SUU theater dept. performs “Legally Blonde The Musical”
By Ashley H Pollock
Southern Utah University’s theater department will present performances of “Legally Blonde The Musical” Jan. 24, 25, 27, and 31 at 7:30 p.m. and Jan. 25 and Feb. 1 at 2 p.m. in the Randall L. Jones Theater.
This musical is based on the book by Amanda Brown and the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer motion picture, both from 2001. The story portrays Elle Woods as a ditzy blonde who gets into Harvard Law School and blows her competitors out of the water.
“This show is inherently feminine, but deceptively so,” said Danielle Brady, who plays the lead role of Elle Woods. “In the beginning you can’t see it. The lead, Elle, is infatuated and heartbroken and will do anything for the man she thinks she loves. However, opening that door led her to her true self and opened her eyes to how powerful and independent she is as a woman. Getting into Harvard, obtaining a coveted internship, standing up for herself after an assault, and then winning a huge murder trial was always something she was capable of, she just didn’t know she could do it until her world was flipped on its head.”
Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for alumni with card, and $7 for youth. SUU faculty/staff (and one guest) and students can get in free with a valid ID card. Tickets can be purchased at the America First Event Center Box Office, at the door the night of the performance, or online at suu.edu/pva.
