Legally Blonde the musical opened at the Palace Theatre in New York City on April 29th, 2007 and no short expense was taken. The huge production is adapted from the hit blockbuster movie which had audiences enjoying the "blond moments" of Elle Woods, who won over the hearts of the nation with her cute sense of intellect yet pureness of gullibility which keeps her character seemingly pure and innocence to the truth of harshness which the world revolves around her. The complete Legally Blonde franchise focus on two hit moves and now adds the Broadway musical all of which are based on Amanda Brown's novel. Both movie versions were quite successful at the box office and if the Broadway production follows in their footsteps it should be very successful as well.
