The Musical" is in the pink at CVLT this summer</h2>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:

FALLS, OH - "Omigod you guys!" Chagrin Valley Little
Theatre's stage will come to life with the summer musical
LEGALLY BLONDE on July 19th. This multiple Tony and
Olivier Award-winning, critically acclaimed musical is the
all-singing, all-dancing romantic comedy about knowing who
you are and showing what you've got! Performances run
through August 17th, rounding out CVLT's 83rd Consecutive
Season.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left">Based on
the Amanda Brown novel and the 2001 Reese Witherspoon film
of the same name, LEGALLY BLONDE is the story of college
sweetheart and homecoming queen Elle Woods (Lindsay Simon,
who CVLT audiences may remember as 'Tracy Turnblad' in
last summer's "Hairspray"). Elle isn't the type to take
"no" for an answer, so when her boyfriend, Warner
Huntington III (Brian Heigel), dumps her for someone a
little more "serious," Elle puts down the credit card,
hits the books, and heads for Harvard Law School to win
him back. With the help of her new friends Paulette
(Theresa Dean), Emmett (Shane Hurst) and her chihuahua,
Bruiser (Diesel / Devon), Elle sets out to prove that
she's got what it takes to become "serious" on her own
terms. LEGALLY BLONDE's show-stopping musical numbers by
Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin and its script with
enormous heart by Heather Hach are so much fun it should
be illegal!</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left">CVLT's
production of LEGALLY BLONDE is helmed by
director/choreographer Pamela LaForce, with musical
director David Keith Stiver. The cast also includes Alison
Arko, Rachel Armbruster, Ryan Bernstein, Brittany Dolinar,

Jessica Pollak, Jen Ryan, Heather Strahl, Kaley Voorhees,
Julia Zook, and features "Eli" as Rufus, the bulldog.</p>
