A Fun Piece of Fluff,
By
This review is from: Legally Blonde: Musical (Audio CD)
If you liked the movie, you should like the show and music. It is as vacuous as the movie, but there are some redeeming features. There is a moral to the show, the music is fun and aimed at the 20 something crowd. A couple of the songs are really funny and some are pop-pablum, using lines like "Oh my God you guys..."Don't expect deep meaning and political messages in this piece of fluff, but it is a good laugh.

Light entertainment,
By Steven Valenti "svclue" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Legally Blonde: Musical (Audio CD)
The cast recording of "Legally Blonde" more or less matches the light and amiable tone of the Reese Witherspoon movie about a perky sorority girl's success at Harvard Law School. Nobody will mistake this for great art, but the score by Laurence O'Keefe ("Bat Boy," "La Cava") and Nell Benjamin gets the job done. What's questionable is whether the job needed to be done. The movie was enjoyable, but slight and predictable; the musical doesn't aspire to much more. Still, there are a few surprises in the score that keep it interesting. First, there are really no extractable "songs" here-- most of the numbers are structured as scenes, containing a mix of music and dialogue, often while juggling location changes and multiple characters. This works pretty well-- I could easily imagine a "Legally Blonde" musical that is just a slog of pop songs; there is some clever, even ambitious, writing here. Take for instance the best track, "What You Want," which details protagonist Elle Woods's entrance into Harvard. Skillfully paced over 8 minutes, the music is stylistically all over the place-- moving from pop to disco to reggae to marching band to power balladry, all while moving the action forward and managing to be funny. It's well done. And there are other numbers like it, and even a welcome foray into the bizarre by way of an unlikely homage to all things Irish ("Ireland"). All in all, this is an entertaining enough score, given the source material. Still: enough with stage adaptations of popular movies! The trend is getting old.

So Much Better Than Expected,
By AJK - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Legally Blonde: Musical (Audio CD)
This 2007 musical version of the Reese Witherspoon film is energetic, light-hearted & fun.While I enjoyed seeing the production (starring the terrific Laura Bell Bundy), the score seemed somewhat unmemorable - until I got the cd. Some of the songs work better on stage (ie. "Bend and Snap"), but after a few listens, several of the songs emerged as favorites: Omigod You Guys Ireland So Much Better Legally Blonde Legally Blonde Remix This is not meant to be a thought-provoking show - just one to smile. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

This review is from: Legally Blonde: Musical (Audio CD)
After seeing "Legally Blonde, the musical" during its run in San Francisco, I could not wait for the CD release. I'm happy to say that it did not disappoint! This CD did not leave my car stereo for 3 weeks! And it left only to be put into my boyfriend's car so we could listen to it on a road trip! I bought the soundtrack for a friend's birthday, and she became just as addicted to it as me...and every other friend I've shared the soundtrack with has loved it, as well! Fun, upbeat, great interpretation of the movie! Highly, highly recommend!!!
