A "Blonde" Farewell for Laura Bell Bundy

On July 20 Laura Bell Bundy will give her final Broadway performance as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde.

She leaves the cast to pursue other interests, which include a television and recording career. Her country album Longing for a Place Already Gone was release last year, and she is currently developing a television project.

Speaking of television, her replacement will be announced July 21 on the MTV reality show Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods.

Legally Blonde has music and lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin, and a book by Heather Hach. Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell directed and choreographed. James Sampliner is the musical director. Orchestrations are by Christopher Jahnke. The show was produced by Hal Luftig, Fox Theatricals, and Dori Bernstein, in association with MGM Onstage, Darcie Denkert, and Dean Stolber.

Country music is bad!

And you forgot to mention that her replacement is an inexperienced, slightly talented nobody from South Carolina.
