Welcome to Legally Blonde!

We are excited to get started!

This production is the full Broadway production! Lots of fun and work ahead of you!

Please note- there are some adult content and sensitive topic references in this production. Make sure to reference to soundtrack, video or script to make sure you and your performer are comfortable with the content.

We will not have hard copy scripts available. All student accounts have been emailed an invitation to join the Legally Blonde Production Pro account. Once you are in the Production Pro account, you can find a digital copy of the script, vocal book and piano score. I suggest bringing your tablet or phone to rehearsals to access this content when you are there. (Label your devices!)

If you prefer to print out a hard copy of the script and vocal book, you can find that on scribd. You may have to pay a fee depending on your account status on scribd. There are also free versions of the script only (no vocal book), floating around on the internet.

Welcome to Legally Blonde

Rehearsals require positive attendance. Not all students will be needed at all rehearsals, and we will do our best to let folks know when they can skip and/or rehearse at home. If they end up at a rehearsals and do not have a lot to do with the directing team, they should team up with each other to work on lyrics, choreo, lines, etc.

Dress Code and positive behavior requirements will be enforced.

Bring Jazz shoes and Water Bottles for rehearsals.

Performance Week Details:

With Spring Break the week before our production, we will add some tech rehearsals in the space in the weeks prior to Spring break (dates TBD), and will have a tech rehearsal the last day of Spring break- April 27th-May1st. We will also aim to have rehearsals in the performance venue April 1st, 8th and 15th. Details to follow.

All actors should be at the theatre, with hair and makeup done, 1.5 hours before every performance time.

Actors should bring a storage bin, labeled with their name, to keep personal items in.

All Dance/Performance shoes and personal items should be labeled.

Actors can bring “clean snacks”, meaning snacks that do not create a mess on them, their hands or their clothes. No cheese, greasy foods, chocolate, red dyes etc. Suggestions include carrots, apple slices, plain pretzels. No eating in costume.

Actors should bring water bottles that do not spill.

Actors should have/wear deodorant. Even younger actors can smell from sweating under stage lights.

Actors will be required to be at all assigned tech rehearsals.

Parents will be volunteering for positions in front of house and back of house, and back stage. A sign up genius will be sent out.

For more details, review our Mainstage Productions details pages in the student handbook.

EMAIL SENT 2/26/2025- for reference

Hi guys!

We are already into the final countdown- we only have 7 rehearsals left before tech starts and we have A LOT to do!

First- make sure that all tech dates are in your calendar.  They have been posted in the last few months' versions of the newsletter--- You can find the Newsletter and the Newsies page etc here-- https://www.showtimeacademyrh.com/current-students

*Note- On The Tuesday rehearsals that are at the Theatre Space, prior to April 27th, we will also move your dance classes that are scheduled right beforehand. So, you don’t have to get from one space to the next.

Second, all of our actors need to learn their lines and lyrics!

-----You should have all of your lyrics memorized by this coming week.  You have had access to reference recordings since August.

------Actors with only a few lines, should also have those memorized by Tuesday. 

------Lead actors should be off-book by the end of March. 

Third, everyone should be rehearsing their choreography at home. We only schedule 1 rehearsal a week, to allow you to participate in other things, but that is based on you putting in the time on your own to practice between rehearsals, so we don't have to keep re-teaching. Many of you are clearly not practicing at home.  If it continues down that path, we will bring in parents and guardians so they can also see who is practicing and who is not, to help hold their students accountable. Videos are posted on the website in our Current Students info area for reference and practice purposes.  Always accessible. ****Starting March 3rd, Monday rehearsals extend to 9PM. 

Fourth, you should be gathering the items you will need for tech week and the performances now, so you are not panicking closer to. 

------Female actors should have…

  1. A few pairs of footed flesh tone dance tights (not bare legs and not panty hose)- https://a.co/d/du34bZC

  2. A couple pairs of flesh tone yoga shorts https://a.co/d/cKkM2FV

  3. A couple flesh tone thin strap camisoles (with or without built in bra, depending on the needs of the student. Students who need more support may opt for one without a bra and wear their own support under it.) https://a.co/d/2LlQuLe

  4. Girls in Cheer leaders section need white sneakers of their choice. For the rest of the show, all female actors can wear street shows or jazz shoes or character shoes, depending on what they choose and what works with their character and costumes.  Street shoes should be easy to dance in and stay securely on their feet.

  5. Makeup will be neutral stage makeup and hair will need to be out of your face, but not uniform between actors. Should be specific to your characters.

-----Male actors will need…

  1. A few pairs of light-colored compression shorts

  2. A few light-colored tank tops

  3. Multiple pairs of socks depending on costumes-  In most cases, with light shoes wear light socks and dark shoes wear dark socks.  Socks should come to your calf at a minimum.

  4. Shoes- Most actors should have their jazz shoes or black dress shoes with rubber soles, and fairly neutral sneakers.

  5. Basic stage makeup and gel for your hair.

-----All Actors need-

  1. A Bin with your name on it to keep your things in

  2. Water bottle (with water only) with your name on it

  3. Name in all of your shoes

  4. Deodorant!

  5. Clean snacks (nothing that can spill or stain)

  6. Cover up for intermission if you prefer (robe, giant T-shirt etc.)

A Sign Up Genius will come out in March for times when we need volunteers to help with sets, costumes and tickets etc.  Keep an eye out for that. 

Thanks guys!  Let's work hard to make this show a fabulous success!!
