Legally Blonde Jnr

O.M.G.! Ballina Players Youth Theatre production of Legally Blonde Jnr is a like a breath of fresh air. The Players invest a lot of time in their Youth Theatre with annual performances in the January School Holidays which are staged by the young group with guidance from some adult members.

Legally Blonde Jnris a prime example of how this combination is a success. The production team of directors: Mike and Jaime, musical director Jordan Stotter and Jaime’s choreography presented a tight, very entertaining show.

With such a talented cast it was difficult to single out any one performer but Jamaika Smith, as Elle Woods, delivered polished performance. The depth of talent was impressive and with support from those members behind the scenes, the production was one of the best staged by this young troupe.

The music is a major component of the show and under Jordan’s direction, the singing was confident and disciplined; something missing from many productions I’ve reviewed.

Jaime’s choreography was effective and well executed and the entire cast were obviously having a ball – as were the capacity audience.
