“When Elle Woods’ seemingly perfect pink life takes an unexpected
turn, she follows her ex-boyfriend Warner to Harvard in hopes of winning him back. Once there, she is confronted with the ruthless Professor Callahan and an ensemble of unfriendly Harvard Law students that includes Warner’s ambitious new girlfriend, Vivienne. Elle’s “Greek Chorus” of Delta Nu sisters arrive to help navigate and cheer her along. Ultimately, Elle discovers her strengths with the help of Emmett, a hardworking teaching assistant and Paulette, a lovable hairdresser with plenty of wisdom. Packed with upbeat songs, hilarious moments, and heartwarming themes of self-discovery and perseverance, this show is sure to entertain audiences,” Director Emily Howard, an English 11 teacher at Newark High School said, adding that the show contains some mature language and parental discretion is encouraged.
