Legally Blonde, theMusical has arrived in Canal Fulton, Ohio on November 16-19
            Elle Woods had it made.  She was graduating with a 4.0 grade pointaverage in Fashion Merchandising, was the most popular girl in Delta Nusorority, and had the most eligible bachelor as a boyfriend.  Life could not be any better for Elle and allof her sorority sisters led by her good friends, Margot and Serena, just couldnot wait for the moment that everyone knew was coming.  With graduation approaching, Elle was waitingfor Warner, her boyfriend, to pop the question so she could advance in socialstanding and live the dream life in sunny Southern California.  That was until Warner told her that he wasgoing to Harvard Law School in far off Massachusetts and that she, meaningElle, just was not part of his future plans. So he dumped her while dining at a fashionable restaurant.  Devastated, Elle returned to her sororityhouse and went into hiding.
 
            So what does Elle do?  As stated, she withdraws from life and holesup in her sorority room.  Then, with alittle prodding from her friends, Margot and Serena, she reluctantly comes outand starts to revive timidly.  That isuntil she spots a magazine article which sparks her imagination and what animagination it is.  She decides that theonly way to win Warner back is to apply, get accepted and attend Harvard LawSchool.  Not to study the law but to winone for LOVE.  The only problem is thatHarvard Law School has never had a fashion merchandising major as an applicantmuch less as a student.   That is untilElle Woods applies for admission with an unusual marketing campaign.  And thus, Elle majestically gains admittanceto Harvard Law School, for all of the wrong reasons, which is somehow drummedinto her head during the first days at the school.
 
            It is with a great deal of pleasureand pride that the Canal Fulton Players present Elle Woods’ triumphs,tragedies, and travails as she progresses through law school.  Played by Kristina Currans, Elle befriends ashy hair dresser (Audrey Lee), a third year law student, who is on the brink ofentering the profession (Bryan Steffee), and a fellow law student who looksmore at home in a battlefield foxhole than a classroom (Courtney Hardy).  With her new friends and her new approach tolaw school, she battles the old boyfriend’s new girlfriend (Olivia Durell), anarrogant, mean and condescending law professor (Geri Marken-Rogler), and theentire snobby atmosphere of Harvard Law. To tell you more would spoil a fun filled evening at the Puff, which isthe performing arts auditorium at Northwest High School, 8580 Erie AvenueNorth, Canal Fulton, Ohio.
 
            Other members of the cast are OliviaPetrey (Brooke Wyndham, Margot), Jamie Orlando (Serena), Daniel Schmidt(Warner), Cyle Carte (Nikos), Drew Glover (Kyle), Maya McCoy (Chutney), andJake Sustersic (Carlos).
