A Girl, A Role, And A Bit Of Irony

With some things you just have to say, maybe it was meant to be.

When Alli Kramer was going to audition for Elle Woods, for Amity's production of "Legally Blonde, the Musical," she knew that she was at a disadvantage, being the only brunette out of 5 blondes.  

Alli's dad, Richard and salon owner Richard Penna encouraged her to start highlighting her hair to get into character.

Alli underwent and is still undergoing highlighting to get her hair to a point where they can just dye her whole head.

Her highlighting is done separately by Billy, at Richard Penna Salon in Hamden.

The twist here is that on the first night of auditions, Alli had her hair blown out at in Orange.  The name of the girl who blew out her hair is Elle. Coincidence?  You decide.
