Self-Discovery and Empowerment: “Legally Blonde” at Mount Madonna School
Edgy, ironic and bitingly funny, Legally Blonde also contains a message of empowerment and self-discovery, and believing in one’s own capabilities whether you’re woman or man, blonde or some other hair color. This upbeat musical is infused with contemporary music in various styles, including ballad, reggae, snappy funk and big Broadway-like ‘show-stoppers.’
Tickets for Legally Blonde are on sale now and can be purchased through Thursday, January 23, in the school office or by calling 408-847-2717. After that, tickets will be available at the door.
Tickets are $10 for students 18 years and under, and $15 for adults. MMS alumni are $10 on Friday and Saturday.
Tickets may be purchased by check or cash; or with a credit card for orders of $25 or more.

Cast of Legally Blonde
Congratulations on your casting!
You will notice that on the list there are general terms such as Harvard Student, Marching Band, Delta Nu or Frat Pack. Those terms and in fact, the list itself does not necessarily reveal everything you’ll be doing in the play. Once we’re together, you will hear more of the specific scenes, songs, and dances that you’ll be in. Remember, the script will change some- avoid highlighting lines just yet. Songs and line assignments may be altered. Mainly now, trust the process; be kind to your fellow students, remain open to opportunity and direction, and let us work and play hard as a united theatrical community to bring this energized show to life!

Aladdin Cast List
Congratulations on your casting!
You will notice on cast the list there are simply titles along with exotic Arabic names next to your names. While it will be our job together to bring dynamic to those titles (and learn how to pronounce them together), the list does not necessarily reveal everything you’ll be doing in the play. Remember, the script will change some- avoid highlighting lines just yet. Songs and line assignments may be altered. Mainly now, trust the process; be kind to your fellow students, remain open to opportunity and direction, and let us work hard as a united theatrical community to bring Aladdin to life.
