Based on the novel by Amanda Brown and the 2001 film, Legally Blonde is

Harvard Law to win back her boyfriend, but soon discovers how her law
education gives her the power to help others. With music and lyrics by
Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin and book by Heather Hach, this
popular musical comedy was nominated for multiple Tony and Drama Desk
awards.
