Legally Blonde! (The Ballad from the Musical)

Thursday, July 10, 2008

Can I have a moment? A moment to just gush and love all over Legally Blonde the musical? Okay, I'm glad you're okay with that because here I go! Now, now, now, where to start?

This might be a touchy subject when speaking of blondes, but let's go straight to the roots of this whole production. Right back to Miss Laura Bell Bundy herself. This woman, is power house to say the very least. She brings a cute, sassy, sharp Elle Woods to the stage and a BIG-PINK-FABULOUS-SWEET girl off. (Please ignore the fact that I just yelled all those adjectives.) Anyways, Laura Bell Bundy is my new love of the stage; so I got to looking at some interviews with her and then I found some great videos of performances. And in case you're wondering... Yes! I have seen the full production of Legally Blonde, but if it's good once--er--- six times, it's good for one more round! So I looked up some videos of her performance; here are some you can't miss:

My All Time Favorite:
This is a performance in San Francisco where one of Laura Bell's shoes flies off into the audience. It flies off during "I have not begun to fight!" Great recovery, and she just nailed it. She was handed an opportunity where she could sink or float... but she worked it. And then the audience applauds! (I know I'm a sap... but I love an encouraging audience!) Laura Bell gives a whole new meaning to thinking on your feet on stage...



Interviews That You Can't Miss:
This is not the peppiest Laura Bell you'll see, but you can see how sweet and fun (and pink) she is in this interview.



A wonderful and very very pink interview in Laura Bell Bundy's dressing room! Super cute. I have no words. Just watch it.



Just... Just Watch It:
She is precious, I laughed at this for about 8 years, there are no words:



And this is just some promotional appearance, but so cute. This is a great video to watch to see what true stage presence is! Plus, I wanted to see how this song was performed with no set-- er, um, or a Warner... It's fabulous. "So Much Better", Have a look!



I will probably follow up this post with my newest take on the Legally Blonde; Search for Elle Woods on MTV. I don't want to give you a novel here... yet, at least.
