(WAYNE, NJ) -- OMIGOD you guys! You totally can’t miss Aspire Performing Arts Company’s production of Legally Blonde the Musical, running February 25 through 27 at the Wayne YMCA in Wayne, NJ. Get your pink on and join Aspire PAC for this all singing, all dancing, feel-good musical comedy that is so much fun it shouldn't be legal!
This award-winning Broadway musical sensation is based on the hit movie of the same name and follows college sweetheart and homecoming queen Elle Woods (Elizabeth Grant) as she puts down the credit card, hits the books and heads for Harvard Law School in pursuit of her boyfriend Warner (Bobby Becht), who just dumped her for someone more serious. There she encounters Professor Callahan (Alex Nieves) and proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style. Legally Blonde the Musical will take you from the social whirl of California campus life to Harvard's halls of justice with our heroine Elle, Ireland-loving hairdresser Paulette (Elizabeth Pietrucha), and her “friend” Emmett (Charlie Valdez).
