Opening night was April 29, 2007. According to Playbill Vault, there was 595 performances of the musical, Legally Blonde (Playbill Vault). In 1913, producers Martin Beck, B.F. Keith, and E.F. Albee opened up the Palace Theatre. The venue suffered from the Depression Era and then because a movie house. The venue was purchased by the Nederlanders in 1966 and the Palace renovated and restored. The main characters in this musical are Elle Woods, Emmett, Warner, Callahan, Paulette, Vivienne, and Brooke. The musical was a smashing hit with the actors portraying these roles. I found my information on Playbill Vault and the book, American Musical Theatre. I learned that the Palace Theatre has also been a movie house. I found this very interesting in the fact that the theatre first started going downhill during the depression, but with new renovations and owners, they were able to build the place back up and return to its original use, for plays. I would’ve thought that a theatre would’ve stayed the same since movies are so common these days so it was nice to know that the arts are still alive, especially on

Ed Boyer and Deke Sharon are well-known arrangers of a cappella music and served as musical directors for "Pitch Perfect." Musical choreographer Aakoman Jones also sets the tone for this musical as exquisite hyperbole that is too emotionally pure to become camp.
The play consisted of five characters: Marty, James, Schultz, Theresa, and Lauren. Marty and James are a couple; they knew each other through a wedding, Theresa is a former actress who ran away from the competitive New York, Schultz is an awkward carpenter who just got divorced, and Lauren is a sixteen year old girl who dreamed of becoming an actress. Marty who is the teacher started the class, but the students participated in the class’s activities

I have listened to the cast albums for both the movie and the Broadway production, and many songs from the Broadway production were taken out of the movie. Some lines were not even taken out, but were spoken instead of sung. Personally, I think that when these line are sung rather than spoken, they evoke more emotional reactions in the audience. In the movie version, there are also some characters that do not appear in the original Broadway version. An example of this is seen through Roger’s backstory with April, his dead girlfriend - the movie shows Roger and April together, whereas in the Broadway version, she is only
This musical opened at St. James Theatre on March 31, 1943 and ran for 2,212 performances. It was directed by Rouben Mamoulain and choreographed by Agnes de Mille. Oklalahoma! became so popular that it was decided to make it into a movie. The movie would be pretty similar, including some of the musical’s famous songs, such as “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,” “The Surrey With the Fringe on Top,” “People Will Say We’re In Love,” and “Oklahoma.”
Legally Blonde is arguably the most feminist icon in this century. The film is filled with feminist ideas beyond its time. Elle Woods, the main character is the president of Delta Nu at California University Los Angeles. She is a happy, go lucky, bleach blonde Barbie girl who is as powerful as she is beautiful. With her pink high heels and her Clinique “happy” perfume, she sounds like your typical 2000’s sorority woman, but she is anything but that. This film uses Elle to show the trials and tribulations that women go through every single day. Elle deals with those issues unapologetically with femininity and quick wit. This timeless film is a perfect example of a feminist work due to its feminist ideas, suffragette views and it's breaking of stereotypes.

Technology affects almost all aspects of society today. Family life, medicine, business, telecommunications, and social life have all been changed for both good and bad. Interesting me in particular, technology (mainly computers) has influenced the criminal justice/law enforcement field. That is my chosen profession that I hope to accomplish.
