Amber is the perfect fit for this role, and our audiences are in for a treat with this fantastic production.”
Based on the award-winning film starring Reese Witherspoon, Legally Blonde the Musical follows Elle Woods on her transformation from It Girl fashionista to legal ace at Harvard Law School, all in the name of love.
