Unlike “Men Are From Mars - Women Are From Venus”, “Girls Night: The Musical” is not for the faint at
heart. It reminds you a little bit like “Menopause
The Musical”, but with a lot of adult content and sexual innuendos. The music is wonderful and there were a lot of
women, in the audience, who were singing and dancing along to some of the
familiar tunes.
There is a storyline that is told by a lovely winged angel. Josephine Cooper (Sharon), Bethany Nicole Taylor (Anita),
Katie Campbell (Kate), Shelby Garrett
(Carol) and Sarah McShane (Lisa) not only sing, but dance and gyrate
around the stage to make for a flirty show.
The harmony that came from these five talented ladies is very
entertaining.
If you would like a cocktail to enjoy during the show, you may want to get to
the theatre a little early. This is NOT
a family show (there was a dad, mom and two children who left after the first
song). I was with a friend, yet would
have felt a little uncomfortable with my daughter or my mother. It’s a Night out with the Girls of your own
age.

America’s favorite blonde, Elle Woods, is ready to prove who’s in charge
(again) as Legally Blonde - The Musical comes to
Thrasher-Horne Center Tuesday, March 5th, 2019 at 7:30 pm in its National Tour.
The ultimate Broadway tribute to girl
power, Legally Blonde will
take you from the UCLA sorority house to the Harvard halls of justice with the
timely coming of age story of Broadway’s brightest heroine.
Based on the beloved movie, Legally
Blonde follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she
tackles stereotypes, sexism, snobbery and scandal in pursuit of her dreams, and
proves that you can be BOTH legally blonde AND the smartest person in the room.
Elle Woods appears to have it ALL. Her
life is turned upside down, however, when her boyfriend dumps her so he can
start getting more serious about his life and attend Harvard Law. Determined to get him back, Elle uses her
ingenuity and charm to get into Harvard too. School begins with endless
struggles, but with the help of her new friends, Elle quickly realizes her
potential, and her true assets, as she sets out to prove herself to the world
and make everyone a believer. This
contemporary, sassy musical moves at a breakneck pace driven by memorable songs
and explosive dances. Legally Blonde warms the heart by
proving that self-discovery never goes out of style!
The 2019 National Tour of Legally
Blonde is produced by Daniel Sher of Big League Productions, Inc. The musical is directed by Jeff Moss, with
choreography by Bob Richard. Set design is by Randel Wright, lighting by
