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.
