The musical adaptation of Legally Blonde will be broadcast on MTV.
The network plans to air a performance of the show in October.

I heard it was actually really good AND it was nominated for some Tony's, so I'll be watching.

I am not in the target audience age range, but can I just say how excited I am to hear this news? I bought the soundtrack, and have been driving my fiancee up a wall listening to it! Yeah!

It's this Saturday at 1 p.m. on MTV. It's the first a show that's currently on Broadway is coming to TV. How neat.

So, I watched it, and I'm still mixed on it. I know musicals are cheesy, but this was WAAAAAY over the top for me. Plus, if you've never seen the movie (yes, I realize that probably includes about 2 people in America), it wouldn't make much sense. My power surged in the middle of Elle singing to Warner after he proposes at the end, and it made me mad, because that was actually shaping up to be a pretty redeeming song.
I bet Luke Wilson was cringing at how Emmet was portrayed!
I think my biggest problem was the casting. Every main character, I kept thinking that we've seen it before. The girl who played Elle reminded me of Kristin Chenoweth, the one that played Paulette reminded me of Carol Channing, the one who played Vivian reminded me of Megan Mulalaly (Karen on Will and Grace), and the one who played Emmet reminded me of Anthony Rapp.
Oh, and for GC - I saw a girl in the audience toward the end in a pink & purple Tri Sigma shirt.

I actually liked it. I bought the soundtrack (someone on here was talking about it) in July, and knew I would probably never get to NYC to see it. I wish there was more oppurtunities like this to watch the Broadway shows. Right now, I watch the traveling shows that come to Norfolk, the Tonys and Macy's Day parade to get my Broadway fix.

I DVR'd it yesterday and just watched it and loved it. I think it was different enough from the movie to make it seem like a new experience too. I'll even go so far as to say that I think if they made a movie of the musical version it would do very well. I mean, if you're looking to hate it from the start, you probably will, but I think it was done very well.
AlphaFrog -- I saw the Tri-Sigma shirt girl as well.

Oh, I forgot to say yesterday that I loved the "Greek" chorus.
I think if I saw it again, it would grow on me. The only thing I won't get over is the "Gay or European" song. It was dumb, and it felt too much like "hey, we haven't had a song in a little while, let's sing!". I have a feeling that later on down the road, if this show gets performed non-equity, that song will be cut. It doesn't advance the plot, it doesn't flesh out a character, it's really nothing but silliness. Much like "Who's Got the Pain" in Damn Yankees. I DID like that she exposed him as gay because the "bend & snap" didn't work.
