OMIGOD! A World Premiere (Legally Blonde SF Video) — Page 10

I honestly really like Chip on her Shoulder. And I still really dont understand how people can say .. this doesnt grab my attention, it wasn't what I expected etc, when you are seeing 10 seconds of every scene, and barely even a quarter of the stage at a time, honestly, you people are being way to judgemental, and arent being theatre snobs, but theatre d!cks.

DefyingEDCT, we can judge what we've seen in the clips. The show has put them on the internet for people to watch, and if we want to judge them we will. It they don't excite us, hen they don't.

i saw the video and i think the performance are great but the music and lyrics wasn't what i was expecting it to be.

Have you seen the Carnival Cruise ads where the mother says they went just to see a smile on their daughter's face? That's what this show will be: scores of tweens and teens going again and again and tourists (the show will be bright and sunny and have a big blonde American girl on the marquee) will keep this baby running for a while. So what if it doesn't run for a decade?

And why has this show elicited this many comments?

I saw THE PIRATE QUEEN, WICKED, and ALTARBOYZ while visiting Chicago. I thought the costumes for THE PIRATE QUEEN were amazing. I never looked at the Chicago Tribune website though. I thought the overall look for this show was spectacular, which for me meant a sure nomination for costume design in New York. But maybe I'll be eating my words come Tony time. I personally liked England's costumes being over the top. And from what I've seen/heard on castcom the designs are historically accurate. I'm really interested to see what changes are made to the show. I wonder if their going to be making any changes to the costumes as well?

Here's to hoping your right about LEGALLY BLONDE being a huge hit. And for the RIGHT reasons...great cast, great score, great book, great message for Paris Hilton loving youth.

Side note: I don't think Paris Hilton and the recent Britney Spears are very pretty at all. It's just a popularity contest about who's wearing the right clothes and who has the most money to throw around. It's the parents job to supply better role models for these kids. Plus the ROLE MODEL'S OF THE YEAR seem to UGLY BETTY and Jennifer Hudson. Two beautifully full figured girls who show that there's much more to a person then conventional beauty.

Here's a slide/audio show from backstage.

I'm liking that pic

I find it hilarious for all the negative comments about this show that is STILL IN PREVIEWS, that this thread is 10 pages long in a short amount of time. I think the marketing department is doing what they set out to do - created something that makes people talk about the show - negative or positive.

ANY PR IS GOOD PR!

Speaking as a 37 year old man, I find the clips enjoyable to watch without giving everything away. I have enjoyed Laura Bell Bundy ever since I saw her on the Phil Donahue Show sing "Born to Entertain" from Ruthless the musical way back when and thought she was an amazing performer at such a young age and still find her just as amazing.

I will definitely be supporting her, the rest of the cast, crew, and creators. If not on opening night in April, then soon there after. I'm going to NYC to celebrate Broadway and live theatre, not tear it down with un-constructive criticism (that I see a lot of on this board).

Legally Blonde just feels like a big hit to me. The message that it's okay for girls to be both smart and pretty is welcome

As long as they're white.

ruprecht, here's what I said:

" The message that it's okay for girls to be both smart and pretty is welcome, especially considering the horrifying examples being set by media darlings like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears."

Just to clarify, I don't think Britney and Paris are smart. I will concede that they are white, but I have no idea what the hell that has to do with anything.

has anyone who has seen the show tried to meet the cast at the stage door yet? were there a lot of people there waiting, and did it take a while for everyone to come out? i'd love to meet LBB and Michelle Kittrell when I go next week...

The stage door is around the corner. Everyone comes out, Christian Borle comes out super fast and LBB comes out way aafter everyone else, from what I saw. A lot of the cast had to sign and run because they have shuttles back to their hotel.

Actually I like that idea. Why not do some crazy color blind casting for the lead role?
