REVIEW: ‘Legally Blonde: The Musical’ glitters with talent

Oh my god! Oh my god, you guys, “Legally Blonde: The Musical” has officially taken the stage at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. Elle Woods, played by Zionsville native Olivia Broadwater, was a shining pink star at the center of the production. A recent graduate of Ball State, Broadwater’s confidence through a series of snappy costume changes highlighted Woods’ character and her as a performer. Jacob Butler (Emmett) and Meagan Lewis-Michelson (Paulette) dazzled in their supportive roles. While the movie doesn’t get too much into their stories, the musical revealed their family history and how they found themselves in the life of Woods. Paulette’s story of her abusive ex and Emmett’s working-class background tugged at the heartstrings of the audience and created a tender moment in the otherwise flashy show. Griffin Cole, who played Warner Huntington III, and Dani Kucera, who played Vivienne Kensington, embodied the snotty attitude of the elites they hoped to be. Jeff Stockberger (Professor Callahan) immersed himself into the anger that Callahan is known for, creating a perfect foil to the brightness of Woods.
