'Legally Blonde' on tap

NEWPORT – The Pend Oreille Playhouse is going blonde with Legally Blonde, The Musical playing Friday – Sunday, June 16-8 and June 23-25.

Directed by Charlie Monte with music directed by Millie Brumbaugh and choreography by Isabelle White, “Legally Blonde, The Musical” is written by Heather Hach and based on the blockbuster 2001 film starring Reese Witherspoon. It tells the story of Elle Woods, a sorority girl who enrolls at Harvard Law School to win back her ex-boyfriend Warner after he dumps her for not being “serious” enough. What starts as a naïve attempt to get-the-guy manifests into a journey of self-discovery and proving to herself and those around her that she is more than just a pretty face. With a colorful cast of supporting characters and catchy songs, “Legally Blonde” is a funny, uplifting show that reminds us to not let other’s perceptions keep us from being true to ourselves.

Our cast includes Paulina Staab, Gillian Monte, Melissa McNair-Davis, Joellie Heneise, Taylia Culver, Ayla Culver, Isabelle White, Roslyn Willoughby, Easton Townsend, David Heneise, Patricia Walker, Jahloni Culver, Christian Heneise, Danny Litowitz, Gail Cory-Betz, Jerrod Galles, Sophia Aldous, Christine Heneise, Chris Demlow, Janine Goodrich, Matt Goodrich, and Kristi Bell.
