Zakrin, the youngest contestant on the reality show, will understudy the tour's Elle Woods, Becky Gulsvig, and will also be a member of the ensemble. And, Hansen will play the role of Margot, Elle's best friend, on tour.

Well I for one am glad that they all got a role somehow. Getting the "foot in the door" is always the hardest part.
That's awesome that Autumn will understudy, which means at some point she will get to do the role on Broadway (I say that because in reality Bailey, being human, will get sick or lose her voice, hence understudy comes in). I wonder if shows have ever had to use an understudy for an understudy? Sorry pardon my crazy thoughts. LOL.
I wanted Autumn to win, but I was honestly thrilled that it was between her and Bailey. I had liked Bailey from the beginning. I really just didn't want Rhiannon. Something about Rhiannon's voice just bothered me.
