As a former high school drama troupe director: THANK YOU for letting your (older) kids do adult material! I always pushed as far as I could for my students (who were mostly 16-18) to do material that was considered a little mature or advanced for them...and it prepared them for their careers as actors! Casting directors and producers always seek out performers who have mature experience, and many high school students miss out on developing that maturity when they're forbidden to tackle any material like this. To the director and producer: Your troupe is EXCELLENT, very professional for their age, and handle the material like they've been doing it for years. Brava.

[@maribeld84]

I also teach school drama. For me it's not that the higschoolers can't handle it, it's more that the audience is their parents and younger siblings. I always felt the school show should be a family friendly event. Drama class in contrast is free game for more adult material.

[@piercerose5592]

as a person who was going to do legally blonde as their first musical (unfortunately cancelled because of coronavirus) i definitely can say that i would’ve loved to do a more mature version than the jr version. our director wanted to do the original version but the principal pushed for it to be the jr version :(

[@Ellie-ln8sc]

@@maribeld84 I'm in high school and I'm not sure if this a bit a weird to say to a teacher but the reason for wanting to do more adult material is to get used to it and to have more experience with it

[@maribeld84]

@@Ellie-ln8sc I completely respect that, and again, in class, that's totally fair game. I was talking about being aware of your audience. If you want to do a more mature production and invite just your grade, or just the highschool, that's cool too. Forgive me, I teach k-5, so I'm a bit more sensitive to subject matter. I'd love to transition to highschool some day and do more meaty stuff :-D

[@queerlibtardhippie9357]

Yes. If you actually want to have a career you gotta do the real versions lol

During chip on my shoulder, I really wish Emmett used the original line of, "I haven't slept since 1992." I think that would've been funnier, since, you know, he wasn't alive.

so much of legally blonde is on the lead and the fact that this girl is, at most, 18 is blowing my mind. That voice and presence is so Elle. I didn’t know myself that well at 18, let alone a character.

[@caitlinwilliams3001]

I think an argument could be made to the fact that being a character is much easier than being yourself. You know how the character will turn out, their character is developed, and you truly get to know them. It's much harder being yourself when so much is unknown. But a point well made regardless.

This might be a little dramatic, but this is my favorite Elle. She’s so realistic. I absolutely loved it.

I agree she's one of the best I've seen because she really seems to feel what Elle goes through so she's incredibly easy to empathize with. This also had my favorite Paulette and I don't say that lightly 🤗💜

[@remyratatata]

a lot of her line delivery seems to be taken from laura bell bundy (which is understandable) but she still has a personal style and for a high schooler she's absolutely amazing. elle and paulette are the most difficult parts, especially in terms of comedy and they've both killed it. i hope they're doing well now since they probably already graduated.

[@baeah3021]

Sometimes with things like this they purposefully turn up the audio from the mics and all other by noise down so that you can hear the performers. Essentially, it sounds quiet bc the audience is purposefully muted

[@cr0issants]

Yeah lol 😂

[@J0ELLEx]

They might have filmed during a dress rehearsal

[@mooravity8140]

No it's not just the mics being recorded, or over dress rehearsal, because you can hear some pretty loud laughter during some of the parts (like "Ireland"). So yeah, the audience just doesn't think it's funny I guess. I don't see how someone couldn't though

[@TheHedgehogGiraffe]

Little detail I caught that I love and I think really speaks to all the actors in this show really knowing their characters: when Elle proposes to Emmett, in the background you can see Elle’s dad taking his wife’s drink and downing the whole ass thing in one go. This production is so, SO good. I have never seen such an amazing high school production of Legally Blonde, and I’ve seen a LOT. The two leads, especially, are incredibly well cast. If Emmett’s actor doesn’t go on to do great things in theater I will be extremely surprised. This whole thing was great, thank you so much for uploading it.

This Enid is even better than Broadway. This is the Enid we deserve. This is my canon Enid now. Emmett stole the show. The expressions at 'Legally Blonde' were spot on, he manages to hit the right points that make Emmett, while keeping his rendition fresh. This Paulette was so charming and adorable, I didn't skip 'Bend and Snap' this time. When I saw Elle's face, I knew that this was an Elle Woods face. And her vocals were gorgeous too! Brooke had a few mic issues, but pulling off 'Whipped Into Shape' it not a feat, and I loved the 'Delta Nu' part. Callahan, Warner, Vivian, brought out the meanness in these characters. Even the supporting cast, how in the zone the boys were in 'Gay or European', the Greek chorus, the judge, the Parda people in 'What You Want', the harmony in 'Welcome to Harvard Law'... you all worked together to make an immersive story, while reinventing the characters. My love to all the people who worked in this, you all are so talented and have so bright futures.

I'm just putting it out there that Mitchell sink (Emmett) was ADORABLE and SO TALENTED. His voice? AMAZING. His acting? SPOT ON. Like did you see his little innocent smile when Warner asks Elle to do the bend and snap again? It was amazing! Everyone in the cast was incredible amazing and talented don't get me wrong! His addition to the little details he put into Emmett really made him come to life.

Costumes and the set were beautiful and on point. All these kids did the most amazing job ever and it was so much better than anything I've seen, Good job!
