Paramount Players to present Legally Blonde: The Musical!

Manchesters Finest

The Paramount Players will present Legally Blonde the Musical at the Paramount Arts Center on August 3 and 4.

A fabulously fun award-winning musical based on the movie, Legally Blonde The Musical follows the transformation of Elle Woods (Audrey Fosson) as she tackles stereotypes and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. 

Action-packed and exploding with memorable songs and dynamic dances – this musical is so much fun it should be illegal!

Elle Woods appears to have it all. Her life is turned upside down when her boyfriend Warner (Thaddeus Stambaugh) dumps her so he can attend Harvard Law.

With the support of some new friends, though, Elle quickly realizes her potential and sets out to prove herself to the world.
