Elle Woods steps into the Broadway spotlight in this brand new musical.

After a pair of hit movies, beloved blonde Elle Woods is getting ready to step into the spotlight at Broadway's Palace Theatre. A new musical version of Legally Blonde begins performances in April 2007, and everyone's talking about how this overachieving fashionista will work her magic on the stage. After all, when you've been president of Delta Nu sorority and a Hawaiian Tropic girl, conquering Harvard Law—and the Great White Way—should be a cinch.

Legally Blonde will mark the Broadway directorial debut of Tony Award-winning choreographer Jerry Mitchell, whose credits include Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Hairspray, La Cage aux Folles and The Full Monty. Music and lyrics are by Nell Benjamin and Laurence O'Keefe (collaborators on several TheatreworksUSA musicals), and the book is by Heather Hach (co-writer of the hit film Freaky Friday). Plan now to catch Ms. Woods and the rest of the film's characters onstage in a big new Broadway musical.
