Menlo School Drama presents “Legally Blonde”
Menlo Upper School Drama presents “Legally Blonde: The Musical” for its spring production at the Spieker Performing Arts Center, 50 Valparaiso Avenue in Atherton, from May 1 to 3. The production marks Menlo Drama’s first musical with its new director Mark Schneider.
The show, based on the film and novel by Amanda Brown, follows protagonist Elle Woods’ journey through Harvard Law School. The musical will feature a total of 52 students, dance numbers and themes of perseverance, identity and breaking stereotypes.
“Elle’s journey is about much more than proving someone wrong,” said Schneider in a press release. “It’s about discovering that your individuality is your greatest strength. Our students have embraced the show’s energy, humor, and heart in truly inspiring ways.”
