Legally Blonde Reviews
Daily Herald- Somewhat Recommended
"...One might assume satirical intent from the show's creators, if the "satire" had any bite. It doesn't. Moreover, after insisting there's more to Elle than her appearance, the show focuses on her appearance. And not just hers. Emmett gets a makeover during a "Pretty Woman"-style shopping spree and a prosecution witness' appearance is scrutinized by Elle and company as they try to determine whether he is "gay or European" in a late second act number that elicited some of the production's biggest laughs. Then there's "Bend and Snap," a tune that instructs women on using their physical assets to attract men, suggesting that sex appeal may be a woman's most alluring attribute."
Around The Town Chicago- Highly Recommended
"...Arlington Heights' Metropolis Performing Arts Centre opens its season with the delightful confection of Legally Blonde running through November 21, 2021. This musical version of the hit movie of a few years back follows the story of super-sorority girl Elle Woods (Alaina Wis) as she enters Harvard Law School to win back her snobby ex-boyfriend, Warner Huntington III (Jimmy Romano). Although Elle may be dressed in pink, we discover that the most important color is her heart of gold, which triumphs over all and leads to a happy ending, (This IS musical comedy, after all!)"
