Personally I would have picked Autumn bcuz she came second. And when Lauren goes up her high notes she sounds too childish. Her voice goes rlly high pitched. Yeah she’s good, but I would have picked sum1 else. Just my opinion
I always wondered who was the understudy for the original cast and wow! I love her delivery of the role. Feels like Reese on broadway. Amazing notes, fun acting. Glad I got to see her in this video! 1:18 Is there any reason she didn’t replace LBB when she left? I know the mtv show was on, so I’m assuming that impacted. But I’m curious why they went the TV show route over Haven landing the role.
I love what she did with the latter part of the note going higher! Not only does that take major talent, it sounds SO GOOD! Wish the real version did that
1:50 this is possibly the funniest delivery of this line I've heard, there's something about it that is absolutely hysterical compared to others, and I can't figure out why
holy mother of god?? i remember watching the search for elle woods when i was really little but i never actually looked up any of lauren’s performances until now and it’s even better than i thought it would be! i just met her recently too and she’s such a sweetheart
I think she is the best Elle. She wasn't trying to be laura, Bailey, Becky or Sheridan she was herself they even said In the search for Elle woods she bought so many different colours to the role which she did
Autumn would have actually been a great Vivienne. She carries the same smart sophisticated strength that Kate Shindle brought to the role. I like how they wrote the role in the musical over the Vivienne in the film.
2:30 Ok, I’ve watched Bailey, Lauren, and Laura’s performance and all of them do the choreography the same except for this part, Lauren and Laura does a spin on the word “twist” and Bailey just skips. 😐
Small thing but i love how they chose to have Warner start tapping her shoulder earlier so she could play with the emotion distracting her from Warner.
To be honest, she has improved so much from the competition but Bailey’s singing is definitely more advanced and in key. Lauren’s overall personality as Elle is a lot better than Bailey’s because from the competition Bailey seems to have changed a bit, probably because she was exhausted with the stress of being on Broadway! i definitely think that they both are good Elles but Bailey is just a bit more special for me!
Something I have always said was that while Autumn didn’t suit the role of Elle, she would have been a perfect Glinda. Autumn recently said in a zoom reunion of the “Legally Blonde: Search For Elle Woods” girls, that she unfortunately had to pass up an offer to star on Broadway because she was already contracted with Legally Blonde. Around this exact time, Bernie Telsey was casting a new Glinda for Wicked on Broadway. I really do think that Bernie likely offered Autumn Glinda, but because the MTV release of the show got pushed back, Autumn wouldn’t have been able to take the role in Wicked because it would have spoiled the finale of the MTV reality show.
