We interrupt the lull in this blog to inform you that Legally Blonde will be showing on MTV at 1PM EST / noon CST / 1PM Pacific! This is a groundbreaking event, as it is the first show ever to air on national TV while it’s still packing them in on Broadway. Visit Elle’s Lounge for special features during the telecast!
The performance will feature the full-length performance as well as a behind-the-scenes look at this musical smash-hit!
If you can’t make it for the “early show,” Legally Blonde is set to show again this evening at 8 PM (Oct. 13), with future airings scheduled for 9 AM on Oct. 14 and 11 AM on Oct. 19.
Press notes describe the show:
Legally Blonde follows sorority star Elle Woods, who doesn’t take ‘no’ for an answer. So when her boyfriend dumps her for someone more ’serious,’ Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style.
Playbill got the inside scoop:
The musical was filmed a total of three times — once in its entirety, another without an audience, and a Sept. 18 filming with an audience of theatregoers ages 15-25. That performance took on a more interactive feel with the entire orchestra section full of pink-clad fans. All of the footage will be combined for the MTV broadcast.
Laura Bell Bundy will be starring as Elle Woods.
Legally Blonde was nominated for 7 Tony Awards during the 2007 season, and its cast recording is one of the top selling cast recordings on the charts!
Be sure to tune in, as the show starts in less than 10 minutes! MTV will also be showing subsequent airings of the performance, so don’t worry if you miss it this time!
