Legally Blonde perform Bend and Snap | West End LIVE 2022 

why is Elle in a janitor's jumpsuit tho

I think my problem with this production is that it doesn’t feel like legally blonde. Legally Blonde’s whole story is don’t judge a book by its cover, and the cast here is incredible, but something feels very off. The costumes are almost a weird space age style at times and the way it’s being performed is almost too big. Maybe it’s just me. I love the cast, I just feel like the direction attempt was to be hip and modern and it was a swing and a miss in terms of execution

The cast is amazing, but the costumes are way too loud and blend into the background of the scenery in the actual show. The accents definitely need work. But we in the US did butcher Kinky Boots lol, but idm the bend and snap change. It fits and everyone killed it.

This Paulette deserves a better production.

I love this production but the American accent discrepancy keeps getting me lmao... I have to actively ignore it (not that it makes any of the performers ANY LESS amazing or talented, it's just funny to be because historically British people have gotten mad at American attempts at British accents (esp if they're regional) but can't hear the differences in American accents by British actors :'D)

i absolutley adore this paulette holy shit

despite of the cast and the singing, this looks a mess visually

say it with me y’all theatre as medium requires subversion and change in order to remain artistically viable and that includes your favourite musical just because a person does not look like the obc of your favourite musical does not mean they were hired for diversity (this paulette was in the original london cast i think) POC ARE TALENTED AND GET JOBS ON THEIR OWN MERIT

First of all what a GORGEOUS Elle Woods, wow and what a clever idea to have her hair that way! I'd love to start seeing Asian and Latina and other versions of Elle too 🤗 Paulette is so dynamic and beautiful (love her piercing), the other dancers were really fun and unique too 💜 Also I think everyone's outfits are AMAZING! Very early 2000s where many wanted to dress like pop stars. Except...Elle? Idk I don't think hers translated properly (I know she's supposed to be conforming in navy blue, but it's just hard to see her against the background at times and a bit of white on the outfit would have really helped). Honestly, I think this is really a cute remake... I'd happily sit through this version, but I also play versions of this musical while I clean at least once a month, so Ive seen some actually mediocre performances and think these cast did great! I don't get all the hate and harsh criticism in the comments at all.

I just feel like if they can't find the right cast to do the American accents well enough, they shouldn't do those shows. And it's definitely... an interesting choice to turn the snap into a snap of the fingers. That said, their energy is very infectious and it's sung and danced superbly. There's just a bunch of artistic choices that take me out of it. I'm all for modernizing and reinventing, but only when done well. The spirit of the show seems lost.... I'm wondering if the scenes at Harvard are better. It seems to be more promising, at least from what I can see from the show trailer.

Did they just change the bend and snap? That's not even remotely the same move! Not sure if I like that..

Paulette is great-

whoever is the choreographer of this production needs a RAISE!!!

Everyone needs to know, there is no way this show is supposed to be done and you can’t compare a production that is so different to the original one. If you don’t like it that’s fine but it’s not fine to spread hate on the show, let people enjoy it

😢 why’s Elle in a prison outfit

This tempo is way way way too slow...

People saying the American accents are bad - honey, did you hear Sarah Paulson in Roanoke?

Wow they modernized it

My only real issue with this are the costumes. But this cast is so FUN!

I'm obsessed with Grace Mouat in this!

Seeing it tomorrow and I'm VERY excited!!

I absolutely ADORE this cast, i just want a word with the costume team because I'm sorry but what are tgese costumes 😭 like Serena is meant to be a cheerleader qnd she's dressed like that?! Not q big fan of the slow version eitger but eqch to their own. The cast themselves are incredible

Love Courtney Nadine and grace but think I would enjoy it even more if they had stuck with the original concept of legally blonde this just doesn’t have the same appeal as other productions have just my opinion

Holy cow! This cast!!!! Yessssssss! Love, love, love!!!! Six queens killed it!

That’s a new meaning to the Bend and Snap! Great performance! I love the finger snaps! 👱🏾‍♀️👩🏿‍🦱🦵🤌😍💖🧡👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Everyone who is commenting and complaining about this like what the hell is wrong with you they did amazing in this show

At first I was like hmm do I like it and then the dancing got me I'm like yaaaassssss!!!!!

watching this because of Grace

Is one of the three girls an ex six queen I swear?

I need a cast recording of the show. ASAP

I prefer the original legally blonde musical, still very good tho

This isn’t it bad casting and singing

I will never get over that I didn’t get to see this production legally blonde is one of if not my favourite musical and this just made me so happy the talent in the cast the vibes are immaculate personally I love the costuming
