Omigod, Omigod You Guys!

If you watched the MTV presentation this weekend of the bubbly musical comedy Legally Blonde - The Musical, then you probably have that perky opening number percolating through your brain as much as I do.

This perfectly endearing, pink-tinged stage adaptation of the popular Reese Witherspoon movie was a lot of fun, filled with peppy songs and energetic dances (courtesy director/choreographer Jerry Mitchell). I hope this risky endeavor (airing a full-length, complete musical production for free on television while the show is still running on Broadway) pays off at the box office, as this is definitely something I would like to see happen again in the future (Xanadu, perhaps? Or maybe Wicked?). I know when this Blonde goes on tour, I will be more likely now to go and see it, and the cast album has jumped to the top of my must have list for sure. (And you can buy it right here, right nowfrom Amazon.com.)

One thing is certain: Laura Bell Bundy is a terrific performer. Tony Award-nominated for her performance as "Woods-comma-Elle", she is a star bursting to shine on the silver screen. Hey Hollywood, get this girl a movie musical, fast!
