An Incomprehensive List of Good Legally Blonde productions
aka a list of Legally Blonde productions that understood the importance of the door during the Legally Blonde ballad and didn't try to do the show without the door like most productions do *glares*
Please see this excellent analysis by @amaliabalash (and @jewishpoedameron) to read about the door discourse
Original Broadway production (duh. LBB and Christian are so good! Also I would love to see footage of the show where the door didn't come up in time so Christian was yelling his lines from underneath the stage haha)
Penn State 2018 MainStage Production (probably my favorite after the original production)
Tenafly High School (bonus points for Asian Emmett!! You don't see a lot of diverse casting in most productions sadly)
WVRHS (the emotions in this!)
Audubon High School (props to the actor playing Elle for doing the whole show despite her injury!) Update 12/13/2023
Syosset High School (again bonus for Asian Emmett! and Asian Callahan! clearly a very talented cast :))
Summit High School (one that I watched years ago but didn't add onto to the list bc I remembered that they were just singing on opposite ends of the stage. Just rewatched it, and it turns out they do sing with the door near the end of the song! So props for excellent door acting that I completely forgot about haha. And easily one of the best high school productions overall!) Update 01/02/2024
Garnet Valley High School (easily one of my favorite high school productions! Despite the huge cast, the singing is great, the acting is great, and Elle and Emmett are adorable together! Something interesting to note in the ballad scene is that while there is a door, Emmett is singing from inside Elle's room while Elle is outside)
Feel free to add other productions to this list!
