I know this isn’t dirt but I had to share these crazy pictures!  If you blow them up you can actually see smoke where the lightning struck the buildings.  That’s the Empire State Building… they are doing $100 million of work to it… we walked by it this weekend when we were there to see Legally Blonde – The Musical… which was hilarious and awesome by the way… The understudy was playing Elle Woods, but she was great – looked and sounded JUST LIKE Reese Witherspoon!  I love going to Broadway!!

Have you ever wondered what it takes to see your name up on the marquee of one of Broadway’s biggest hits? Well, Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods shows you all the hard work, dedication and determination that’s needed to become a leading lady in a mega-musical.

After a nationwide casting call, thousands of girls auditioned for the chance to become Elle Woods. Now that the intensive search is over, 10 girls with larger-than-life dreams are going to be given the opportunity of a lifetime — a shot at the starring role in the Broadway musical Legally Blonde. But only one of them will take center stage when the lights go up.

Filmed in New York City, the search will pull back the curtain on the audition process and show you exactly what it takes to become a Broadway star. The 10 lucky finalists will live together in a NYC loft while working their butts off with some of Broadway’s biggest names, including choreographer Denis Jones, vocal coach Seth Rudetsky and some of the cast members of Legally Blonde.  Plus, they’ll be mentored by singer/actress Haylie Duff, who had her own starring role in the Broadway musical, Hairspray.

It’s going to take a lot of hard work, dedication and determination to be the next blonde on Broadway, and the competing girls will be given a crash course in singing, dancing and acting. Each week, the Elle Woods wannabes will step onstage in front of a panel of judges that includes: Broadway actor Paul Canaan, casting director Bernard Telsey and Legally Blonde: The Musical writer Heather Hach. They’ll critique the girls’ performances, and each week someone’s dreams of becoming a Broadway star will come crashing down. When it’s down to the final two, Tony Award winning director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell will help determine who’s got what it takes to be the next Elle Woods. The last girl standing will land the starring role in the blockbuster Broadway musical!
