Metro Theatre stages a high-energy Legally Blonde: The Musical, May 8 to June 7

Adaptation of the beloved film follows fashionable sorority president Elle Woods on her journey to law school

Metro Theatre presents Legally Blonde: The Musical, the stage adaptation of the beloved hit film, running May 8 through June 7. Directed by Christopher King, this high-energy musical production celebrates self-discovery, resilience, and the power of staying true to oneself.

When Elle Woods, a fashionable and charismatic sorority president, is unexpectedly dumped by her boyfriend Warner on the eve of graduation, she refuses to accept defeat. Determined to win him back, Elle follows him to Harvard Law School, chihuahua by her side. But what begins as a quest for love quickly becomes something bigger. Facing a world that underestimates her, Elle must decide whether to change herself to fit in—or embrace what makes her different.

Based on the beloved film, Legally Blonde: The Musical is set to an infectious pop score with dynamic choreography by Makayla Moore and music direction by Marquis Byrd.

Tickets and more details are available through Metro Theatre.
