8:00 PM
A Tony Award-winning Broadway musical created by a top-of-their-class creative team. Don’t underestimate Elle Woods, a college sweetheart, homecoming queen, and not so dumb blonde who doesn't take "no" for an answer. When her boyfriend dumps her for someone “serious," Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before – Harvard Law School. In the end, Elle learns that being true to yourself never goes out of style. The verdict? This much fun shouldn’t be legal!
