Legally Blonde

Legally Blonde
Music and Lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Neil Benjamin Book by Heather Hach based on a novel by Amanda Brown and the MGM movie. Spotlight Theatre, Benowa, Gold Coast. Director: Morgan Garrity. 31st July – 22 August, 2015

Director Morgan Garrity and Musical Director Julie Whiting have put together a fabulous rendition of Legally Blonde the Musical at Spotlight Theatrical Company.  So many of the performers stood out with their original characterization, including standout performances from Heidi Enchelmaier (as Elle Woods), Jamie Watt, Josh Lovell, Jessica Papst and Jacquelyn Pointing to name a few. 

The set designers have done a fabulous job accommodating for the many set changes which included the stage transforming between Alpha Gamma Delta, Harvard Law, the Courtroom, the restaurant and the department store.  The transformation is amazing as it happens right before your eyes.

During the “UPS Delivery” scene, the delivery man (played by Brock Dunstan) came through the audience and, without giving too much away, he certainly entertained the ladies in the front row.

Legally Blonde also starred Pepper the Chihuahua as “Bruiser” and Rufus the bulldog as “Rufus”. Such beautiful dogs who definitely stole the hearts of the audience.

The crowd on opening night thoroughly enjoyed the performance and a few seem to be going back to see it again!
