If you are (like me) a fan of drama, this show is the perfect bubbly treat.  Elle Woods, played by Nikki Bohne, lit up the stage, as the blonde sorority girl of Delta Nu who goes to Harvard Law to follow a boy she wants to marry. Along the way she turns her motivation towards getting a law degree rather than chasing after a boy, a positive message for girls if you ask me! 

Pink, being Elle’s signature color, pours throughout the stage from the wardrobe to the set.  The musical follows the movie Legally Blonde closely, adding in songs that make you want to dance and sing along like “Omigodyouguys,” “Positive,” and “Bend and Snap.”  (I would recommend going on YouTube and searching those songs to hear them for yourself.)

The cutest part of the show was the little dog Bruiser – a real dog that they had on stage.  By the end of the show (I don’t want to give anything away) I wanted to become a lawyer and felt that I could do anything if I had a “chip on my shoulder” just like Elle and Emmett Forrest, the older law student.

Elle Woods and the rest of the Delta Nu girls were the perfect escape from my school work.  I bought the soundtrack and have been listening to the songs every morning since – I can’t get enough! Can’t wait to check out PlayHouseSquare to see what other shows are coming up.

There’s nothing wrong with Ohio…I really like Drew Carrey and I’d love to see the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame” -Bowling for Soup

Well, we really don’t like Drew Carrey, but we did see the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland Ohio. For all of you rock n’ roll enthusiasts out there, this place is a must-see. Being that we were on a choir trip, we weren’t expecting much, but we were pleasantly surprised. Contrary to our fellow un-appreciative-21^st-century generation, we loved it! If you are a diehard rock n’ roll fan, this will only further your infatuation with the era. Even if your iPod is filled with Lady Gaga, it will give you a deeper appreciation of music as whole, as you view it from its roots.

There are a plethora of year-round and non-permanent exhibits; currently Bruce Springsteen resides in this spotlight. If The Boss isn’t your style, there are plenty of year-round attractions to occupy yourself. Our favorite part was the basement-level, where one can walk the history of rock n’ roll from its beginnings as blues and jazz to before its decay as boy bands took the scene. You can listen to the 500 greatest rock n’ roll songs of all-time, watch real footage from performances, and hear interviews regarding the impact of rock n’ roll on the youth of America which it affected. Also, a myriad of relics and paraphernalia such as clothes, instruments, hand-written lyrics, cars, and variety of performance video clips and pictures. There is something for everyone; Callie got excited over Kurt Cobain’s guitar while Alex was amazed by the hand-written Beatles lyrics. It strongly makes you appreciate the music and culture of the past decades; we surprisingly enjoyed Etta James and The Jimi Hendrix Experience as much as we enjoyed our personal favorites. In addition, you can watch short clips of all of the Rock n’ Roll inductees by year. It was a wonderful way to get an idea of all of the impactful musicians of the past.

Long story short, it rocked.
