[@paigerook2073]

SHE IS INSANE! Honestly anyone who plays Elle is like holy shit. We did legally blonde in my college and honestly it was so good and looked acc professional (we spent so much on the show and it was worth it) and our Elle was insane and was insane every single night! Our Emmett was also insane and did the iconic little dance in chip on your shoulder. My god I remember how many quick changes we all had. My quickest was what 10 seconds. Such a good show to do but god it takes it out of you

[@sunnysister806]

LOL. I love how you said that- however, this number is in the tradition of the musicals of the past, where a community must come in to lift the main character and to show that their goal is worth the struggle- like My Fair Lady at the dance or at Ascot, or a bit smaller when all the nuns come to sing “Climb Every Mountain” along with the wedding guests ❤️
