Billings Studio Theatre announces that the season opener for its 2012-2013  season will be “Legally Blonde, The Musical” a smash hit that is proving to be extremely popular in regional theatres across the nation.

 With book by Heather Hach and music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin, the musical is based on the hit movie Legally Blonde. Sorority president Elle Woods is dumped by her boyfriend before he heads off to graduate law school at Harvard University. Determined to win back her man, Elle enrolls in the same imposing institution, quickly becoming an object of scorn and ridicule, especially to his old prep school flame. Despite her penchant for malls, makeup, and tanning, Elle is no dummy and is soon showing elite Ivy League snobs a thing or two about class, self-confidence, and courtroom victory.

 BST plans to announce the rest of their season in early spring. For more information, call Billings Studio Theatre at 248-1141.
