"Just when you think by now you have seen the best Chagrin Valley Little 
Theatre has to offer, along comes 'Legally Blonde: The Musical' to blow 
you away. Two dozen of the best and brightest musical comedy performers 
this reviewer has seen, maybe ever, grace the stage on River Street for 
a show in need of this kind of raw talent."
/- Herb Hammer, Chagrin Valley Times/

Omigod, you guys! CVLT's summer production is *LEGALLY BLONDE: THE 
MUSICAL! *

Based on the novel by Amanda Brown and the 2001 hit film of the same 
name, LEGALLY BLONDE tells the story of outgoing and bubbly sorority 
star Elle Woods (Lindsay Simon), who doesn't take "no" for an answer and 
can handle anything.

When her boyfriend, Warner Huntington III (Brian Heigel), dumps her to 
start getting "serious," Elle puts down her credit card and decides to 
follow him to Harvard Law School to hit the books and win him back.

With some help from new-found friends Paulette (Theresa Dean), Emmett 
(Shane Hurst) and Bruiser the chihuahua, she learns that it's so much 
better to be smart. Most importantly, she proves that being true to 
yourself never goes out of style.

This Tony Award nominated musical features a Book by Heather Hach with 
Music by Laurence O'Keefe and Neil Benjamin. It won seven major awards, 
including the coveted Best Musical 2011 Olivier Award.

*Also Starring:* Jessica Harris, Alice Gibbs, Eric Oswald, Alex 
Marzullo, Kaley Voorhees, Alexandria Echols, Julia Zook, Sally Morris, 
Lauryn Hunter, Bryan Heraghty, Kevin Pecjak, Steve Tiderman, Ryan 
Bernstein, Ken Parsons, Michael Litherland, Andy Novak, Alison Arko, 
Jessica Centorbi, Heather Strahl, Jessica Pollak, Taylor Morton and Jen 
Ryan

/Murder by the Falls/ kicks off each new season at CVLT with an original 
audience-participation comedy/mystery. Money raised from this highly 
popular event goes to the general operating expenses of the theatre.

People (Detectives) will be grouped 8 per squad. You may choose your 
fellow Detectives or the Chief (CVLT) will assign your partners for you. 
You and your team will compete for prizes, searching the Village for 
clues, and helping our intrepid detectives to solve the crime! Space is 
limited and tickets always sell fast! Get yours today!

  * 7:00 - Hors d'oeuvres and beer/wine cash bar at the Theatre
  * 8:00 - Act I, in which the mystery is revealed.
  * 8:45 - Your team search for clues in the windows of stores in the
    Village and interviews characters on the street.
  * 9:15 - Return to 'Headquarters' for catered dessert as your team
    decides on a solution to the mystery
  * 10:00 -- Act II -- The criminal is uncovered and prizes are awarded
    to the team who was closest to the answer!

This year, you and your fellow detectives will be asked to help solve 
*"CEREAL KILLER"*. This original script by Greta and Andrew Rothman 
takes place at the Purple Horseshoe Casino, where three highrollers 
(Count Chocula and the brothers Boo and Franken Berry) have met untimely 
ends. Proprietor Lucky the Leprechaun tries to keep the situation under 
control, despite the antics of his bumbling staff (Snap, Crackle and 
Pop), a mobster (Tony the Tiger), the jealous hostess (Trix Rabbit), and 
various other guests and personnel. Last-gambler-standing Toucan Sam, 
fearing he may be the next victim of the "Cereal Killer," has called in 
Inspector Gotcha and his temporary partner, crime novelist Grayson Bran 
(played by special guest *Leon Bibb*), to solve the mystery! Cleveland 
TV personality *Jan Jones* also appears as shady gambler Mini Wheats.

Plenty of intrigue and laughs await you and your fellow 'detectives' as 
you compete for prizes by watching the show and searching the Village of 
Chagrin Falls for clues.

Steve Eva and the Chagrin Studio Orchestra 
<http://chagrinfallsstudioorchestra.org/> in collaboration with Opera 
Per Tutti <http://www.operapertutti.org/> and The Western Reserve 
Chorale <http://www.westernreservechorale.org/> perform /H.M.S. 
Pinafore; or, The Lass That Loved a Sailor/ (1878), Gilbert and 
Sullivan's fourth operatic collaboration and their first international 
sensation.

The story takes place aboard the British ship H.M.S. Pinafore. The 
captain's daughter, Josephine, is in love with a lower-class sailor, 
Ralph Rackstraw, although her father intends her to marry Sir Joseph 
Porter, the First Lord of the Admiralty. She abides by her father's 
wishes at first, but Sir Joseph's advocacy of the equality of humankind 
encourages Ralph and Josephine to overturn conventional social order. 
They declare their love for each other and eventually plan to elope. The 
captain discovers this plan, but, as in many of the Gilbert and Sullivan 
operas, a surprise disclosure changes things dramatically near the end 
of the story. - See more at:
