Hi Bums!

We are announcing the auditions for our first musical in our 82nd Season: LEGALLY BLONDE! This fun, energizing, hit musical will be an amazing experience for all involved. We are looking for a great group of people to take on this amazing show with us, and make our first show one for the record books!

The Details:

LEGALLY BLONDE
Book by Heather Hach
Music and Lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin
Based on the novel by Amanda Brown and the MGM motion picture

OMG! Star sorority sister and fashionista extraordinaire, Elle Woods, gets dumped by her long-time boyfriend Warner because she isn't "serious" enough for his political ambitions. Rather than hit the bar, she decides to take the bar as the best way to prove him wrong and win him back. So, Elle puts down the credit card, packs up her chihuahua Bruiser, and goes where no Delta Nu has gone before-Harvard Law School. She discovers the smart, capable woman she was meant to be and the audience reaches its only possible verdict: this is irresistible fun in the first degree!
