Legally Blonde, the musical
by Wimberley Players

Jul. 12 - Aug. 04
Fridays-Sundays

A fabulously fun award-winning musical based on the adored movie, Legally Blonde The Musical follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. This show is action-packed and exploding with memorable songs and dynamic dances. Elle Woods appears to have it all. Her life is turned upside down when her boyfriend Warner dumps her so he can attend Harvard Law. Determined to get him back, Elle ingeniously charms her way into the prestigious law school. While there, she struggles with peers, professors and her ex. With the support of some new friends, though, Elle quickly realizes her potential and sets out to prove herself to the world.

 

Based on the novel by Amanda Brown and the Metro Goldwyn-Mayer movie, Legally Blonde the Musical with original music and lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin chronicles the journey of Elle Woods, a fashion-savvy and determined UCLA sorority queen who defies expectations and stereotypes to pursue her dreams at Harvard Law School.

 

Director Donna Provencher has assembled a stellar team of designers and an equally gifted cast, diligently crafting an exhilarating show for the Wimberley Players stage. "The Wimberley Players artistic team is excited to bring this entertaining and empowering musical to our community. It's a story that resonates with audiences of all ages, celebrating the power of self-discovery and staying true to oneself."

 

The 2001 film Legally Blonde drew inspiration from writer Amanda Brown's personal journey as a blonde student at Stanford Law School, blending her passion for fashion and beauty with the challenges of academic life and social dynamics. Reese Witherspoon brought Brown's character to life on screen, earning herself and the movie critical acclaim and multiple award nominations, including Golden Globe nods for Best Motion Picture and Best Actress.

 

The Wimberley Players cast consists of Rebecca Woods as Elle Woods, Brendan Thomas as Emmett Forrest, Reji Smith as Paulette Buonafonte, Robert Gonzales as Warner Huntington III, Trinity Adams as Vivienne Kensington, Jenny Kim Thiem as Brooke Wyndham, Taylor Dabbs as Margot, Shelby Breda as Serena, Kelly Menz as Pilar and Melissa Beaudin-Vandolder as Enid Hoopes.  An awesome ensemble includes Harmony Austin, Bryanna Dumond, Billie Guffey, Caitlyn Harris, Javauna Harris, Madelynn Henson, Tate Kirschner, Samuel Ellisor, Kenny Mosier, Kharina Pineda, Christopher Velasquez, Omarion Reed, and Susannah Wilson.
