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.

"Boots" to Broadway

The 2006 Miramax film comedy Kinky Boots, about a drag queen who saves a failing shoe company with a line of fetish footwear, is being turned into a stage musical.

Veteran Broadway producers Daryl Roth (August: Osage County) and Hal Luftig (Movin' Out) are in talks with Jerry Mitchell (Legally Blonde) to direct the new show.

Before directing Legally Blonde on Broadway, Mitchell choreographed the film-to-stage adaptations of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Hairspray, and The Full Monty.
