Fun Show, Less Fun Experience
The show is high energy fun. There were a few moments the high pitched squealing from the cast was a bit ear piercing, but it was all part of the schtick. The Fox is a beautiful old theatre, but the venue was not ready for the influx of nearly exclusively female audience members, most of whom seemed to have “brunched hard” before showing up to Legally Blonde and they kept on drinking hard at the venue. At intermission, we were in line for the ladies room for an interminable amount of time and the show restarted without the house lights blinking or any cue at all that the show was about to restart, so we missed the first 15 minutes of the the second act. I think I’ll be skipping any stage show that I know is going to be all (boozy) women for a while.
