Catch a play tonight (or tomorrow) at BFHS
Legally Blonde presented by Performing Arts Department
Bonners Ferry high school students will have the whole town thinking pink when they present their two final performances of Legally Blonde beginning tonight, February 6. This fun and upbeat musical follows the adventures of a sorority girl named Elle Woods – a Gemini with a double Capricorn moon – who tries to win her ex-boyfriend back by earning a Harvard law degree.
Delta Nu sorority president Elle Woods seems to have it all: good looks, a relationship with the “campus catch,” and great taste in clothes. However her life is turned upside-down when her boyfriend, Warner, dumps her in an attempt to start getting “serious” about his future and attend Harvard Law. Determined to win him back, Elle uses a lot of hard work and some charm to get into Harvard Law so she can prove to Warner that she’s serious enough for him. Once at school, she is challenged by her peers, professors and her ex, but with the help of some new friends, Elle realizes her potential and sets out to prove herself to the world.
With a book by Heather Hach, music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin, Legally Blonde JR. is based on the book by Amanda Brown and the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer motion picture starring Reese Witherspoon, which was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture: Musical or Comedy. Legally Blonde the Musical opened at Broadway’s Palace Theatre in April 2007, starring Laura Bell Bundy as the iconic Elle Woods.
Legally Blonde JR. is presented in Bonners Ferry through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
There are two final performances scheduled Friday, February 6 and Saturday, February 7. Both performances are at 7:00 p.m. at the Bonners Ferry High School Becker Auditorium. Tickets will be available at the door, which open at 6:30 p.m. Prices are $8 for adults and $5 for students/seniors. Children three and under are free.
