Legally Blonde: The Musical playing in P.G.

Omigod, you guys. Guess what musical is showing its briefs this summer in Prince George?

The international hit show Legally Blonde: The Musical is the summer blockbuster presentation by director/ choreographer Judy Russell at the P.G. Playhouse.

Russell announced this week that the show’s all-local cast would be led by Shelby Meaney as protagonist Elle Woods, Franco Celli as Warner, Padraig Hogan as Emmett and Murray Gable as Professor Callahan.

“This Tony-nominated production is ridiculously fun from start to finish and entertaining for all ages,” Russell said.

It features memorable and catchy tunes including: Omigod You Guys, What You Want, Chip On My Shoulder, and So Much Better, among others.

Legally Blonde features music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin and book by Heather Hach. It is based originally on the novel Legally Blonde by Amanda Brown and the 2001 film of the same name.

“The play tells the story of Elle Woods, a sorority girl who enrolls at Harvard Law School to win back her exboyfriend Warner,” Russell said.

“She discovers how her knowledge of the law can help others, and manages to surprise everyone when she defies expectations while staying true to herself.”

Legally Blonde: The Musical will run at the P.G. Playhouse July 17-28.
