Legally Blonde perform Bend and Snap | West End LIVE 2022

why is Elle in a janitor's jumpsuit tho

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

i absolutley adore this paulette holy shit

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.

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

Seeing it tomorrow and I'm VERY excited!!

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)

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 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

I'm obsessed with Grace Mouat in this!

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

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

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

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.

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

But... but that's not the Bend and Snap.

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