MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury Union High School brings the hilarious and heart-warming “Legally Blonde, the Musical” to the stage Nov. 14-16.
Based on the popular movie starring Reese Witherspoon, the musical follows Elle Woods (Hannah Roque), who appears to have it all as Delta Nu sorority president in sunny California. Her life is turned upside-down, however, when her boyfriend dumps her so he can start getting serious about his life and attend Harvard Law School.
Determined to get him back, Elle uses her charm to follow him to Harvard. At school, she struggles with peers, professors and Warner Huntington (Michael Gyukeri). With the help of Paulette (Hadley Evans Nash) and Emmett (Jacob Klemmer), Elle quickly realizes her potential and sets out to prove herself to the world.
Nearly 50 students have been working onstage and off since September to bring the musical’s memorable characters and high-energy songs and dances to life. Shannon Bohler-Small is the director, and Liz LeBeau is the music director.
Performances are Friday and Saturday, Nov. 14 and 15, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 16, at 2 p.m. Tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for students/seniors. Call 382-1192 to reserve tickets or buy them at the door.
