Act One

 

Legally Blonde begins with the ooverjoyed girls of UCLA's sorority Delta Nu, led by Margot, Serena, and Pilar, celebrate the engagement of Warner Huntington III to their sweet, perky, and strikingly blonde sorority president, Elle Woods, who is fretting over finding the perfect dress to fit the occasion "Omigod You Guys". Once her dream dress is aquired, Elle goes to dinner with Warner, where he tells her that he needs to be with someone more "Serious" and breaks up with her. Elle is devastated and sulks for twelve days "Daughter of Delta Nu" but then decides to chase Warner to Harvard Law School to show him that she can be serious.

 

With help from Delta Nu sister Kate, Elle studies for the LSAT's. Instead of writing a personal essay, Elle bursts into the Harvard admission offices backed by a squad of cheerleaders. She is only accepted after revealing she is motivated by love. "What You Want"

 

Elle's snobby classmates totally disapprove of her attire, and the only one willing to help her is law teaching assistant, Emmett Forrest "The Harvard Variations". However, he cannot protect her in class from the seemingly blood-thirsty Professor Callahan "Blood in the Water". Callahan kicks the under-prepared Elle out of his class at the suggestion of her classmate Vivienne Kensington, who just happens to be Warner's new girlfriend. This summons the apparitions of the sisters of Delta Nu, who, acting as a Greek Chorus visible and audible only to Elle, instruct her to stay "Positive". Elle, deciding that being blonde must be the problem, and so decides to become a brunette. She heads to the salon where she meets the spunky beautician Paulette, who tells Elle that when she is feeling down, she puts on her favorite CD, and dreams of "Ireland". At the salon, Vivienne gives Elle a very unexpected invitation to a costume party. Paulette sends Elle off with a costume for the party, her positivity and blonde hair still intact "Ireland (Reprise)"

.

Walking into the party dressed as a Playboy bunny, Elle soon realizes that she was tricked by Vivienne but courageously seeks out Warner in a big effort to win him back, but unfortunately leaving him unimpressed "Serious (Reprise)". Elle then runs from the party, only to meet Emmett, who struggles to understand Elle's love problems. He gets Elle to assess her priorities until she realizes it is her obsession with Warner that actually keeps her from earning his respect. Freed from her need to please Warner, she beats him in a classroom debate "Chip on My Shoulder". Elle then helps Paulette in a way that proves that she is beginning to understand law. Warner and Vivienne win two of Callahan's much coveted internship positions, and Warner proposes to Vivienne on the spot right in front of Elle. Vivienne accepts. Before Elle's heart can break, Emmett shows her the internship list. Below the names of Vivienne, Warner, and classmate Enid Hoopes is the name Elle Woods, at which she is totally ecstatic "So Much Better".

 

Act Two

 

Mr Callahan, Emmett, and the four interns are studying the workout video of their client, fitness mogul Brooke Wyndham "Whipped into Shape". Brooke's stepdaughter, Chutney, is accusing Brooke of murdering her (Brooke's) much older husband. Mr Callahan and the interns visit Brooke in jail, but are unable to extract an decent alibi from her, until she is alone with Elle and reveals she was getting liposuction on the day of the murder "Delta Nu Nu Nu". Not willing to betray her Delta Nu loyalty, Elle asks Callahan to trust her when she says that Brooke is innocent. Emmett begs Elle to break her promise, which she flatly refuses. She then takes Emmett to a department store to help him dress for success "Take It Like a Man". The results impress them both.

 

Back at the Hair Affair, Elle is getting a manicure when Kyle, the hunky new UPS delivery man, walks in. Paulette is stunned, but is too shy to talk to him. As she bends down to pick up the package, Margot, Serena and Pilar are summoned by Paulette's amazing 'Bend and Snap'. The sorority girls tell Paulette to use the 'Bend and Snap' on Kyle, but when she does, she accidentally breaks his nose "Bend and Snap"

 

On day three of Brooke's trial, Brooke's pool boy, Nikos Argitakos, shocks the court by claiming that he is Brooke's lover. Brooke denies it, and Elle believes her. Elle tries the 'Bend and Snap' twice in front of Nikos but gets no response so she concludes that he is gay, while Callahan believes him to be simply European "There! Right There!". The question seems to baffle everyone until it is revealed by Carlos, Nikos' boyfriend, that Nikos is both gay and European.

 

Later that night in Callahan's office, the interns all celebrate Elle's skill. However, after dismissing Emmett and the other interns, Callahan forcibly kisses Elle, who then slaps him. In turn, Callahan fires her. Warner and Vivienne both saw the kiss, though only Vivienne saw the subsequent slap. Warner mocks Elle, but Vivienne tells him to shut up and they both leave. Elle prepares to go home defeated, even though Emmett asks her to stay, finally realizing that he has fallen in love with her "Legally Blonde".

 

Elle heads to the Hair Affair to say her goodbyes to Paulette, but before she can leave, Vivienne convinces Elle otherwise "Legally Blonde Remix".

Chutney accidentally confesses that she was the one who killed her father. Warner proposes to Elle, having been dumped by Vivienne. but Elle gently refuses, claiming to have been changed by the experience "Find My Way".

Savoy Theatre in London is a west end theatre located on the Strand in the City of Westminster. The theatre first opened on 10th October 1881 and was built by Richard D'Oyly Carte on the site of the old Savoy Palace as a showcase for the popular series of comic operas by Gilbert and Sullivan which later became known as the Savoy Operas as a result. 

The Savoy Theatre was the first theatre, and indeed the first public building in the world, to be lit entirely by electricity In 1889, Richard D'Oyly Carte built the Savoy Hotel next to the theatre. For many years, the Savoy was the home of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company,  and it was run by the Carte family for over a century. Rupert D'Oyly Carte, Richard's son rebuilt and modernised the theatre in 1929, and it was rebuilt again in 1993 following a fire. It is a Grade II listed building.

Apart from Gilbert and Sullivan premières such as The Mikado the theatre has hosted such notable premières asBlithe Spirit by Noel Coward in 1941. In recent years it has presented opera,Shakespeare and other plays as well as musicals including revivals of both Fiddler On The Roof and Carousel as well as newer productions such as Never Forget and the current show Legally Blonde. 

While the theatre was being renovated in February 1990, a fire gutted the entire building, except for the stage and backstage areas. Tugwell's and Ionides's designs had been preserved, however, allowing the accurate restoration of the theatre under the direction of the architect Sir William Whitfield, Sir Hugh Wontner and the theatre's manager, Kevin Chapple, the Savoy Theatre  reopened on 19th July 1993. The present theatre has a capacity of 1,158. During the period of renovation, an extra storey was added above the theatre that includes a health club for the hotel and a swimming pool above the stage. The reopened theatre was the venue for the World Chess Championships in 1993, won by Garry Kasperov.

In 1993, Relative Values by Noel Coward played at the theatre, having premièred there in 1951.  Tom Stoppard's Travestiesstarring Anthony Sher.was next, and in 1994 the musical She Loves Me featured starring Ruthie Henshaw and John Gordon Sinclair  These were followed by Dead Funny by Terry Johnson and Alan Aykbourne's Communicating Doors.

In 1997, a group led by Sir Stephen Waley-Cohen was given management of the Savoy Theatre by The Savoy Group. The productions that followed included The Importance Of Being Oscar starring Simon Callow and the Pet Shop Boys in concert. 

In 2000, the briefly reconstituted D'Oyly Carte Opera Company produced H.M.S. Pinafore at the theatre which was followed by Enigmatic Variations starring Donald Sutherland which was then followed by a second D'Oyly Carte season, featuring The Pirates Of Penzance and then Antarctica by David Young. In 2002, a season of Return Of The Forbidden Planet was followed by the D'Oyly Carte productions of Iolanthe, The Mikado and The Yeoman Of The Guard and in 2003, the company revived Pinafore.

The Savoy Hotel group, which included the theatre, was sold in 2004 to Quinlan Private which, in turn, sold the theatre in 2005 to current owners the Ambassador Theatre Group.
