Laura Bell Bundy Prepares for the Tony Awards

TonyAwards.com spent a day with Laura Bell Bundy as she got her hair done and shopped for a dress to wear to the 2007 Tony Awards.

[@wolfelee356]

love this video but it’s painfully 2000’s

[@Kristenbasore]

I'm so glad she's coming back to play elle woods for a little bit this summer!!!! It's like that role was made for her!!

[@LindsayKBurton]

All broadway actresses and (I think) actors need to wear wigs because their hair could be straighten in one scene then maybe in curls the next. Not only would it take too long to change hairstyles but it could also damage the actor/actress's hair

[@Niqhtmusic]

Yup! Almost all shows have it..

[@SCTWeasel]

Dreamy McDreamy Warner Hunnington the 3rd Lara Bell is so priceless

[@PhantomPhreak16]

thats so funny when she tried on the dress and then omigod you guys started lol

[@Broadwayfan1220]

i agree, i also would love 2 shop with her. i love how she introduces all of her PMS girls

[@mcfit707]

Uhm...do you not know how theatre works? People move on to other roles. Contracts expire. It's not a matter of getting rid of her...she was just involved with the show for over 2 years, her voice was getting shot, and I'm sure she has more in store for her.

[@bridge5732]

Ryan M. You know, I’ve always wondered that. Does every actor/actress have different contracts times for a leading role? I’m really curious

[@tuesdayella101]

I love at 3:38 when she does her little eyebrow thing. It's sooooo cute!

[@naomi-gu1gh]

How are you now lol?

[@broadwayboundqt]

She's got a GreAT personality!She would be fun to go shopping/Dancing with!:)

[@batgirlnicole]

i was at that STAGE DOOR AND MET THE CAST!!!♥

[@GlindyUpland]

I almost killed myself when I heard that because I heard in, like, November that she was only in it until Febuary so I was all "we gotta go! we gotta go!" and it was so freaking cold!

[@dancexlauren301]

can u say... GORGEOUS!

[@BlondElmo97]

I love LBB so very much

[@KnivingKris]

yeah, next, as in, "this is the next dress, love as in, "I'm loving this dress!"

[@eresbarcelos]

I love her, she is so cute.

[@jmd4411]

thanks for the update!

[@kakao-katze]

Ah, sure do love that late 2000s youtube replying system. Remember, if you see comments from a decade ago that doesn't make sense, remember that it is probably a reply to someone else's comment. It's always fun trying to piece the comments that correspond together. ha

[@stephanieb88]

LOVED the yellow one! It looked like one in how to lose a guy in 10 days :) GORGEOUS! :)

[@StripesofShay]

why didn't she perform in the tonys if she was nominated???

[@HeyItsSarah30]

StripesofShay because the Tony’s that legally blonde performed in (2009) was when the US tour was happening. Laura was in the broadway cast and the broadway version had already closed like the year before.

[@mirrorminer1355]

She did perform

[@Kikiricki11]

@@HeyItsSarah30 That doesn‘t make any sense as Leslie was mentioned here as still playing her part.

[@HeyItsSarah30]

@@Kikiricki11 because this company of legally blonde (the broadway company) didn’t perform In the Tony’s. The touring company did and it was after the broadway show already closed

[@Kikiricki11]

@@HeyItsSarah30 No, Broadway had not closed yet. This was the tony awards of 2007, right? Legally Blonde the musical on Broadway closed in 2008. My point was: Here Leslie still played Serena, she left sometime in 2007 and since then someone else played her until the show closed. That is why this is an indication that this must have been before they closed.

[@marenaferrel]

how did you get to meet her? i would absolutely love to see her in the show but i would also love to meet her!

[@KnivingKris]

lol "I walked all the way here in my heels!"

[@silenthillmaster755]

Bend and POW!

[@JessesAngel]

I hope she stays longer as Elle bc apparently whoever won from the Reality series is having a very hard time in rehersals and have pushed back her starting date to mid august.

[@pinklover9100]

Whoa annaleigh's legs are pale, i love her voice though its so high and cute!

[@musiclova4121]

hey melrose from ANTM is at 3:36!! thats weird. but yeah laura bells pretty much amazing.

[@Lokimicfurt]

that was my same question.

[@delibessylvia3]

i am happy for annaleigh :) She got a way better and bigger role Glinda :)

[@raspberryflowers]

DreamOn That's Laura Bell Bundy, not Annaleigh Ashford, honey

[@HeyItsSarah30]

Hazel Solomon Laura was Glinda as well but before legally blonde. Lol

[@JessesAngel]

I dont want to give any names away but I have family who work in the theater business and thats what they have been hearing from other LB people.

[@flyingbird25]

Wait, where did you hear this? I'm just wondering. If so, I do hope LBB stays just a bit longer ;)

[@KnivingKris]

Love. She says love. Or at least that what i think she says...

[@JessesAngel]

I dont think it would be right to give names on here but I have family in the theater business and have heard from people at Legally Blonde that whoever won the show is not ready for her opening and may have to push her opening to mid August :)

[@Broadwaymusialzz]

did she preform on the Tony's that year....

[@butterflyywings]

Where did you hear that?

[@euqueromenos]

LBB *O* Pure Talent...

[@beautiful0soul]

[@mzdna]

[@fionnmcglacken35]

Dana Case Haha... MySpace. Cute.

[@jmd4411]

I read Laura Bell Bundy just extended her contract for an additional 6 months.

[@chocolateXDyum]

[@HappyIsWhatHappens]

[@wickedfan7777]

[@OvidioLuis]

[@buffymovies]

she does have blonde hair, but she wears a wig on stage, most girls do

[@SalinasMonkey831]

[@derogatony]

No. It's Leslie Kritzer.

[@OCbeachgirl72]

whats the girls name who plays magot something ashberg

[@autumnde-morette8883]

OCbeachgirl72 Annaleigh Ashford

[@flyingbird25]

Annaleigh Ashford :)

[@jmd4411]

I believe she is still leaving in February.

[@broadwayluva]

her wig

[@ImHyper11]

ummmm... the one from the musical "omigod you guys"

[@Pgooby]

dreamy mcdreamy lol

[@chocolateXDyum]

why though? they are already blonde

[@angeliquemariel2916]

LOL IK RIGHT?!?

[@lydikiti]

@@angeliquemariel2916 cause back to back they could have scenes with a different hairstyle and a 10 second quick change, instead of curling hair they throw on the pre-curled wig.

[@thebeatlesgrl]

well yah i saw the show just why in their right minds would they get rid of her

[@thebeatlesgrl]

why did she give up her role as elle

[@thebeatlesgrl]

i no how it works it just makes me sad

[@yogoqueen]
