the only thing i dont rlly like about the revival is all the delta nu girls wearing pink. in the original they all had their own colors and personalities and now it just seems like they are all just bg girlies for elle
My biggest issue is how modern looking the show is. The fact that the girls are dancing in front of a ring light is too 2019 and beyond. The story takes place in the early 2000’s and i wish it was more like that.
I love how when Grace and Lauren started singing the crowd went insane love you queendom
And the always lovely Courtney B of course
It immediately strikes me as a very different kind of performance of Legally Blonde. I like the diversity of the cast. However, I am not as much of a fan of some of the performance choices. It feels to me like an aggressive take on the show. In the original production, Elle is a very pure and good character who pushes herself to excel while elevating everyone along the way. There were elements of this that didn't feel that way for me, for example, the shop scene, where the characters seemed catty more than anything else. The lead singer had a very good voice though, nice and clear on the high notes.
Love it love it love it and oh my goodness I could listen to Billy Luke Never’s voice all day! 😍❤️😍
he was my Emmett and literally was incredible
the only one that impressed me vocally is billy luke nevers he can sAANG sang the hell out of his line. brilliant
him and lauren are the only good parts about the show
@@izzyearnshaw9159 Courtney ?
I miss catching the clear dog training signals 🤣 otherwise, everyone slayed! The dog fursuit just threw me off.
the dog landing on a little mat and the hand movements to signal when it should bark, it was so cute 😭
@@xubs5919 as someone who dreamed of training dogs for movies, it made me smile 🥰
I love this so much! I love the fact that they have all genders (including non binary,) all body types and all races. One thing that I would possibly change is Margot’s Voice to a lower voice to fit his/her/their voice better!
the mics didn’t help to be fair, I saw them as Margot recently and she was absolutely amazing and fitted the role amazingly in my opinion
Agreed. Saw it in previews and hoped it would have gotten a little better by now. It's clear they just can't sing that high, and that's okay! They should have played another role as acting-wise I really liked Isaac.
Agree i am so for completely inclusive casting but vocal range shoudl be taken into account
Alternatively they could have cast one of the thousands of actors looking for work, who had the range to sing the part in tune?
Agreed, considering Margot probably sings high the most, I wish they'd cast Isaac as one of the other Greeks, or they'd somehow lowered it for them.
omg they all smashed it but billy luke nevers ATE in this, what a king
I loved this! Its so original! I never thought about Laura Bell Bundy or Sheridan Smith once watching this! Courtney Bowman makes this her own!! The dog suit was my only "umm okay" moment throughout the whole thing. Everything else was so fun!!
are u joking it was shit
Agree. It’s slightly different but super original.
I'm so glad it wasn't just me! freaked me the fuck out when he came out! everyone cheered and I'm like "why is that man dressed as a dog in bondage" 😂
@@TheClobo2001 the dog costume gave me nightmares.
When I saw the dog suit the first time I thought they were making a meme of the Cats 2020 movie.
First Anne Boleyn now Elle Woods. Courtney Bowman has quite the acting chops to play both. Also shout out to Grace Mouat as well. (Honorable mention Lauren Drew who's in the cast too but wasn't part of the performance)
Lauren Drew is in this :)
@@abbiecarter94 I though she was Brooke Windom? That character usually isn't in Omigod you guys
@@AtsumuMiya123 She doubles up as ensemble in Act 1 because Brooke doesn't appear until Act 2
@@professorwright1428 OH, I didn't know that. Thank you for informing me. Also I love the Ace Attorney reference in your screen name.
This performance is fantastic!!! Really wish I could see it. Courtney is like a PERFECT Elle Woods. Also, all the Delta Nu girls are fabulous. And Billy Luke Evers is everything. I never knew the shop keeper was a role I needed to play until this lol. Also, the human gay Bruiser is HILARIOUS!!
Courtney sounds amazing of course!!
can we appreciate the costume design??? everyone looks INCREDIBLE
at 6:11 i'm pretty sure courtney was inspired by Autumn's opt up at that part. I know she's a big fan of the mtv reality series, and what great way to honor that.
wait is the idea that they're filming a tiktok or facetiming Elle? because either way it makes no sense
if it's a dancing tiktok why would they be talking about/to Elle
and if it's FaceTime why would they be dancing 😭
It’s a TikTok at the beginning in the show you can hear the three beeps before the music start
I think this is supposed to be a TikTok for Elle
She is the dream of Elle Woods!!! Her voice is incredible, sturdy, strong and full of characters. The last high note was so clear and satisfying. The best Elle Woods ever! Love her, love her!!! And love all the drags and transgender characters as well! Please have a UK tour to Canterbury 🙏🙏🙏
I loved this show so much when I saw it last month!!🤩🤩
This is cool but something about the timing is off... it feels more like they're rushing through their lines as fast possible rather than reacting to orher characters. Like at the half loop pucker scene it feels like Elle already knew what the clerk would say. Idk just comes off as unnatural to me.
So there are 3 SIX QUEENS in Legally Blonde!?!?? 💜💜💜💜
Hahahah yep it’s also directed by Lucy Moss 🤣
@@bridgethealey729 OH MY WHAT?! Thanks for letting me know! That’s wonderful!
This performance certainly didn't inspire me to book tickets. Don't get me wrong, there were some stellar vocals from a few cast members, it just feels... meh.
Agree, I saw the show many years ago at The Savoy and this just didn't seem anywhere near as good.
@@TheJmoreas someone who has seen it live I'd advise you didn't judge it from this video, see the real thing
This is not good!
I think the audio is terrible, even the music doesn't sound good at times... this deffo doesn't help.. but the cast isn't to be blamed
@@Amy-zq5kn I won't be able to see it live, to me it looked too different to the Savoy production. Also the whole human being the dog thing is really weird.
So sad I missed this cuz the queuing to get in took so long but I guess that gives me even more reason to go see the actual show, Courtney is amazing
well you better get there fast, it closes on Saturday 😔
lauren strutting around the stage>>>
Felt like a school production anything and anyone will do not the best production i've seen but each to their own shame my 3rd fave musical too.
This was SO FREAKIN CUTE! It totally goes with the aesthetic of today’s society with the bubbly energy that the OG encapsulates. 💕
I was so excited for this but the costumes and the dog just really put me off. It feels really cheap which is just such a shame.
i love how they modernized the steps and scenes!! amazing!
When we say we wanna see diversity... we mean we wanna see people who actually fit roles regardless of race, weight, and gender and not just any old person who let's producers tick a box
And that’s what is so great about this show! The diversity is so vast and beautiful.
@@Russcob1805 right I'm not arguing there, what I'm saying is that some of these actors are not right for the role eg: voice type and dancing ability
@@starborn2761 imo the only actor who feels a bit out of place is margot . but thats because the key seems a bit too high for their range so its not even their fault .
Couldn't have say better
Legally BLONDE it's too much in one show. School production is closest. Joke.
Lauren freaking drew ily
So…no one’s gonna mention Bruiser is a human? That’s ok…it’s kinda the best part tho LOL
Grace KILLLLED it
So many SIX actors!!!!!!!
Isaac can’t sing this score
I just.... all this effort to modernize it but it seems like next to nothing was done with the orchestration.
I loved every single Minute!
I really want to see this but I won't get to, but...
Just amazing!!
Saw this on opening night and Billie Nevers and the Paulette stole the show. Wasn't a fan of the opening number.
yesterday I did Legally Blonde in my academy❤️🇦🇷🛐
i've not seen this show at regents park do they always have a person dressed as a dog rather than an actual dog/toy? it's creepy!
It actually adds to the comedy! I loved it :)
frr
I can’t tell you how perfect Courtney is as Elle.
What happened to british theatre
The one and only reason I refuse to see this is the fact they have a human playing the dogs it just makes it a joke 🤦🏽
I thought I'd hate it, but it was actually really funny and made sense - the theatre isn't appropriate for having actual dogs (no wings so no place for the dogs to run on from) so this was a funny and camp way around that problem!
@@LolaGabriella I just feel like they have turned it into a bit of a joke I loved the original and Courtney as Elle is amazing but some of the changes just seem a bit too OTT
Grace Mouat!!!!!!!!!!!
I love so much this musical but The original si The original but This was so amazing
This makes me want to fly to London just to see this production
Is this their full performance? I saw on other cast members backstage on social media, was presuming they'd also do Bend and Snap or something?
SAME!
i was there and they did do bend and snap
I just go to 3:33 to see Courtney. I love her in this role 😍
Makes that crap kids version dubbed ‘illegally blonde’ look brilliant
I prefer the original but this is cool too
Sorry but the tiktok thing was not it. It is one of the better ones of the tiktok inspo tho.
Love legally blonde and the cast is good. I think the week voculs is the mics problem
The queendom is representing
This is not good at all. They’re screaming, shouting and the first person just cannot sing.
I think he/she/they struggle to sing the female key
their mic was not taped to her cheek, it was halfway down their neck so ofc it would sound funny. it’s west end live, obviously there’s going to be a lot of flaws. stop judging the actors before actually seeing the show itself
@@tomwilliams8011 I’ve seen the show nothing to do with the mics
I’ve seen the show and thought they sounded really great there.. really stood out too me🤍 just being in the WEL audience you could tell their mic was not working properly x
@@hubert6260 yeah they should have lowered the score
The costumes are beautiful, very modern, some of the singing is Very off. but looks a very good production.
This is OMIGOD
I adore how inclusive this production is.
Bruiser???? Looks like cats musical😂😂😂😂
Bruiser!!!! 😂😂😂😂❤
exhibit a that diverse casting =/= good casting. a real shame because revivals like this will be used to justify non-diverse casting in the future.
this seriously has to be a joke
Y’all killed it
The choreo!
In the legally blonde omg
This is really disappointing-
0:35 who is she I love her singing voice🥹💝
I am so confused by this and the man at the beginning sounded awful 🫣😳
They’re non binary! But honestly this doesn’t do the show justice, I saw it and it’s so incredible
they are good singers but this production is meh. sorry.
NO NOT BRUISER
Whoever did this needs a raise... NOW!!!!
She's really giving Laura Bell Bundy 😍 she's perfect!! 💓💓
Courtney bowman from six 😊
That quick change!!
you mean when she took her coat off?
@@jonathanjmassey girl you did not 🤠
@@Jazzmine_Summers 😭😭😭😭
Yesssssss 😍😍😍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
OMG that was Legally Beautiful!
👱🏾♀️👛👙💄👄💋🐕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
"This production sucks" - says people who haven't actually seen it and just watched this video
I have seen it tho
But we have seen it? This video represents the show. WEL is an open air performance as is this production at the OAT. What about this is different?
I’ve also seen it. In my opinion it is not a good production.
I've seen the show... The video makes it look better! HOMOPHOBIC TRASH that appears to daily mail readers ideals.
They all sound terrible apart from Courtney
Are you deaf? Did you not hear Billy, Grace?
Billy and grace sound great to me aswell but they don’t really sing as much in this group. I don’t think this was the song to do at west end live. Should have gone with something more like so much better or legally blonde in my opinion, as Courtney has received a lot of hate for being mixed race and plus size, and I think that a song focused on her more would help to dispel the criticism
Woke the Musical
looks shit
It's 2022. Maybe you need to buy an alarm clock already. The anti-SJW days are over, you're all just really sad now.
i absolutely adore isaac hesketh
