Legally Blonde: The Musical

I'm sure that a lot of people watched the movies Legally Blonde 1 and 2. I recently came across The Musical taken from this movie, and I have to say it's amazing. It's basically the same story from the movie but the artist that plays Elle in the musical (Laura Bell Bundy) in my opinion gives a much better portrayal of the character than Reese Witherspoon (no offence to her though, amazing actress). I think it's because I can see more in Laura Bell's portrayal that her Elle can be the intelligent and successful lawyer that she becomes in the end. It also has to do with the fact that I have a soft spot for musical actors. I love Hollywood actors but I think that the musical actors are much more well rounded as artists, they're not just actors, they are singers and dancers. For some reason the ones who are most talented we barely ever see them on TV. For some reason they're not as interesting as Paris Hilton getting a DUI or Britney shaving her head. I don't want to bash Britney because I love her, but you get my point, right?

This musical is mostly amazing for its story, seeing a beautiful girl thinking that once she gets married to a rich man, than nothing else matters. But this man breaks her heart and instead of marrying her, he calls her dumb and dumps her for a more "serious" woman. Than Elle goes to Harvard, gets in and at first tries to win his heart, but it turns out that law is more interesting than this man, she works hard, and from a BA in fashion and merchandising she goes on to get a law degree and wins her first big case, and also gets a new man that appreciates her and saw beyond all the blonde he sees on the surface. She realizes that when you're attacked you have to respond and also that the man you want to spend the rest of your life with can't be a man that makes you feel like a dumb blonde, this man needs to be your equal, your partner.

Whats different between me and Ms.Elle woods is that I never believed that getting married was the ultimate goal. Not at all. I always believed that I will get married one day (hope so :P) but I always felt that I had other important things to do before I get to that. I think it's one of my milestones, which I will be happy to get to when it's time :) . Elle learnt this lesson by the end of this movie, she learnt that the popular guy or the hottest guy isn't necessarily the right guy.

No offence for those guys, but girls will ultimately want to be with the nice guy.
