Broadway [legally blonde the musical] info please!

Question

okk so i LOVE legally blonde the musical, adn ive been wanting to see it for a really long time. unfortunately i havent been able to, because i live in cali, and i dont have the money to fly to new york & see it on broadway. but today i just found out that it will be touring, and they'll be in my area [los angeles, california] for august of 2009. too bad that its so far away :/ but anyways, heres my questions:

1. does anybody know who will be playing elle woods in a year? will it still be bailey hanks, or will they have found somebody new?

2. how much does a ticket cost? ive never been able to go see a musical, so i have no idea about prices. i dont need an exact price, i just want an estimate.

yeahh i tried looking this stuff up online, but i couldnt find any info on it, so your help is greatly appreciated. thanksss :D

Answer 1

haha i have nvr seen a broadway show either, but i have seen a few shows off broadway when they were touring.

baily wont be on  the tour but rihannan and lauren are now part of the off broadway cast.

if u eventually see it in  new york then idk if baily will still be there. she only signed a contract of 6 months because she wasnt sure if after that if she wanted to keep doing legally blonde or  go back to school or take a job offer to play glinda in wicked. sooooo idkkk. just keep checking into it like i am :)

Answer 2

Usually the people who play the main characters on Broadway don't go on the tour. They usually find new people to travel.

Not sure about the ticket information, but I'm sure it varies as to where you want to sit in the theater. The better the seats, the more expensive. I would say you probably can get decent seats for under a hundred dollars. Probably around sixty or seventy.

Answer 3

omg i love it too.

i wanna see it so bad.

i just saw wicked about a month ago and my councelors daughter played the green witch. (elphaba) and im pretyy sure that she didnt go on tour even though she was the main part. but she did eventually go to play in rent instead so i dont think she went on tour.

so for legally blonde im not sure if bailey will be playing the part of elle when it comes to LA, because some go on tour and some dont.

but as for the tickets..

it depends where you wanna sit.

if you like seats from A-L they would be around 150-175 dollars.

from M-Z around 95-120 . at least thats how it was for the pantages when i went.

did you watch the reality show for legally blonde the musical??

i LOVED it.

Answer 4

Bailey Hanks played Elle woods on Broadway. I just saw it on Sunday in NYC, it was really good!

Answer 5

1. Next year on Broadway, Bailey will not be in the show. She only has a contract for 6 months and then I believe that Laura Bell Bundy is going to be coming back to the show. On tour, Becky will be playing Elle and will probably still be in the show in a year.

2. Tickets on Broadway run from around $45- $250 (for premium tickets) There is also rush, but you're not guaranteed tickets. $26.50 - available on the day of the performance when the box office opens. Approximately 24 seats available for each performance. Limit 2 per valid ID. Student IDs checked both at time of purchase and when you enter the theatre.  It is avable only to high school or college students with vaild, current student IDs.  

Answer 6

as of now it will be Becky Gulsvig as Elle.
