OMG! such a fun show!

Last night I checked out a brand-new musical on Broadway, Legally Blonde. Yup, as in the hilarious story of Elle Woods following her slimy ex-boyfriend to Harvard Law school, where she (and all of her pink and scented accessories)win over the hearts of the stodgy, snooty ivy leaguers. The musical follows a similar storyline to the movie, but it's snazzed up with breathtaking dance numbers and adorably catchy songs. From the top of the show, which opens with Omigod You Guys, a riot of a song performed by a gaggle of Elle's giddy Delta Nu sorority sisters, to the final court room scene featuring Bruiser (Elle's faithful chihuahua) decked out in a tie, I was either smiling or laughing the entire time. After all, what true CG! wouldn't love a musical all about following your heart, tackling challenges, having fun, and looking so cute while doing so? And I wasn't the only one lapping up Legally Blonde like it was brownie sundae a la mode--Paige Davis (from Trading Spaces) was sitting right behind me, laughing just as loud as everyone else!

I know many of you girls out there don't make it into NYC very often, but lucky for you, clips of the show are on YouTube! Here's a sneak preview including a few of the best songs. And when you're in the Big Apple next, definitely try to see it. You'll like, totally love it, for sure! :-)

Xoxo,
