Legally Blonde

             On the 26th October 2011, my Mum, Rose and I went to see Jerry Mitchel's Legally Blonde musical tour. It was in Manchester- the Manchester Opera house. The Theater itself was incredibly beautiful and antique and had recently been restored. We didn't have the best of seats but that couldn't be helped.

       My overall feeling of the show was very good. I hadn't seen anything much like it before and I loved the story line. The humour was well balanced with the drama and I loved the use of costume. The set was also especially clever and what with it being a reasonably new musical I was surprised with the number of songs I recognized. The musical numbers were incredible and being an instrumentalist, I had a special appreciation for their performance: which was very good. My favourite musical number was probably chip on my shoulder, below is a video of the song but i think that the version in the tour i went to see was much better but ya know... The only thing I think could be improved was the length. This isn't very easy to fix due to the fact it is a very precise, international musical but i do think  it seemed to pass especially quickly: this probably wasn't helped by the fact that i enjoyed it so much!

I would recommend it for most people, although i'm not sure some younger men would appreciate it due to the 'girly-ness' of it, for example I would not take my two older brothers (who are 18 and 20).

Until next time
