Artwork from Legally Blonde The Musical.Sorority star Elle Woods doesn't take no for an answer. So, when her boyfriend dumps her for someone more "serious," Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style.

In its first year on Broadway, "Legally Blonde The Musical" earned seven Tony nominations, 10 Drama Desk nominations and an Outer Critics Circle Award. That same year, MTV aired the musical in its entirety to stellar ratings, and was subsequently nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards. In 2009, "Legally Blonde" received three Touring Broadway Awards in New York City: Best New Musical, Best Production Design and Best Choreography of a Touring Production.

As on Broadway, Tony Award-winner and Paw Paw, Mich., native Jerry Mitchell is the director and choreographer. Music and lyrics are by Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin, and the book is by Heather Hach.
