Legally Blonde JR.

Based on the award-winning Broadway musical and the smash-hit motion picture Legally Blonde, The Musical JR. is a fabulously fun journey of self-empowerment and expanding horizons. The show's instantly recognizable songs are filled with humor, wit, and sass — leaving cast members and audiences alike seeing pink!

Legally Blonde JR. follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes, snobbery, and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. When Elle's boyfriend, Warner, dumps her and heads to Harvard, claiming she's not "serious" enough, Elle takes matters into her own hands, crafting a showy song-and-dance personal essay and charming her way into law school. Befriending classmate Emmett and spunky hairdresser Paulette along the way, Elle finds that books and looks aren't mutually exclusive.  As Elle begins outsmarting her peers, she realizes that law may be her natural calling after all.

Legally Blonde JR. features large, energetic dance numbers with an expandable cast of sorority sisters, law school students, hairdressers, and more.

Musical Theater FAQ

  • Yes. Both students with us and non-students can enroll in our musicals.

  • Junior musicals are well-known musicals adapted for performance by students in grades K-9. These shows are usually 60/70 minutes long and feature music adapted for developing voices and kid-friendly scripts.

  • Yes. We ask every performer to audition. Auditions take place on the first rehearsal day. We ask that the students prepare 16 bars (approximately 30 seconds) of a song from the show or another musical. Our directors take notes and ask which parts they want to audition for. This does not guarantee they will be cast in those parts. However, our directors will find a role that fits your child best.

  • Students need to have the appropriate footwear and dancewear for rehearsals. (Dance shoes, dance attire.)

  • Parts are given out on week two of rehearsals. We want to emphasize that every role in the show is significant and valuable, and we aim to provide a positive and inclusive experience for all our performers. We encourage all participants to be team players, open to exploring new roles and challenging themselves. While we understand that everyone has a specific part in mind, we encourage all participants to be open to exploring new roles and challenging themselves. We believe that each performer has the potential to shine in any role they are given.
