It was OK Review by: Sophie, Feb 17, 2010 |
| A good time for teens and those new to theatre, but not for Broadway veterans. If you must see this show, don't pay for great seats, it is simply not worth the high cost. It is not a bad show, but it is simply not Broadway at it's best. |

Talented cast in flawed show Review by: JW, Oct 17, 2008 |
I, for one, had mixed feelings regarding this show. Positively, the show features a number of talented performers; Paulette is a musical force and Bailey Hanks, making her Broadway debut, displays a commanding stage presence. In addition, the production values are top-notch with strikingly attractive scenic design and costumes.
Now, what didn't I like about this show? Well, the music is generally pedestrian and forgettable. A more serious ... read more problem is the storyline. Rarely have I seen so many stereotypes paraded on stage, one right after another. The show takes a sit-com perspective on social class, ethnicity and sexual orientation, severely diluting its feel-good message that success is attainable through diligence and hard work.
In summary, the talented and high-energy cast made the show enjoyable, but this is definitely not a must-see event. |

go see it with your tween before they close it down. Review by: theatreadoration, Oct 12, 2008 |
| why is this show closing. This is a great show. 5 sweet sixteeners went to see it and loved it. Don't generally like musical comedy movie knockoffs. But I guarantee a rollickin good time for all who have tweens teens and what better role model for young girls and boys everywhere than a girl who is smart, funny, and pretty in pink. The casting was really perfect. The acting superb and the score catchy. the girls adored it. It's no Phantom,... read more, but it deserves a longer run. |

Worth Seeing! Review by: CT29, Oct 10, 2008 |
Hi there! First, I got a great deal...5th row Orchestra Center for $55 off THIS site....that's awesome! Be sure to try the promo here.
As for my take...I had read the reviews and talked to folks who saw this show. I liked it a lot, but I have to admit I would not characterize it as "the best show on Broadway", or "nothing beats it". What it IS is high energy, quite funny, very, very cute. Bailey was phenomenal and I ... read more absolutely loved the use of the two dogs in the show. Good music, good production quality, great sets, and excellent talent.
This is definitely worth seeing before it closes. But if you are truly in search of the "best" of Broadway, you will want to check out Wicked, the Lion King, South Pacific, or Jersey Boys (in that order). You won't find any of those for $55 though!
P.S. there is some reference to sexual promiscuity and some skin shown throughout, but nothing your average teenager couldn't handle.

| My Girl Scout Troop just went to see Legally Blonde and LOVED IT! Baily Banks was awesome! Orfeh (who played Paulette) was amazing, too! I don't know why this show is closing!!! I would definately want to see it again! The music and stage sets were great; we never knew what was going to happen next. |

Bright colors, terrific actors...AWESOME! Review by: lyssie, Sep 4, 2008 |
i've seen this show 3 times-with Laura Bell Bundy, Becky Gulsvig, and then Bailey Hanks. They were all AMAZING. I love Legally Blonde and now have to go see it with Autumn Hurlbert (bailey's understudy).
My little sister to my grandparents loved it and we were cracking up during the whole thing! I don't know anyone who won't love it! |

DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THIS ONE - GO! Review by: seen many shows, Aug 28, 2008 |
| I saw this show just yesterday and LOVED it. It had wonderful actors, fabulous voices and catchy songs. You will be smiling throughout the show. I went because my daughter (12) was dying to see it and wasn't expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised and would definately recommend seeing it. A feel-good show! Don't hesitate!! Bailey Hanks was perfect for the role - loved her. Orfeh (who played Paulette) brought down the house ... read more with her amazing voice! Don't underestimate this one - GO, GO, GO! |

BEST SHOW! SO FUNNY AND AWESOME MUSIC!!!! Review by: claudia :D, Aug 24, 2008 |
| Legally blonde was my second broadway show. [lost more to come :] ] and i LOVED it. after seeing it i totally went pink! its a an excellent girly-girl show. i was worried it wasn't going to be that good of a show, and a waste of my money. i was TOTALLY wrong! it was so funny! i went with my mother [i was 13] and she was laughing! i would totally recommend it. im still singing these songs and pretending to be Elle Woods. I saw laura ... read more bell bundy who is my BIGGEST role-model. i LOVE her. but Laura has left to make her second CD :( but Bailey Hanks has taken her place. Bailey starred on the reality show "Legally Blonde the search for the next Elle Woods" on MTV. i watched the whole series and always wanted to Bailey to win, and she did! im sure that Bailey is doing a wonderful job on b'way. so deff. go see the show! |
