A few weeks ago I visited the Savoy theatre in London to see the musical legally blonde. It’s about a girl named Elle Woods who is dumped by her boyfriend for not being ‘serious’. She’s heartbroken as she thought he wanted to propose to her. Her ex boyfriend Warner (Richard Fleeshman) then gets into Harvard law school. Elle decides she’s going to follow him to try and win him back. So she stays at home and studies hard while all her friends enjoy spring break and eventually she finds she is clever enough to apply for a place. Instead of writing the required essay Elle puts on a huge production to try and win over the school and she does only to find Warner now has ‘serious’ girlfriend.
Elle finds out she is actually a very good lawyer and she enjoys it, throughout the show she realises she doesn’t need Warner and at the very end marries her best friend Emmet.
The show was amazing! The songs were all so catchy I was singing them all week and when the cast were dancing I didn’t know where to look there was so much going on. The set was very cleverly done and so much detail went into it. The lighting was pretty spectacular and really added to the effect of the whole show.
I thought who ever was in charge of costume did a very good job. There were a lot of costume changes for everyone in the cast especially the leads and a few of the changes were done flawlessly on stage! I really think the two dogs stole the show though. There were so well trained, I know a lot of time would have gone in to making them behave in the exact right way and they were so cute!
I would recommend this show to young girls mainly as it has a very girly plot. I do think boys that appreciate the theatre would enjoy this show as with all shows the amount of effort that must have gone into the production is amazing. I would definitely go again!
