was able to watch the actors a lot more v. the overall show.
I really enjoyed LBB and how her character even evolved from the first time. Her overexaggerated-ness of Elle is great for the role... although I think she sounded a little sick to me? Christian was of course, again, great. His acting was spot-on. I think the most impressive person for me this time was Orfeh. I felt she did amazing during the show. Great last time too but her voice sounded great. I loved the UPS scenes haha. Andy Karl is great in all of his roles, including the frat boy hahaha. Kate Shindle is great, I wish she sang more. The trio of Delta Nu was okay... I really think Annaleigh was a better Margot though. Michael Rupert was great too.
I swear, I made eye contact with LBB twice during the show. I sat in Orch A stage left and she could see me when the spotlight was in that area. Anyway, haha it was weird. Overall I noticed that people seem to enjoy and laugh a lot onstage. I think it's really fun to watch. The dancing was even more amazing this time. The ensemble member April stood out to me, with all the dancing/singing she did. I liked the new Aaron Schultz better.
Overall, I liked the subtle changes the actors themselves did with their characters, even in some of the slight singing additions.
Anyway, my friend also enjoyed it. It was her first time in the city and her first Broadway show! I know this shows older but I just wanted to give a review... thanks
