I just got back from St. Louis, my favorite city to visit! I have two very special places that I LOVE visiting while I'm in St. Louey~ Busch Stadium & The Fox Theater. When I was a senior in high school I decided to make it a hobby to attend Broadway shows whenever possible. Since then I have seen 42nd Street, Radio City Rockettes, Chicago, Annie (my engagement treat!), Sweeny Todd, and the latest~ LEGALLY BLONDE! I have always been a huge fan of Elle Woods (and the color pink!), but after today's show.... I am obsessed! After purchasing the tickets, I have to admit I was a little disappointed when I found out I wouldn't be seeing Bailey as Elle Woods. Bailey was the winner of The Search for Elle Woods MTV show. I loved her during the reality show, cheered for her during the finale, and was mega bummed that she wouldn't be in St. Louis. Even with a bit of disappointment, I knew that BECKY GULSVIG would play a fabulous Elle!
When we arrived at The Fox we had a while to wait in the lobby. After visiting the ladies room, I was checking out a list of the cast for today's show when I read:
Now playing:
Elle Woods...... Laura Bell Bundy!
I had to look twice. THE LAURA BELL BUNDY!? As in Laura Bell Bundy from the ORIGINAL Legally Blonde The Musical? No way!
I guess Ms. Gulsvig broke her ankle during practice or a show so Laura Bell Bundy re-joined the group and is filling in for her while she is healing. It was a very special treat and I am still singing songs from an amazing (and hilarious!) performance. Doug even decided that it was okay that he had to watch a
DVRed Super Bowl. He's such a trooper!
