So, duh whoever said orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed and whoever decided to make a reality show out of Legally Blonde: The Musical is a genius! Love it, love it, love it!!! I don't think I can say that enough :)
I saw the play this summer when I was in New York and fell in love with Laura Bell Bundy as Elle Woods. Don't get me wrong, I was very skeptical to like any other Elle than Reese Witherspoon because she did a FANTASTIC job. But, Laura Bell delivered and I was rooting for her the whole time she was on stage, and hoped she got the internship from Professor Cunningham to prove Warner wrong. (hah like I didn't know that was going to happen).
As far as the TV show is concerned, I am reluctant of the potential girls competing for Laura Bell's role on Broadway. It's obvious to me that Bailey is going to win. My mom saw the beginning credits of the first episode and called it too. She has the persona, the voice, the moves and OMG the hair to play the next Elle. Only problem, I think she is a biaaaaaatch!
You know emz, I don't "cuss" on here often. But, I think this time is necessary. Bailey is the prettiest one and the most competitive, but to me, she does not exemplify the characteristics of Elle Woods. She seems more like a mean girl than a girl who would befriend her manicurist and spend Christmas alone with her and help get her dog back from her low-life ex-husband. As the judges told Bailey: "You're a little too Disney, tone it down." My take on this is that she needs to stop being fake and maybe then she will be a little more believable as Elle Woods.
I'm rooting for Lauren because I can tell she really wants it and genuinely cares about others. To me, she personifies the true spirit of Elle Woods.
