Sometimes ‘Blonde’ Doesn’t Have More Fun

Recently Broadway welcomed a new musical, “Legally Blonde.” This one isn’t Reese Witherspoon in a bikini folks, but it have been if they had added music. The production cost a reportedly $12 million dollars to make, which is huge by Broadway standards. The writing itself is supposed to be pretty good, but the music is lame. I am still not sure if I am interested enough in this show to see it. I might send an in-law or something. Maybe a third cousin.

I am still amazed that this ever made it past the initial pitch. I can see that smoke-filled Broadway exec’s office, a large man in an even larger leather chair behind an imposing desk. The scriptwriter steps up and with a boyant smile proclaims “Legally Blonde, the Musical.” It sounds like a bad Saturday Night Live skit, only it’s true. If you decide to go see it, don’t expect a great deal. It’s a fun show they say, but not quite worth the ticket price.
