It is safe to say that Legally Blonde: The Musical is one of my all-time favorite musicals. I saw the show several years ago in Tampa with my mom and sister and we laughed our way through the entire production.
Last night I saw the musical again at the Ocala Civic Theatre with my friends Brittney and Cara and the same thing happened. The show is so darn funny!
We met up around 7:15 p.m. to pick up our tickets and settle into our seats for the 7:30 p.m. show.
With a $5 discount thanks to a coupon, our tickets were only $13! Well worth it.
Perhaps my favorite part of last night’s show was completely unplanned. The dog playing the hairdresser Paulette’s dog, Rufus, was the most adorable bulldog. His mission in life was to have his belly scratched and he kept rolling over on stage in hopes of enticing one of the actors into giving him a belly rub. The audience could not stop laughing. He stole the show!
Of course the music was just as catchy as I remembered. (I even used a song from the musical on my half marathon playlist last fall! So fun!) Brittney and I had a hard time not singing every word!
Breakfast
Breakfast this morning was a hot plate of scrambled eggs with peppers, onions and Alouette original spreadable cheese stirred in for some added creaminess.
Perfect writing fuel!

Absolutely love your friend on the lefts dress and bag!!
oh my gosh, i complimented her dress over and over again, too. she actually owns her own boutique (http://www.shopacutabove.com/) and said the dress is in stock, so i may have to head over there at some point…
I hope it’s playing somewhere near me soon! It was showing in my hometown while I was away last year :/. Love you dress btw!
Legally Blonde is one of my favorite musicals too! “OMG, OMG you guys!” I love seeing musicals and concerts. I’m all about the music! 🙂
I love everyone’s outfits!
Ong that’s sounds so fun! I loveeee musicals and legally blonde as one sounds amazing! You and your friends are so pretty!
Comedy shows! We have some great stand up comedians in Ireland and nothing beats a live show!
Absolutely LOVE that chevron dress!
I have been wanting to see that play! I love seeing musicals they are just so fun!
Legally Blonde is one of my favorite movies. I could watch it over and over again. I’m dying to see this play someday soon! Glad you had fun. 🙂
I have always wanted to see the musical!! Envious! I sing their songs much too often…
LOVE musicals! We are going to NY this December and I cannot wait to go to Broadway.
I love me some musicals! Wicked is by far my favorite, but I have seen so many. Legally Blonde was fabulous too! Have you seen Mary Poppins? I thought it was going to be silly and childish, it was fabulous! Definitely one of my favorites! Concerts are great too, especially outdoors in the summer!

Dogs ALWAYS steal the show. I was in a show once where the dog used to howl with one of the songs, and it was hard to keep singing through the laughing.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the play Julie!! Legally Blonde is one of my faves too. I really like plays, as long as they’re in every-day English and not old Shakespearean English, which I can barely follow! Musicals are probably my favourites, with Grease, Annie, and Joseph & The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat being at the top of my list!
Love love love that show! Good idea about using some of the songs on a workout playlist – I’ll have to keep that in mind!!
I never think to add spreadable cheese to my eggs, but they always look so good!
Football games and rock concerts are definitely my live entertainment events of choice. I can’t wait for the NFL season to start so I have something to do with my Sunday afternoons!
I love Legally Blonde the movie, so I’m sure I’d love the musical version too! Sounds like a fun girls night!
I love your dress! where did you get it??
Thanks! It’s the same maxi dress I wore on Easter. Details here: https://www.pbfingers.com/2012/04/09/easter-dress/
Need Cara’s hot pink clutch.
I’ve seen Legally Blonde: The Musical twice now, and LOVED it each time. My favorite song–“Is He Gay or European?” So funny!
Legally Blonde is totally one of my favorite movies, and I bet the musical is hilarious! Ditto on everyone’s comments about your friend’s chevron dress. Gorg!
Oh my goodness, I bet the Bulldog was just adorable!! They are already so cute without trying but seeing him roll over waiting for a belly rub would be too cute & funny!!!
Your hair is looking SUPER blonde – how appropriate 😉 Does it get lighter in the summer? Mine does too, though I have a little help from the bottle heheh.
My favourite form of live entertainment is definitely concerts 🙂
it definitely lightens in the summer!
I love live music! Any kind of live music is great in my book! Would love to see Legally Blonde at the theatre, I watched the second movie the other day and fell in love with Reese Witherspoon all over again! That said, I’m off to see some Olympics this weekend, super excited about that!
Musicals are so fun! But I’m definitely a live music person but not like big venue, I prefer smaller, more intimate shows. Love live music!
so jealous!! i moved to NYC this summer and of course upon arrival i find out that the show has ended in the city! i really hope to see it one way or another. love elle woods!
Sports are definitely my all-time favorite form of live entertainment, but I also love going to musicals, I just don’t do it very often. One of my favorite musicals is “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” which I saw at a local theater a couple years ago. So funny!
I want to see that musical!
Looks like the show was great! I personally love live music and plays – they’re my fav.
I love concerts! I just went to the JLO and Enrique concert last night and it was a blast! I also love country music concerts and sporting events! But not baseball.
I love concerts, musicals and baseball games, but concerts are probably my favorite. My favorite concerts I’ve been to are Paul McCartney – I’ve seen him 4 times & can’t wait for another! 🙂
Never see a live musical, sounds like fun!
I also love that musical…my Dad and I saw it together on Broadway 4 years ago (I let HIM choose what we were going to see…haha) and it was incredible. I saw it again a year later in LA …it wasn’t as good as the original version but I still sang along.
My favorite song is by far “Whipped into Shape.” It was on my running playlist for awhile!
I love live theater! Always an entertaining time. I have never seen that musical. I will have to keep an ear open for it!
My aunt took me to see Legally Blonde a few years ago and I seriously loved it!! Those upbeat songs get stuck in your head and I think I might follow your lead and put them on my running playlist 🙂
I would have to say musicals.. they’re always so talented!
Oh man, sports or musicals…I don’t know if I could pick. I like them both for different occasions, I guess. Although musicals generally don’t make me feel like I took 5 years off my life from undue stress…haha.
I totally heart your dress and necklace combo. I hope you add it to the fashion page!
I love musicals they are so much fun!
I’ve seen Hairspray and Rock of Ages, which were both really good. I want to see some more though.
And I really love watching ballet, its something I can’t get enough of watching. Not too sure why, since I only took ballet up until I was 13, but I just love their elegance and grace on stage.
I love that musical too! It’s super cute! I love love love musicals, as I did them all through high school and that left a special place in my heart for singing and dancing and performing ridiculous things on stage.
I saw Legally Blonde at a local theater earlier this year and LOVED it! But my favorite musical ever (okay, I’ve only seen a few) is Mamma Mia!!! I LOVE it and ABBA (the band that wrote the songs)
What a fun girls’ night! I really want to see Legally Blonde, and, I’m sorry to admit, Bring It On: The Musical. My favorite live entertainment is a solid improv comedy show. I’ve only seen a few, but anything that can make me laugh that hard is a sure winner!
I love going out to see live music!
Omigosh how fun that Legally Blonde was in town! I saw it in LA and absolutely loved it and then had tickets for it when it was here in the Bay area but was horribly sick and couldn’t go 🙁 You girls look so cute though and I’m kind of obsessed with your friend’s Chevron print dress! I love all musicals but Wicked, Billy Elliot and Chorus Line are all probably at the top of my list!
Pretty much any sort of theatre, I’m happy. I was a drama nerd in high school, clearly.
I do have a special place in my heart for musicals – the fact that I haven’t seen Legally Blonde OR Wicked yet breaks my heart – I need to look for those to come near me!
I was driving home from the gym this morning and singing along with my “Rocky Horror Show” soundtrack. I saw it in Toronto a few years ago and it was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. 🙂
I saw Legally Blonde in London in January. So good!
I love concerts. Seen so many great bands live– makes me love ’em even more.
LOVE your dress, that color is so pretty – you make me realize that I need to go TJMaxx/Marshalls shopping more often!
I need to see legally blonde…Fiddler on the Roof is definitely my favorite musical, so so good!
I have the hardest time not singing along when I go see a musical. The Lion King was absolutely stunning to see in the theater. They really did a great job in creating that musical.
I’ve seen Legally Blonde in Pittsburgh, it is hilarious! I don’t think I stopped laughing the entire time!
I just saw it last week in PA 🙂 I saw it in NY when Laura Bell Bundy was still playing Elle and her voice was just as good as the soundtrack.
Aw… Rufus might have just been overheated… dogs roll over when they want to cool down as well. Airs out their undercarriage! haha
