Director's Note
On the surface Legally Blonde The Musical Jr is a fun, energetic, and light hearted story about a girl who makes something more out herself than she at first thought possible. While all this is accurate, let’s not forget what our last show, Shrek The Musical Jr taught us: Never judge something by its initial appearance. When we dig deeper into Legally Blonde we find so much more than just the bright, exciting, fast paced music. We find a call for social progression. We find what drives us most. We find love, for one’s self and others. We find a message of never letting anyone tell us where we belong or what our limitations are. We find heart.
This play is bursting with so much heart and that to me is what made it so interesting to direct. We are telling a humanistic story of a young woman who finds her true strength by ignoring what people tell her she cannot achieve. Elle Woods changes the world around her as she embarks on this journey. This musical challenges us as an audience to dream and to be the change we wish to see.
Elle’s story is similar to many men and women who have faced adversity in their lives. She shows us to go our own way, stand tall, and that often times, the solution to a problem is already within ourselves. Legally Blonde shares messages for men and women, children and adults. It is a story worth sharing while being a very fun ride! It was an absolute pleasure to lead this cast through our own journey of putting on Legally Blonde Jr. I would like to thank the family and friends of all of our hardworking, dedicated, and wonderful cast members for supporting the arts. This is an extremely challenging show and I would also like to congratulate all our actors for accepting that feat with grace and putting everything they’ve got into it. Thank you all greatly for coming out and please enjoy the show!
Always,
Jonathan James Hansen
