The verdict is in…LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL is, according to the evidence presented by Time Magazine, “an Elle of a show.” Nominated for seven Tony Awards and ten Drama Desk Awards, KeyBank’s Broadway Series is called to the stand with LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL. The trial begins November 11 at PlayhouseSquare and is dismissed on November 23. Based on the hit MGM movie starring Reese Witherspoon and bestselling novel by Amanda Brown, LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL is “Serious” about the message that “What You Want” is to go after your dreams and not have people judge you by your appearance.

If you’ve ever been judged for the way you look or don’t look,
If you’ve ever had a dream that you never even imagined could come true,
All rise for LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL because beyond a reasonable doubt it is, according to Fox News, “an infectious good time!”

New York Times critic Ben Brantley said, “A girl can be a powder puff and a power broker at the same time. You see, LEGALLY BLONDE lets a gal have it all.”

The burden of proof is in LEGALLY BLONDE’S Tony and Drama Desk nominated music, lyrics, book, direction, choreography, set and costume design. Pat Collins of WWOR-TV declared, “I don’t think I’ve been this excited since Wicked. "LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL is funner!"
