Was anyone at Laura Bell's last show? — Page 3

2009 is all that has been confirmed.

Bloody hope so!

She doesn't need to stay long, but she'd be a superb opener for the show.

I am slightly anxious, seeing as Legally Blonde will require Elle having a flawless American accent...let alone embody the role perfectly.

I bet Laura will do London, she said in a recent interview that she doesn't think shes done with the role just yet.

I dont think so. The movie made $8,775,064 during its run in the UK. So they know the name and apparently love it since they were the ones who grossed the moss for a forgien release.

So I just have to give huge props to the cast members that stagedoored last night. I have been to a lot of lasts and have NEVER seen a stage door as ridiculous as that. The Palace theatre crew is always efficient and at one point, had to put up police lines to keep people out of the street. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say there were hundreds of people there. Not only that, b ut people were staking out the alley way door as well. And knowing all that, LBB still came out, signed graciously and when she tried to get in her car, people SURROUNDED IT AND BLOCKED IT IN THE STREET. Outrageous behavior, but I just had to insert my props for LBB, Andy, Orfeh, NJJ and the other brave cast that came out and signed. So kind.

Broadwayworld has someone taking photos of the two "stars" of Grease leaving and nothing about LBB. No photos, no footage, no article. Nothing. I have been waiting all day out here in LA for something and they don't even throw us leftcoasters a bone.

omc the siren!! I was really hoping it would stop before she started singing, and I believe it stopped a few lines in.

Kelly2...I mostly agree. Nobody can replace LBB. She WAS Elle Woods. However, I hope Bailey can win me over. I still want to support the show, so maybe I will see it again the future.

oh my! the sirens! I almost forgot. Very bad timing. The theatre was so quiet and the sirens were so loud and distracting!! lol I was wondering if LBB was going to say something funny about it since she was doing some adlibs throughout the night. Luckily, Laura was in the moment and pushed through.

In which interview that everyone seems to be referring to did Laura Bell say she doesn't think she's done with Elle Woods or "Legally Blonde" yet? I am very curious to see that.

Sorry buddy, it's not over. It's still making 800K a week and will probably continue for at least another year.

And I, for one, am happy about that.

And also I, for one, will miss LBB. She really gave her all to the role and stuck with it despite the fact that she was killing herself eight times a week. I'll be there at whatever she does next.

Robert Taylor (and it's always weird communicating with dead guys) I agree with you 100%. Say what you will about Laura Bell Bundy, she really earned her salary and then so much more.
