Last night I checked out the brand-new musical Legally Blonde. Yup, as in the hilarious story of Elle Woods following her slimy ex-boyfriend to Harvard Law school, where she—and all of her pink and scented accessories—win over the hearts of the stodgy, snooty ivy leaguers. The musical follows a similar storyline to the movie, but it’s snazzed up with breathtaking dance numbers and adorably catchy songs. From the top of the show—which opens with “Omigod You Guys,” a riot of a song performed by a gaggle of Elle’s giddy Delta Nu sorority sisters—to the final court room scene featuring Bruiser (Elle’s faithful chihuahua) decked out in a tie, I was either smiling or laughing the entire time. After all, who wouldn’t love a musical all about following your heart, tackling challenges, having fun, and looking so cute while doing so? And I wasn’t the only one lapping up Legally Blonde like it was brownie sundae a la mode—Paige Davis (from Trading Spaces) was sitting right behind me, laughing just as loud as everyone else!

Thanks to Tracy for taking me along!

And speaking of star sightings, I forgot to mention that I saw my boy Dennis Leary outside of Chelsea Piers the other night. He is much taller than I thought in person and very cute! I'm excited for Rescue Me to start up again. I've missed it!
