LEGALLY BLONDE - JULY 5 TO AUGUST 3 - CITADEL THEATRE

Get ready for a high-energy, heartwarming journey of self-discovery, determination, and breaking expectations. Based on the hit blockbuster, this feel-good musical follows Elle Woods, a fashionable sorority queen who surprises everyone by enrolling at Harvard Law to win back her ex. Along the way, Elle defies stereotypes, discovers her inner strength, and proves that staying true to yourself is the ultimate path to success.

Lisa Lipton | Chambers’ Ring
