Omigod, omigod you guys!Sorority queen Elle Woods doesn’t
take no for an answer. So when her boyfriend, Warner, dumps her for someone
‘serious’, Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books and heads where no
Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law!
With the help of her sorority sisters, everyone’s favourite beautician,
Paulette, and her Chihuahua, Bruiser,
Elle proves that being true to you never goes out of style.
FRC is excited to bring everyone’s favourite blonde
lawyer back to Calgary! With songs like "Omigod You Guys", "Gay
or European?" and "Bend and
Snap", Legally Blonde is an all-singing, all-dancing, feel-good musical
comedy that will be a highlight of your year! Join us as we take you from the
social whirl of Malibu to the hallowed halls of Harvard Law. The verdict? This much fun shouldn’t be
legal!
