Who is playing Elle Woods in Legally Blonde: The Musical on August 9th at the Palace Theater?

Question

I'm going with my mom to see Legally Blonde: The Musical on August 9th at the Palace Theater, and I would like to know who is playing Elle Woods? I watched the whole season of Legally Blonde: The Musical: The Next Elle Woods, and Bailey won, and I was hoping she would be the one playing Elle Woods when I go. Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

It all depends ...are you going to the evening show or the matinee? Sometimes the understudies go on for the leads at matinees. If this is the case you might see Autumn.

Closer to the date you can check this website:

they list if there will be any substitutions.

Most likely, though, you will see Bailey since she has a limited contract.

Have fun!

Answer 2

It's going to be Bailey whether it's a matinee or an evening show because she is obligated to perform 8 times a week. Most likely she will be hired under an Equity contract. So unless she is sick or she has filed for leave on that day, she has to perform.

Otherwise, you get Autumn or another understudy.

I first saw Legally Blonde on the same day that Young Frankenstein opened and Christian Borle (Emmett) took a leave so he can be at the opening with his wife, Sutton Foster.

Answer 3

it is bailey i think...i remember hearing that she would start two days after the series ended!
