Who's seeing Legally Blonde Tour opening night today? — Page 2

During "Legally Blonde" did they take out Emmett saying "Please would you open the door?" since...there was no door as you said?

The changes sound like they make the show lackluster to anyone who has seen the show on Broadway.

"becky isnt as tall as the other elles, and vivienne is taller..so becky thought instead of saying shes twice her size (since shes not)" Wouldn't that mean she is if Becky's short and Vivienne is tall?

what color was natalie's hair as paulette?

what ensemble parts did everyone play? can someone post the cast list from the program/playbill?

What kind of wig does Serena have? Tracy styled or the way all the other serenas have it.

im sorry, i meant to say it the other way around! the vivienne on tour isnt as tall as kate shindle, so saying shes twice her size would mean calling her fat (or so she thought)

cortney had on a plain brown wig, a la tracy jai

Emmett is D.B Bonds. I didn't like him immediately, but he grew on me as the show went on.
I didn't mention earlier that I thought Alex Ellis was a great Chutney/Kate and Gretchen Burghart was a great Enid.

To be honest, the only performances I wasn't thrilled with (not that they were "bad")were Brooke and Warner. Warner seemed to lack that air of superiority that I am used to seeing. It made me wonder why Elle was so "in love" with him. LOL!
Brooke was a little too "tough" and "cocky" for me. And I am wondering why they didn't use the "trick" jumprope. Instead of that, she is lying on the table, "frozen". I just thought it was a little weird.

The line change in "Positive" last night was "...some debutante J. Crew Kung Fu. It works.

In "Ireland" the lyrics are changed to: "...the Highland bagpipes drone".

I am going back TOMORROW night (I'm going to be having a LOT of PB&J sandwiches for lunch this coming month, LOL!!!)...and I'm going Friday AND Saturday.

I know that's a bit much. But I could be addicted to much worse stuff. Right?

Oh! I got to meet the dogs! Frankie and Roxie (the Bruisers) and China the bulldog and her understudy whose name escapes me right now. I was invited to pat them, so I did! They are so "laid back"! I think that Bill Berloni should open a school to teach people how to train "regular" dogs. He'd make a TON of money! These dogs were just "chillin'".

The show is wonderful, the cast is wonderful! Go to see "Legally Blonde" because it will make you feel GREAT!

The program book lists Jan Rosenberg as Conductor. James Sampliner is listed as Vocal Supervisor on the title page right above Jerry Mitchell's name. The orchestra sounded great - I guess about 5 travel and then they hire local musicians in each city. I counted about 10 when I looked into the pit at Intermission.

Paulette's wig was a platinum-blond updo.

the stenographer is lauren, and yeha shes in bend and snap...but its weird, she doesnt play the 'dorky' character as much - like no glasses or anything

Doesn't that make the part about living alone with her cat completely irrelevant and random?

The lack of all the "big" sets used on Broadway does not damage the show itself. In fact, I would maintain that the simpler sets used in the tour demonstrate the strength of the basic material, which works just as well without the spectacle. This production will certainly encourage school and community groups to produce the show in the future because it clearly demonstrates that all that "great big stuff" is not required. What you need that is far more important is a talented, energetic cast, and that commodity is very much on display in this company.

does Lauren Zakrin do the robe to fully dressed line (hey wait for me!) or does someone else?

who plays DA Joyce Riley?

Maybe they give it to the girl playing the DA Joyce Reilly. When there aren't enough swings and whoever is playing Leilani is out they give it to her and she just says "Elle and Warner were meant to be, cause not once ever has he hit on me". Maybe they did that?

I hope someone can give us a full review noting all the changes soon .
