Legally Blonde: The Musical

Amazingly, the musical version of "Legally Blonde" got a not-bad review from the chief theater critic for the New York Times. Perhaps he was just glad he didn't have to re-watch the musical of "High Fidelity."

Here's my favorite paragraph:

This high-energy, empty-calories and expensive-looking hymn to the glories of girlishness, based on the 2001 film of the same title, approximates the experience of eating a jumbo box of Gummi Bears in one sitting. This may be common fare for the show’s apparent target audience — female ’tweens and teenagers who still believe in Barbie. But unless you’re used to such a diet, you wind up feeling jittery, glazed and determined to swear off sweets for at least a month.

If you happen to be in New York anytime in the next, oh, seven years, "Legally Blonde" might be there waiting for you!
