Casting Call for 'Legally Blonde'

An open casting call for "Legally Blonde the Musical" will be held Friday, Feb. 10 from 6 to 8 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 11 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The musical is based on a book by Heather Hach with music and lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin. It's based on the movie, "Legally Blonde," in which sorority star Elle Wood won't take "no" for an answer. So when her boyfriend dumps her for someone "serious," Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style.

Rehearsals will take place March 20 to May 17 and the performance will be stage May 18-20 and May 25-27.
