New Hampton School students will have audiences thinking pink when they present their production of Legally Blonde JR. with a private performance at 7:00, Friday May 11 and a public performance on Saturday, May 12 at 7:00. The fun and upbeat musical follows the adventures of a sorority girl named Elle Woods (Mikayla Williams ’18) – a Gemini with a double Capricorn moon – who tries to win her ex-boyfriend back by earning a Harvard law degree.
From the Director:
“Legally Blonde JR. may be a comedic, light-hearted show, but it also explores serious themes of self-discovery and independence which resonate with people of all ages,” says Joe Sampson, Director of Performing Arts and the director of the play.
With a book by Heather Hach, music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin, Legally Blonde JR. is based on the book by Amanda Brown and the hit Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer motion picture starring Reese Witherspoon.
