Burlington Educational Summer Theatre goes Ivy League in this summer’s
presentation of Legally Blonde the Musical JR, on July 27 at 7:30 and
July 28 at 2:00 pm. Performances will take place in the Fogelberg Performing
Arts Center of Burlington High School.
Based on the award-winning Broadway musical and the smash hit motion
picture, Legally Blonde, The Musical, JR. follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes,
snobbery and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. When Elle's boyfriend, Warner,
dumps her and heads to Harvard, claiming she's not "serious" enough,
Elle takes matters into her own hands, crafting a showy song-and-dance personal
essay and charming her way into law school. Befriending classmate, Emmett, and
spunky hairdresser, Paulette, along the way, Elle finds that books and looks
aren't mutually exclusive. As Elle begins outsmarting her peers, she
realizes that law may be her natural calling after all.
