BAILEY AS ELLE WOODS

I became obsessed with watching "Legally Blonde: The Search for Elle Woods" on MTV. I randomly ran across the first episode the night that the series premiered. Since then I have not missed an episode. MTV made the search for Laura Bell Bundy's replacement as the next Elle Woods in the Broadway production into a reality show, of course. The top 10 competed for 7 weeks and were one by one eliminated until there were two. Last night was the finale where they announced the winner. Bailey Hanks, a 20 year old girl from Anderson, South Carolina. A preachers daughter that always performed in their local community theatre since she was little.  Broadwayworld.com wrote a nice story about it here.

Here are my favorite parts from the finale:


Bailey in her dressing room before her final audition.


Bailey performing "Positive".


Bailey performing "So Much Better".


Finding out that she will be the next Elle Woods!


Bailey taking her "encore" after being announced the winner.


Bailey and the rest of the finalists in "Search for Elle Woods".
 

Bailey is the next Elle!

It is my goal to get to New York and see her perform.. or I will be in Nashville when the tour arrives there next summer!!
