A Spork in the Road

We went to see Legally Blonde The Musical last week at Ruth Eckerd Hall, which was Lil’s birthday present.

I admit, I was not gung ho. I loved the movie, but I thought making a musical out of it was perhaps wringing more life out of the story than was possible.

I was wrong.

Wicked it was not, but the show was hilarious, perfectly paced, and packed with light but surprisingly catchy songs. The performances were excellent, the staging clever, and of course the dogs were both Tony-worthy.

I think the best moment of the show was when the UPS guy stuck his arm out from off-stage, holding a big package (wink wink, nudge nudge), and the entire audience of pink-clad mothers and daughters went ballistic.
