The Search for Elle

Okay, so we haven't ever gotten into the whole "American Idol" thing, BUT...



We have been having a GREAT time watching MTV's "Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods" for the past seven Monday nights (haven't missed an episode!)

No, we are not MTV fans. (I've actually never ever even watched MTV before this.) We weren't even fans of "Legally Blonde" - the movie. (Although after re-watching it recently, we realized it is pretty cute.) What motivated us to watch this show is that our friend, Rhiannon, who used to live in Boulder City and was in our school and church ward, is one of the finalists! She was chosen, along with fourteen other girls, from thousands who tried out, to replace the actress currently playing Elle Woods in "Legally Blonde The Musical" on Broadway. The first episode whittled the girls down to ten and Rhiannon was the LAST one of the ten chosen. As of last night, with next Monday being the final episode, Rhiannon is in the TOP THREE!


She is so charming, so cute, so talented, so SPARKLY! She has what they call the "IT Factor" and just BUBBLES with personality. She IS Elle Woods!! The judges aren't sure her voice is Broadway ready, but we're hoping the whole package sways them! Wow, it has been fun to watch her!

I told the girls if Rhiannon plays Elle Woods on Broadway, we ARE going to go see her! It's looking like I may possibly have to pay up!! I sure hope so!

How fun! Now I have to watch to see her! Does Rhiannon's family still live in BC?

LaRae-Rhiannon and her family live in Logan, Utah now. She was billed as "the small town girl" on the show!

Wow...so does this makes you famous by association? Will we have to stand in lines for your autographs?
