Right on the heels of a masterful Sweeney Todd in October, Moonbox Productions has pulled off yet another big hairy audacious musical with ‘blood in the water’ – Legally Blonde. This time around, the venue is the BCA, the story is set in current-day SoCal and Cambridge (Sarabeth Spector, scenic, Finn Bamber, lighting, Julia Wonkka, properties design), and the cut-throats are lawyers and law students. Helmed by Katie Anne Clark (in her professional directorial debut), musical director Mindy Cimini, and Choreographer Taavon Gamble, the cast of 21 – 20 humans and one chihuahua – deliver energetic, pitch-perfect performances that keep the audience engaged and entertained from start to finish.
