In this era of musicals finding their inspiration from bands, cartoons, & comic strips, I have long wondered why The Chick Flick Musical has not become a trend. Legally Blonde worked better as a musical than a movie. It also inspired Legally Blonde: The Search for Elle Woods, which was one of my favorite TV shows ever. MTV also recorded a live Broadway performance & frequently aired it. Besides being a quality musical & quality television show, Legally Blonde: The Musical caused a whole new demographic to be interested in Broadway. I understand that The Chick Flick Musical can be perceived as trite, but powerful themes, excellent music, & smart staging are what actually dictates the quality of a musical. Maybe the world is catching on because now we have:
