Hopkins Drama Association Presents:

LEGALLY BLONDE, THE MUSICAL
Book by Heather Hach
Music & Lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin

Sorority sister and fashion merchandising major, Elle Woods appears to have it all, but her life is turned upside-down when her boyfriend dumps her so he can start getting serious about his life and attend Harvard Law. Determined to win him back, Elle studies hard and uses her charm to get into Harvard Law, too. Once there, she struggles with her peers and professors as she strives to get her man, but in the process, Elle begins to realize her potential and sets out to prove herself to the world. An award-winning musical, LEGALLY BLONDE, THE MUSICAL follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes, snobbery, and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. Both hilarious and heart-warming, this musical is so much fun it should be illegal!
