Elle Woods is queen of the Delta Nus. But then, omigod, her boyfriend Warner Huntington III, dumps her for a more serious life, and wife, at Harvard Law. But this Malibu blonde doesn't know the meaning of "no." She charms her way into Harvard Law. She defends accused murder/fitness guru Brooke Wyndham and proves to her professor and peers she's got what it takes to be a legal eagle. And ultimately Elle learns that being true to one's self is always in style. Celebrate girl power with this "pinksapoppin funhouse" musical based on the 2001 Reese Witherspoon movie.
