The MAC Players at the Middletown Arts Center presents "Legally Blonde the Musical"

originally published: 06/21/2024


(MIDDLETOWN, NJ) --  The MAC Players at the Middletown Arts Center presents Legally Blonde the Musical over two weekends, July 12–14 and July 19–21, 2024. This fabulously fun, award-winning musical follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. Music and lyrics by Laurence O'keefe and Nell Benjamin; book by Heather Hach; and based on the novel by Amanda Brown and the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer motion picture, Legally Blonde. Action-packed and exploding with memorable songs and dynamic dances – this musical is so much fun, it should be illegal! 

Elle Woods appears to have it all. Her life is turned upside down when her boyfriend Warner dumps her so he can attend Harvard Law. Determined to get him back, Elle ingeniously charms her way into the prestigious law school. While there, she struggles with peers, professors and her ex. With the support of some new friends, though, Elle quickly realizes her potential and sets out to prove herself to the world.

This will be the eighth production of the Middletown Arts Center’s community theater group and will be led by Director Victoria Keiser with Musical Director Melanie Colby and Choreographer Samantha Amaral.
