Legally Blonde: The Musical Tour Cast Preview

[rebeccalafferty]

ANNALEIGH! IS SO MUCH BETTER

[edwardrxs]

Lamest and most boring jump at the end but it's still awesome

[bogganboy]

WHY IS IT SO SLOW? Pick up the tempo, ladies and gents!

[cientaebella]

This Girl is good, but I prefer Lauren..

[moviesrule23]

Is this a chick flick musical???????????????????????­?? I am a guy and i am seeing it in febuary so i was won dering if guys wold enjoy this musical 2?

[mitdougmun]

@moviesrule23 It's a really fun musical

[Theatrical100]

You don't need to be a belter to be Elle but you need to be a strong singer.

[whitehorsez13]

@Theatrical100 i saw this girl and she was amazing!! laura is better but this girl was great too!!

[tunapup1]

There is no doubt that Laura Bell Bundy is better than her but at least she's trying. Actually, she looks a great deal like Reese Witherspoon - the original Elle Woods might I add.

Thanks for the upload.

[ILOVEPURPLE1016]

I'm seeing this on August 14,2010 at Wolf Trap. Can't wait

[KrazyKatie81]

@ILOVEPURPLE1016 Me to!! :D So excited!!!

[FromVancouverToNY]

is anyone in the touring group the same from the original?

[yadiyadiyadaaaa]

@FromVancouverToNY Becky Gulsvig, who's currently playing Elle on tour, was the understudy on Broadway.

[LaVie92]

@FromVancouverToNY i saw it in toronto, and it was still michael rupert as professor callahan. LOVE HIM.

Becky was also in the original broadway cast, and she's playing Elle.

The girl who played Paulette was Enid in the original broadway cast, and there's a few other cast members who were from the broadway cast, but I forget who all was.

[chikayako]

i saw this a few days ago it was sooo good. im pretty sure it was with becky gulsvig as elle woods. she was really good

[IndieHardcoreBaby]

she is so BLAND, no excitment or anything no WAY as good as laura bell bundy or sheridan smith

[Tacoflavoredkiss1]

seeing this in 4 days. OMG I'M SOOO STOKED

[Allmusicals13]

I wuz sooo close to seeing this!!!!! I hope the Benedum in Pittsburg PA will do this! The tour waz there but not for long. If just Pittsburg did it then i would have had a better chance.

[dramaticbabe]

laura bell brought alot more power 2 the song 'so much better' than this girl did. i like her 2 but im just saying lol.

[kawaiimartha]

When i saw Becky at the Tony's it seemed as she has gotten so much better. (No pun intended) I can't wait to see her in indianapolis on May 2010. :D

[justmeandtommy]

laura bell bundy is elle. period. just as annaleigh, she IS margot.

[smarties996]

Oh yeah, how many have you seen?

Honestly, don't make up a number to try and prove a point

[disneyprincess761]

noone beats laura bell bundy. she should always be elle on broadway, no question.

[BroadwayBabeify]

I love becky! she is amazing as elle! i get to see her on october 24th! i love the part where she says "Hey mom!" in this song. its so funny!

[gabrieljlivingston]

I loved it, I saw it in June. I thought it would be corny but it was great

[ambamalot]

i saw that on wednesday!!! it was the best!

[0kbaby0]

Laura Bell Bundy is always gonna be the best Elle Woods. (At least on Broadway)

[CrAzEdBoAr]

I met the whole cast! They were all so incredibly nice and signed my program! The guy who played Emmett was sooo cute! i said to him "you are such an amazing actor and are so incredibly cute!" than he said to me "aw thanks you just made my day!" i nearly died! This cast is very very good! They are a lot different from the Broadway cast, and have their own unique style!

[smileshiningful]

her voice seems more shrill. laura bell bundy was DEFINITELY the best

[gerryfan101]

Is it just me or does Becky's voice seem slightly lower than Laura Bell's im not critizing after all im gunna see it at the Pantages just curious

[pinkday4]

????? Im seeing this tonight..super excited..but Becky has ALOT to live up to!!! I wonder if she is just one of those voices u have to hear live to like???? Laura Bell I have to say is still the FAV!!!

[broadwaymike92]

Becky would be a great GLINDA in Wicked

[ZTCProductions1]

i saw this in october with becky she was really good

[BroadwayBabeify]

well how about you audition, MrsMcMahon4life? I would love to see your face once they told you you didn't get the part :)

[BroadwayBabeify]

oh yeah, I'M the idiot. it doesn't matter how old the comment is, its the stupidity that lasts.

[BroadwayBabeify]

wow. great comeback. come up with that all by urself?

[howlongleft]

beckys gotten way better than in this video!

[Annaledb]

i saw it in new york and going to see again this week!!!!!

[march1380]

Are alot of the girls who played elle naturally blonde? I'm a brunette and I'm doing a performance thing for school in the fall which showcases a number from LB, and I wouldn't know if I had to dye my blonde, or if I could get away with wearing a wig.

Any ideas?

[mmm522]

Most Elle's are natural blondes but they all wear wigs so it doesn't matter if you're blonde or not. If you have a good wig then it'll probably be fine

[itsme123123hehe]

How r u doing this... the right arent avalible r u like stealing it

[gabrieljlivingston]

i'm going to see it tomorrow!!!

[agentgingerale]

I am looking SO forward to seeing this tour in September! Natalie Joy Johnson (an actress and singer I adore) is playing Paulette after her run playing Enid on Broadway, and I can't wait to see her - she'll knock 'em out of the park.

[cassadeathtrain]

Lauren [the understudy] did SOOOOO much better . (haha , if you get that last reference , i love you .)

[caitXvm]

Laura Bell Bundy was so much better. This girl is talented but I really don't think that anybody can ever top Laura Bell. It's just not the same show with the different cast. Maybe it's just me, but she doesn't seem ELLE like Laura Bell did. I don't know, I'm probably biased. lol

[bubblegirl079]

Whatever happened to Bailey from the MTV show??

[Milkshakesnpiano]

she reminds me a lot of Reese witherspoon.

[bubblegirl079]

Maybe that was the idea? Or maybe she was just really good AND looked like her..

[azzurridego96]

have any of you seen the actual tour cast? i saw it at the benedum when it was in pittsburgh and she was amazing!!!!!the whole cast was

[liz90201]

this is a good elle but Laura Bell Bundy was AMAZING

[PattyXatty]

New York version is so much better. thats not a very good elle

[youmakememadgrrr]

yyyeahhh NO.

she's not good.

if you guys really think she's better than laura bell bundy, you are WRONG.

laura bell maddeeee this part.

she's a good singer and everything, but she's not "elle". Like look at her jump at the way end of "so much better". i mean, honestly?

she's too old and squeaky. and she doesn't even look young.

i really dont think this is a good representation of the show with laura bell. i wish we could all go back to those times. hahahaha

[agentgingerale]

Actually, she's a year younger than Laura Bell, and she looks about the right age to be starting law school - she's not fresh out of high school, y'know.

It makes me sad when people like you seem to think that just because someone isn't the same as the person who "made" the part, they're automatically crap. She looks good - she's just not Laura Bell.

[tam7iam]

Not saying the Broadway lady wasn't talented; but this Elle is EXACTLY like the movie character! The broadway actress is too intelligent of an Elle. This woman did a FANTASTIC job of playing this part. Ditto for the woman that played the hairstylist. The tour characters were "so much better, than before." All great singers and actors though. I just felt these two were cast with the same flare of the movie character; which is what the average viewer is looking for...

GREAT JOB Chicago cast!!!

[agentgingerale]

I don't know if I'd say TOO intelligent, but she was definitely a different character than the film version. I think she transferred a lot of her Galinda characterization from her time in Wicked, and Galinda really IS a rather intelligent woman behind her shallowness and bubbly-headedness.

Both actresses are great, you guys. Different =/= bad!

[VAFAN101]

i hope shes bette cause this is a NOOOO

[RonJonas93]

dont worry she is amazing i saw the show last night!!!

[veryfunny125]

i think becky is even better than laura bell bundy! shes a good singer! i saw this show live and i have to admit that Emmet is my favorite!! i only like the emmet that plays in this video cause he was the one i saw live He was the BEST!!

[FuckingFierheller]

Becky will be perfroming "So Much Better" live at the 2009 Tony awards Sunday June 7th.

[HyperMaddyx]

becky has gotten so much better (no pun intended) at playing this role. if you look at videos of when she was just an understudy, it's definatley not as good as she is now. she has improved so much and she has made the role her own. but my biggest shock is how good NJJ was as paulette!

[TheQueenofBroadway]

I loved Becky on the tour. I wasn't so sure at first but she blew me away. And Becky is a sweetie too. I'm so glad its touring again. I hope it comes back to Philly so I can see it one more time!

[FruitsBasket72897]

Yaa umm no Laura Bell bundy sooo much better

[thoughtsmeander]

Becky has grown SO much into the role, I always disliked the videos of her I saw on here but I just saw her live yesterday and FELL IN LOVE. She is adorable and has improved so much, I was very surprised and pleased!

[amazingairhead]

i'm seeing this tomorrow and i can't wait!

[alfieism]

believe me: SHES MUCH BETTER NOW. This does her absolutely no justice

[kwijuice]

hopefully now that she's been doing in consistently for almost 9 months now she's gotten better at the role. this song was so flat in more ways than one. i'm going to see the tour next month so i really it's gotten better, but mostly i'm excited to see NJJ as paulette!

[tttka91]

fuk her voice is shit to lbb!!!!!

[ifonlyheknew95]

ikr!!!

[richsmi1]

more like 1% of the energy lbb had/has

[smarties996]

Im so happy about the London cast for this show, mail me if you want to know who warner elle and emmett are...

[pheebster1405]

it's going to be amazing, I cant wait to see the show. I'm going to see it on 7th december.

[Elphie31]

This girl's voice is so much better than LBB's... she was flat on pretty much every second note... but characterisation?.. hmm.

[smarties996]

This is Becky Gulsvig me thinks...

[Bridgit9999]

Laura Bell Bundy was was better than this girl. I loved Laura Bell Bundy.

[danid0010]

that elle sucks.!

[Doctor1137]

Who's Elle

[LexiSaysHiToChu]

Wow its a very slow pace for this song...

[Continental180]

just saw this last weekend, saturday, the 14th in Orlando. Amazing! to bad its not still on broadway!

[3coolio]

im sorry but laura is so much better , no pun intended

[danid0010]

lol thats kinda ironic(:

[3coolio]

LOL

[wickedissocool]

i love the tour cast!

[liliekinz]

this isnt a very good preview of it, but i saw the tour show back on october 19 (yes its ironic cause it was the last night of the show on broadway).

it was amazing

i started crying because of seeing becky gulsvig, natalie joy johnson, rhiannon hansen, and lauren zakrin.

lol im pathetic :]

[ElphabaGlinda7794]

i cant wait until June 9th - 14th!!! BC its coming to Pittsburgh, and there is this thing they (Benedum Center People) Send to schools and if you r like a good student they give you tickets FOR 10 DOLLARs! and u get any seat! which is amazing! i want to see it so bad!

[RaspberryRainbowS]

I loved the musical when I saw it.

[kristenlusby22]

Does anyone know what exact shows Laura will be playing at because I'm going to see it in 2 weeks and I hope its Laura, I'm not the biggest fan of Lauren.

[yanks2]

Laura and lauren are alternating the roles in Austin TX Feb 2-8 and Houston TX Feb 10-22

[zztob]

SHE'S TRAGIC

[iceynoah]

Too slow

[ChaosBleeds]

Very underwhelming. Im glad I didnt go see it on tour if this is what it had to offer. Ill just stick to LBB on mtv's version. :)

[kristenlusby22]

Ummm...Laura Bell is playing Elle while Becky recovers so...you could've seen her.

[MichaelCrawfordsFan]

I saw them. They were really good.

[yanks2]

I cant believe LBB is going to replace Becky for 6 weeks i have tickets to the show in houston and shell be there. I AM SO PUMPED!!!

[ohsinnaman]

lauren from the mtv show will be switching off and on with her.

[KimberlyNoel]

which six weeks?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[KimberlyNoel]

Do you know which six weeks or where I can find out?!?!?!?!?

[Jvargas0026]

U and Me both. I got tiks in houston too. I cant believe LBB is going to be there. YAY

[COPhill08]

It sorta put me to sleep she didn't have any excitement to this exciting song.... yawn

[9ALLEN9]

I'm gonna see it when it comes to the Pantages.....and um....hopefully *coughfilmcough* it.

[LilMissHamilton94]

who is this? cause she really isnt that good....its like, boring. and pitchy.

[bcdada]

thank you her name is beckey!!! Shes really worse than Bailey!!!

[broadwayfan2012]

wow!i got to see it in DC.

never got to it on braodway in time.

was atill amazing though..

kudos :)

[WishingOnIyWounds]

I love Becky. I saw the show on Broadway 3 times while she was the understudy and not once was I lucky enough to get her as Elle!

[cooljay46]

I thought in this video she wasn't good at all. Her energy is in-existant ... she totally bored me ... and she is NOTHING compared to Laura !!

[MDalto1]

Why's the tempo so slow....it takes the energy out...maybe the conductor just counted it off kinda slow....is that Rhionnan I see in the back...I love her...

[thejoeyoshow]

im seing it when it comes to tampa! CHECK OU THE JOEY O SHOW!

[mikeg580]

saw it was so dissapponited with becky veery dulllllsville!

[imetcarmencusack]

i saw becky and contrary 2 ur comment, i LOVED her...

[imetcarmencusack]

o and to ADD to that, this was the performance I saw, and she sounds "So Much better" live... She sounded so much more energetic, and this camera catches all the screechy parts that do not exist in her live performance. this vieo does not do her justice.

[Fierheb]

I think this video is great and DOES do her justice.

I'd rather see her than Laura.

Also I love her "no no I can't wait".

= )

[cooljay46]

I think her "No no I can't wait" sounds like she's talking during sex ...

[unimpaired101]

The way she sang 'No no I can't wait' was not that good. But she hit the last night beautifully. Great riffs.

[defygravity8844]

i saw this last week and i agree with hkb0408, this video doesnt do her any justice! i thought she was wonderful

[liebe28395]

i saw it last night so happy ir was my dream

[no1fosterluvah]

I saw this the other day! She is amazing! She blew me away!

[perla07]

is this a joke? she doesnt have much energy

[kwarrm]

i hate becky. she's sooo boring!

[LaconiaLove]

omigod!! i saw this like a week ago and it was AHHMAZING!!!! i especially love the ups guy kyle everyone of his scenes was HILARIOUS and the cast all has Ahmazzing voices to go along with great songs!!!!

[hkb0408]

I saw this cast last week and they were amazing! This video doesn't do Becky justice at all!

[SonicRulez94]

i think laura bell had wayyyy more energy and baily doesnt

[DallasTALKSBWAY]

why is the tempo sooo slow?!

idk - what to think except bailey, and or laura bell would be great to see in the tour...

[smiley58524]

Does anyone know when Lauren will be an understudy for Elle? I want to see her when the tour comes to Michigan, but I definitely want to see Lauren as Elle.

[xiheartxBroadwayx]

i saw this cast last night and they were amazing!

Becky's riffs were the best!!

[mccreadboy]

i love her cresendo on before at the end. nice touch

[OmigodRajaMCYO]

and does anyone notice the girl who flips a sign over that has an "s" on it for "elle woods" at the end instead of having another girl turn around?

why is that?

was the girl out that day or is there just no other girl to do it?

[snapsforsnoopy]

it's supposed to be a shopping bag. i think it is a cute idea.

[OmigodRajaMCYO]

I HATE HER.

lauren zakrin should be elle on the tour. or annaleigh ashford. or haven burton. or even autumn!

ANYONE BUT THIS EMOTIONLESS BORING FOOL.

[Cait423]

amen!!!

[OmigodRajaMCYO]

thank you. lol.

i'm glad someone agrees.

[hamsterbob101]

I like becky's voice alot she sounds good different and I think that's why i like it. I wish they had the full orechstra though I would like it more I love her little riff on so much better around 1:39

[abominablecorrection]

Did you see her stumble? Ha, she was twirling for like five seconds because the tempo's so slow.

[LegallyBlonde4ever]

I would just like to know why this is so slow. But I am very excited to see it in Philly in December!

[RENTlover12345]

The tour is AMAZING!!! I saw the tour when it opened in Providence RI, then Im seeing it again on December when it comes to CT. Becky is AMAZING as Elle. Oh and Rihannon & Lauren are awesome too!

[foxysarena]

im seeing this saturday oct 25th in rochester NY...TOMMORROW!!! Becky Gulsvig is getting RAVE reviews!

[MissLeannxx]

I'll play the S!

[getonyourfeet]

Where is the power? Omigod, Where is laura Bell bundy?

[MissLeannxx]

This is the tour, Laura's the original on broadway [:

[twinklefudge]

who is it playing elle??

[soupboy15]

becky gulsvig

[jjakagary]

She even looks like Reese W. :D She rocks!!!

[mccreadboy]

why is it so slow?

[youprobablysmell]

i think it's just the dropped key and it's flipping her out.

[galcntry83]

I think it's because they tried to fit it to Beckys voice level. Her vocal range isn't as strong as LBB's is. I still love it though, I'm going to see it Friday the 24th in Rochester, NY.

[mccreadboy]

true.

i love the little flag S at the end

[mmm522]

Nope her voice is actually stronger than LBB's. This is the key they used for the last months of LBB's run. But when Becky went on they used the original key. I guess they felt that if lowered it for Bailey and LBB they should do it for her. This isn't the best clip of Becky but she still rocks!

[galcntry83]

Oh she definetley rocks! I saw her Friday night, the 24th, she was awesome. I was impressed with the whole show though, i'm just sad it went by so fast, and Natalie Joy Johnsons version of Paulette is awesome to.

[na18oux]

are you deaf?

her voice has nowhere near the power of Laura Bell Bundy's.

I'm insulted for her...

[mmm522]

Well watch some clips of her from Broadway and compare that final note with LBB's. Because LBB could like never hit it but Becky could. Same for most of the other songs. So I can see where she doesnt have enough power in her voice......

[na18oux]

lolll! still nooo way!

laura bell hits it in full chest voice,

Becky hits it mediocre and then switches to what sounds like mixed voice, and a very nasally one at that.

laura bell is an absolute power house, and sure, this girl isn't horrible, but she will never have the energy or power Laura Bell brought to Elle.

[milesfile77]

Laura Bell's energy and acting were phenomenal in this show. However, her voice started out strong and then slowly died. I saw her in previews where she kicked complete ass in So Much Better. When I saw her a year later, she was nowhere near as powerful...That was around the time they lowered the key of the song as well. Her voice was dying. It was nearly powerless for the entire performance. Don't get me wrong, i ADORE her...but she is not the absolute powerhouse she used to be.

[Cait423]

even now, Becky can't even be compared to Laura. I saw the show a week before Laura left, and thought even then it was much better than this!
