Sorority girl Elle Woods doesn't take no for an answer. So when her boyfriend dumps her for someone serious, Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. She hopes to win back her ex-boyfriend and along the way, she discovers how her knowledge of the law can help others. She defends exercise queen Brooke Wyndam in a murder trial and proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style! This show is an energetic funfest with contagious music and a girl in pink that leaves a smile on your face. Charleston Light Opera Guild previously presented Legally Blonde during the summer of 2012.
