This CD is an original recording of the Broadway musical. It`s funny and cheesy, I`ve seen the show on Broadway and on MTV, the soundtrack unfortunately doesn`t relate very well to the first one. Some songs are worth listening to and singing. However, I bought the CD more because I am a theater lover and a fan of some of the artists in the production, if not for their performances, I regret to have to say that otherwise I probably would not buy this product. I`ve never seen the movie, except for a very, very small part of it. I`m a guy. It was just another chick movie for me. When I heard it would take place on Broadway, I expected it to be just a terrible product of the mass music movement based on cinema. But the New York Times review made me curious. I managed to see it to the end thanks to the MTV shows of Bend and Snap. Finally, I decided to watch the soundtrack. I`m so glad I did. The music is really good and the songs help you follow the plot, although there are times when you have to check the summary to see what happened between songs.
The cast does a great job with each song. While most songs make you feel like you`re on a sugar rush, there are a few pauses in positive energy songs to go into sad moments. My personal favorites include Serious, Chip on my Shoulder, Take it Like a Man, and Legal Blonde. While most of the others are good, the only two that don`t really interest me are The Harvard Variations and Blood in the Water. Although I still think the plot is pretty silly, I would still love to see this series and would highly recommend this soundtrack. Although you might want to try some samples of the songs through something like Amazon.com before buying this just to be sure. But don`t judge this CD as bad just because it doesn`t look like it`s going to make a good Broadway show. That`s what I did at first, but when I gave him a chance, I was pleasantly surprised by what was really here. Please say whether this review is useful or not. It`s just a click away. I`m a fan of the original film, so I was excited to hear that L.B.
had been adapted into a musical. It has a talented cast that does a great job. The music tells the story well and you can follow the story even if you haven`t seen the show or movie. That`s important for a Broadway musical. Most of the songs are good, but not great. It`s a sweet and fun wellness show! No track listing available 1. Omigod you guys – 2. Seriously: 3.

Find My Way / Finale – Laura Bell Bundy LEGAL BLONDE, the musical, was created by a roster of Broadway`s top-notch talent, including Tony Award-winning director/choreographer Jerry Mitchell; composer and lyricist Laurence O`Keefe and Nel Benjamin; Author heather Hach; and set designer David Rockwell. OMG, you guys! My daughter and I watched Legally Blonde on Broadway and loved it! We didn`t get the CD at the theater, and then we later regretted not having the songs. eBay to the rescue, for much less! The plot follows the film; The catchy music and relevant lyrics added to each scene make it “even funnier!” If you`re listening to this CD, you can`t help but smile – it doesn`t matter if you`ve seen the musical or not. These songs can stand on their own, and in no time you`ll be showering, tapping, bending, and snapping, not caring if people in the next car see me. There`s obviously a “cute” factor to the job, but it only adds to the overall experience. It`s legally blond, not Shakepeare! Thank you Elle and her friends! It`s a great soundtrack, it`s fun, and it`s fun to listen to the best songs from this soundtrack.
If you haven`t heard this soundtrack yet, I recommend you do Like Wicked, this show is a girl-friendly extravaganza; The main difference – and this is a big difference – is that Legal Blonde`s score is better. Based on Reese Witherspoon`s hit film, the animated and frothy show tells the story of SoCal, Rose`s sister-loving Elle Woods, who enrolls at Harvard Law and proves that appearances can be deceiving. The opening number “Omigod You Guys” gives an idea of what Laurence O`Keefe`s (Bat Boy – The Musical) and Nell Benjamin does, embracing their exaggerated cheers with silly contagious energy. Sure, a few numbers seem a bit derivative (the witches` show has “Popular”, this one has “Positive”), and the Celtic detour (“Ireland”) is quite enigmatic, but overall, the songs shoot at all cylinders. For example, look at the use of a brass band on “What You Want.” Laura Bell Bundy (Amber by Tussle in Hairspray) is a charming Elle, and she delivers numbers like “So Much Better” with the necessary momentum. But it`s not a one-woman show, and Bundy is surrounded by a crack team, including the adorable Christian Borle as Elle`s lover Emmett, the duped Orfeh as hairdresser Paulette and the promising Leslie Kritzer as Serena from Delta Nu. –Elisabeth Vincentelli.
