TUTS brings Legally Blond - The Musical to the Hobby stage for a fun time. tutshouston hobbycenter
I know that doesn't sound like much of a compliment, but when you consider that this is yet another cog in the nostalgic money-grab wheel of '90s and '00s movies reborn as musicals, it's high praise indeed.
In an attempt to win him back, Elle miraculously aces her LSAT and joins Werner at the Ivy League school in the hopes of proving her worth. But instead of snagging her unworthy man, Elle becomes a crackerjack lawyer and falls for her TA, Emmett an honorable man who sees and encourages Elle’s potential. Messages of fulfillment, working hard, being true to yourself, your word and your fellow sisters abound.
Big bouncy ensemble numbers pepper the show giving it a pep rally feeling and quite a few laughs along the way. Instead, Bonnet plays it far more grounded and serious with only flashes of the fun-loving party girl Elle is purported to be. Yes, she is still clad head to toe in her favorite color, pink. Or any shade of pink for that matter. With sparkle and faux fur, of course. But she often comes across like a standard leading lady rather than THE Elle Woods.
We'll take a mismatched suit any day though if it means we could do something about the many hilarious bad wigs that pepper this production.
