The Story:

Elle Woods appears to have it all. Her life is turned upside down when her boyfriend, Warner, dumps her so he can attend Harvard Law. Determined to get him back, Elle ingeniously charms her way into the prestigious law school. While there, she struggles with peers, professors and her ex. With the support of some new friends, though, Elle quickly realizes her potential and sets out to prove herself to the world.

​

Casting:

Performers of ALL ethnicities, physical abilities, and gender identities are encouraged to audition. Unless specifically noted, all body types are welcome! All ages are “stage ages” and pliable.

 

Intimacy: There will be some kissing, hugging, and physical touch for some of the lead characters. If you are uncomfortable with any of the above, you may consider going for ensemble roles. 

​

Elle Woods, female, early 20s. THIS ROLE IS PRECAST.  Elle has more to offer than just a pretty face and a bubbly personality. She is hardworking, optimistic and tenacious. Elle is energetic, sweet, and thoughtful. Although people don't take her seriously, Elle has genius-level intellect and is cunning and witty. She is always kind even when others are not, and relentlessly positive.

Emmett Forrest, male, mid to late 20s.  Emmett is a smart and sensitive law student who takes Elle under his wing. He is charming, quirky, loveable, and friendly.  He has had to work hard his entire life to get into Harvard Law School, and nothing is going to come between him and becoming a partner in Callahan's law firm, except maybe his surprising love for Elle.

Paulette, female, 30's to 40's.  Paulette is a brash, caring, optimistic hair stylist who befriends Elle and longs to find a man for herself.  While she is a bold character, her self-esteem needs a little boost.  Good comedic timing.

Professor Callahan, male, 40's to 60's. Callahan is the most-feared law professor at Harvard Law School. Highly successful, but also pompous, sleazy, manipulative and completely immoral. Callahan's presence conveys authority and strength. Ultimately, he is a fierce villain.

Margot, Serena and Pilar, female, college age. Elle's trio of best friends and Delta Nu sisters. Pilar is the sassy and sensible sorority friend. Margot is the seemingly dim-witted, boy-crazy friend. Serena is the energetic cheerleader (from Jewish heritage) friend. These three roles make a complementary, dynamic group.

Brooke Wyndham, female, 30s. Brooke is a famous exercise video mogul who is also a Delta Nu alumna. She is energetic and charismatic, yet currently on trial for murdering her husband. Jump rope skills are essential for this actor.

Warner Huntington III, early 20s. Elle's ex-boyfriend, Warner is a good-looking but shallow and pompous guy who breaks Elle's heart and heads off to Harvard Law. He is caught between his former life with Elle and his newfound, serious East Coast life with Vivienne. 

Vivienne Kensington, female, early 20s. Vivienne is the very opposite of Elle. She comes from a very conservative East Coast background and is everything that Warner needs to make a serious move in his life. Vivienne is a smart, savvy, and uptight law student who initially dismisses Elle, but grows to be her friend.

Enid Hoopes, Aaron Schultz & Sundeep Agrawal Padamadan, 1 female & two males, early 20s. A trio law students with impressive credentials. Enid is an avid feminist and former Peace Corps volunteer. Aaron is a Fulbright and Rhodes Scholar.  Sundeep is a very rich Prince.  

Ensemble - any gender, 16+. Various ages and vocal ranges are needed for these roles filled by those cast in the Ensemble includes Kate, Chutney, Whitney, Dewey, Kyle, Grandmaster Chad, Harvard Admissions Officers, Pilot, Salon Cashier, Kiki the Colorist, Nikos, Carlos, Judge, Elle's mom and dad, Sabrina, sales clerk, store manager, prison guard, Delta Nu's, law students, prisoners, fraternity brothers, waiters, and more.  Those in the ensemble will play multiple roles.
