VW independent staff and submitted information

America’s favorite blonde, Elle Woods, is ready to prove who’s in charge (again) as Legally Blonde the Musical comes to the Niswonger Performing Arts Center in Van Wert at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, October 29.

Presented by Laudick’s Jewelry and Kim Hohman’s Dance Works, the ultimate Broadway tribute to girl power, Legally Blonde will take you from the UCLA sorority house to the Harvard halls of justice with the timely coming of age story of Broadway’s brightest heroine. Fashionably, the supporting sponsor for Legally Blonde is Betsey’s Boutique.

Based on the movie, Legally Blonde follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes, sexism, snobbery, and scandal in pursuit of her dreams, and proves that you can be both legally blonde and the smartest person in the room.

Elle Woods appears to have it all. Her life is turned upside down, however, when her boyfriend dumps her so he can start getting more serious about his life and attend Harvard Law. Determined to get him back, Elle uses her ingenuity and charm to get into Harvard too. School begins with many struggles, but with the help of her new friends, Elle quickly realizes her potential, and her true assets, as she sets out to prove herself to the world and make everyone a believer. 

This contemporary, sassy musical moves at a breakneck pace driven by memorable songs and explosive dances. Legally Blonde warms the heart by proving that self-discovery never goes out of style.
