Synopsis
Elle Woods is living the seemingly ideal life in cozy Malibu, all while preparing for her big day: her engagement to her boyfriend, Warner Huntington III... at least, until Warner reveals he wants to break up with her, needing someone more serious in his ventures to study law at Harvard.
Heartbroken, yet undeterred, Elle follows him all the way there, finding herself an odd one out in a collection of pompous students. Yet, this accidentally turns out far better than she could imagine, with following events leading her to find a true calling as a lawyer, but also to discover what makes her truly special in a world full of normalcy.
The beautiful accident: My second run at the totality of Legally Blonde.
This opportunity came in first year due to the then-second years being an all-female group. I remember that moment I got confirmed as Emmett: jubilation, disbelief, relief even. Much of my earliest experience of theatre was a story of rejection. This was possibly the first time I felt trusted as a performer.
Safe to say, I never let that be wasted, and I haven't since.
An incredible experienced surrounded by an unbeievably talented and warm bunch of performers. Its left me with great relationships, and a belief in myself that has lasted since. For this experience, and also because of its music and deceptively clever writing, Legally Blonde is my favourite musical of all time.
Oh yes, and I did once play Kyle early into my secondary school days. That was pretty funny!
No matter what I go on to do, this will always be one of my favourite performances. For me, this was moving from the prologue to the beginning of chapter one. Unforgettable.
