MTV and Broadway are teaming up for Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search For Elle Woods starting next Monday at 10p.
Legally Blonde: The Musical is looking for the next Elle Woods and MTV is going to help them find their next leading lady. They auditioned 1,000 girls and narrowed it down to 10.
Filmed in New York City, the search will pull back the curtain on the audition process and show you exactly what it takes to become a Broadway star. The 10 lucky finalists will live together in a NYC loft while working their butts off with some of Broadway’s biggest names, including choreographer Denis Jones, vocal coach Seth Rudetsky and some of the cast members of Legally Blonde. Plus, they’ll be mentored by singer/actress Haylie Duff, who had her own starring role in the Broadway musical, Hairspray.
It’s going to take a lot of hard work, dedication and determination to be the next blonde on Broadway, and the competing girls will be given a crash course in singing, dancing and acting. Each week, the Elle Woods wannabes will step onstage in front of a panel of judges that includes: Broadway actor Paul Canaan, casting director Bernard Telsey and Legally Blonde: The Musical writer Heather Hach. They’ll critique the girls’ performances, and each week someone’s dreams of becoming a Broadway star will come crashing down. When it’s down to the final two, Tony Award winning director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell will help determine who’s got what it takes to be the next Elle Woods. The last girl standing will land the starring role in the blockbuster Broadway musical!
From the looks of that trailer, it looks like their journey is not going to be an easy one and I can’t wait to see which girl will be the next Elle Woods!
