Legally Blonde What You Want (Today Show 6-13-07)

[@genoganiza6596]

Laura Bell Bundy owns this role. I cant see anyone nailing it so perfectly :)

[@Reeny125]

I know! I hope she goes back to theater soon. :o)

[@nyctravis3381]

+Gen Oganiza She reminds me of Doris Day

[@erikabaird7622]

Except maybe Reese Witherspoon.

[@HeyItsSarah30]

Erika Baird Reese who? Lol

[@welcometofalsettolannddd2924]

Hey It’s Sarah the actress of Ell from the MOVIE, duuuhh lol

[@sw618]

This is a perfect example of the difference lighting designers make in a show.

[@titotobing4427]

well, he got fired for a sexual misconduct a year ago. so i guess, he's fine.

[@pearlgalaxy]

@@titotobing4427 I mean, he was getting very closer to Laura during the interview, it was very awkward.

[@KawaHato]

he's a terrible interviewer...wtf. he says something awkward and negative twice, i feel bad for her, lol.

You guys don't seem to mind it when they unfairly do it to the president

[@coquetteprincess]

@@meltedmarshdaddy shut the fuck up

[@meltedmarshdaddy]

@@coquetteprincess When facts beat you it makes you rage

[@vi5133]

@@meltedmarshdaddy My dude, the president and a broadway actor are two very different roles. One literally is made to be criticized by their people because they represent, and one is a normal person who acts on a stage. Like the president *better* be prepared for “uncomfortable” questions, he’s legit the president. The same sentiment does not extend to an actor in anything

[@meltedmarshdaddy]

@@vi5133 No not really. It's just excuses for double standards and hypocrisy. If they did it to Kamala Harris youd be complaining and whining and suddenly those nuances wouldn't matter.

[@abbichidam7691]

I admire LBB’s persistence, I don’t mean they totally screwed up I’m saying that interviewer was totally psyching her out and part of the poster ended up on her face when she first came out but she brushed it all off and put on her big beautiful Elle Woods smile👱🏻‍♀️👩🏼‍🎓

[@aidanlam5336]

Abi Chidam I didn’t even notice that happened lol. It looked strange, but she handled it so perfectly I just assumed she was pulling a flag or something out of her headpiece 😂

[@adriandurlej9266]

that was so fucking clean i barley noticed i was of course paying more attention to her performance. What a PRO.

[@netherfield2000]

Broadway shows always look bad on the the today show stage in broad daylight. Seen the show twice and love it (on a real stage).

[@gummy5862]

@Colin Mahoney It could’ve looked a lot better. I hate seeing numbers from musicals being performed out of context because it never does it justice.

[@gabiquesnel45]

this interviewer made me really uncomfortable sksksks

[@user-cp1lj3bn3b]

@virginiaclemmpoe Yeah and I don't know if I'm overthinking it but at 0:40 he gets closer to her, looks down for a brief moment and points to her chest area for a bit. The hand gesture is really unnecessary and uncomfortable to do to a person being interviewed.

Annaliegh's face when the guy blows the wistle is priceless!! That is why she rocks

[@crzy220]

She didn't mess up the lines, they were changed to fit this performance

[@hardcandy9880]

Did anyone else notice how she skillfully fixed that blooper (the paper sticking to her hat and blocking her face)? And she didnt just remove it. She incorporated it in her dance including how she hid it and threw it away.

[@oliviafrancis1926]

friends, it starts at 1:51

Olivia Francis bless your heart

[@blazerheata6479]

thanks

Thank you

[@Dancing4Life24]

Playing Elle woods was the best role I've ever played. So much fun

[@SemiColonical]

Does anyone else think this doesn't feel as good without the lead-up? =/ I mean it's still amazing, but it's kind of like...blech, without the scene before it.

[@-afrodite]

i’m 12 years late. (my entire life lmao) but so much better would’ve been so much better (😌) imo

[@honestlyfacts3108]

L So Much Better doesn’t have dancing though, it’s more or less blocking

[@maggieobersat3861]

put a little "ALL RIGHT" in the world...

[@dlc.1117]

When the interviewer first showed up on the screen I instantly knew “this dude’s a weirdo”. He made things weird and awkward. He was negative in ways that can be oblivious. But LBB was great with dealing with that.

[@aldcbossladies4462]

That I object line got a little bit weirder considering what we know now about Matt Lauer.

[@bzzarre815]

they skipped alot of lines... for example , the admission men were supposed to have a coverstion... and elle was to say (IM) WHAT YOU WANT.. NOT JUST "WHAT YOU WANT".

[@beardedartisan]

They only had a short amount of allotted air time, so they had to trim the number to fit.

[@Justmythoughts24]

She did say I'm. It's just that the poster got stuck to her hat and blocked off the mic from picking up her first word as the mic rests on the bill of the hat. If you watch her lips closely, she says it.

[@kellymarie8101]

Anyone here in 2019?! 💞

I've fallen in love with this show, after watching the series about finding the new Elle Woods, praying it'll come back to the UK, as I never watched it when it was on

[@Elphie1988]

I know,I love annaleigh when I saw her in wicked, during the catfight scene, she hit herself in the head with her wand and shouted "I'm ok, don't worry I'm ok" And SJB laughed through the whole rest of the scene and it was great. I laughed so hard and when I met her she said it reall hurt but she was trying not to laugh to much. I guess she said SJB is not good at holding in her laughter

[@mchammar416]

a piece of the paper that she breaks through stuck to her hat! lol

[@smiley3199]

Ugh I wish the camera quality was so much better. Like the movie had good camera quality but whenever I find videos of the musical is always such terrible camera quality :( The Performances Are still amazing tho

[@clusterchuck]

"time for my cross" hahaha LOVE Laura Bell Bundy!

[@nicaurick9422]

I'm doing legally blonde at my school tomorrow after school

[@cookieaddictions]

Did she mess up when she said “what you want is me” instead of “I’m the girl for you”?

[@caleighhhhh67]

yeah

[@beeasmr6235]

Even when she messed up in the beginning she still pulled it off. I love Laura omg

I don't know, I got to go back stage and talk to her. She was really nice. Actually, we talked to her ON the stage, but the audiance was gone and there was no one there. lol

[@4545sarah]

doing performes on tv like the Today show they have a senten time becaus they have to go to commercial. that why the cut some part out.

[@BkGoodBoyBad]

MAY I APPROACH!!!!

Its crazy to me how not so old this video clip seems to me, even though it's more than ten years old.

[@potterheadharry2316]

*sees Leslie Kritzer in the background*

[@rlxc4lifee]

It's just paper, I think they put a new one on at each performance

[@daaancewithmeee]

does she really have taps on the bottom of those shoes...? I can never tell if she is really tapping or not.. if so, she has some really clean tapping.

[@orcachick2005]

She's not. Someone is drumsticking in the background.

her contract was extended till june!

she is my favorite Broadway actress behind Lea Michele!!!

[@emilykirk9890]

Well this didn’t age well

[@tinadoyle237]

Matt Lauer was so condescending here. He is not missed

[@horrormgirl4979]

Did she get the words wrong at the start?

[@jacobbuczak3998]

HorrorM Girl no they changed it because it sounded "odd" but his sounds weird

[@alexatm2246]

HorrorM Girl they had to change it so it fits better with the shortened time and lack of context

[@niamhfallon1384]

Yes she did the wrong words, I've heard her talk about it on some interview. But the important thing is she carried on and delivered an amazing performance.

Is the Today Show called Today or Today Show?

[@HeyItsSarah30]

ChezFeroce today show. Lol

[@kempokarate12]

she just kind of threw it. and i totally would have messed up the words because she was saying the words for the very first line instead of where she started and i would have too, especially if i had just walked through paper and got some stuck on me. but great recovery

[@bettip4331]

LBB IS SUCH A KWEEEEEEEEEEN

[@Jackaz15]

@boy29girl that also cut off her "I'm" cos the microphone is in her hat

[@iAmMadeOfSoup]

Lol she held onto the poster piece

Y do they need 2 have a promotional thing on Today when the entire show was proshot by MTV and now on u2b?!

[@broadwaymike92]

Is Paul Canaan one of the Dancers or Band Members?

[@rowelle]

This performance is so heavily edited (like the cut out a lot of stuff to fit the time allowed for the segment). I wish they would've done the whole number as it is in the actual show, but would've been too long. It felt really rushed.

[@funkyflyswim]

yes the lines are changed, i noticed it for shrek as well

[@rentluvr]

who was she in hairspray?

[@debbierolando4130]

ok I just noticed I was born on 6-13-07
