‘LEGALLY BLONDE: The Musical’ at LPAC is a Pink Rush of Girl Power, Talent, and Joy
Musicals-made-from-movies-made-from-books is a popular, winning formula drawing audiences from print, from film, from lovers of musicals – as well as “none of the above.” By the time a book- and/or movie-based musical hits Broadway, it tends to have a well-established fan base, eager for more. There will always be purists who claim one must read the book first or are emotionally tied to the movie. Coming from someone who’s experienced all three – in no particular order – I say there’s no one right or wrong way to enjoy a great musical. Nothing compares to the buzz and anticipation felt by a live audience when the curtain rises. Where personal issues are put aside and we can all sit entranced, together, for a few magical hours of drama, comedy and, especially, wondrous music and songs!
