** DC PREMIERE **

Elle Woods appears to have it all, but her life is turned upside down when her boyfriend Warner dumps her so he can attend Harvard Law. Determined to get him back, Elle geniously charms her way into the prestigious law school. While there, she struggles with peers, professors and her ex. With the support of some new friends, though, Elle quickly realizes her potential and sets out to prove herself to the world.

DC Metro Theater Arts Review

“In this summer of our discontent…a bit of cheer in the form of a frothy tale of a privileged white girl…can be a welcome diversion. When it is as perfectly and winningly performed as Keegan Theatre’s Legally Blondethe diversion is a thoroughly delightful one.”

DC Theatre Scene Arts Review

“Keegan Theatre’s production of Legally Blonde is so over-the-top, fabulously fun – the perfect sweet treat on a sweltering DC summer evening. Director Ricky Drummond dials up the campiness with fun sight gags and asides to the audience, all played for laughs.”

Washington City Paper Review

Legally Blonde bends and snaps its way into your heart, whether you want it to or not. The musical is as fun and effervescent as the movie on which it’s based…The excellent ensemble cast – right down to the furry, four-legged friends playing Bruiser and Rufus – lights up the stage.”
