SAAC welcomes the cast for our summer production of Legally Blonde: The Musical, sponsored by Murphy USA and licensed by Music Theatre International (MTI). Performances will run July 9 – 12 and July 16 – 19, 2026, at SAAC.

Based on the beloved novel and hit film, Legally Blonde: The Musical follows the journey of Elle Woods, a fashionable and optimistic UCLA sorority girl whose life is turned upside down when her boyfriend, Warner Huntington III, ends their relationship. Determined to prove she is more than what others perceive, Elle follows Warner to Harvard Law School, where she discovers her own strengths, challenges stereotypes, and ultimately finds success by remaining true to herself.

Director Taijee, who is making his SAAC debut, expressed his excitement about the production, “Being new to town and new to SAAC, my biggest concern was not knowing who would walk into the room for auditions. From the very first audition, this cast has been nothing short of incredible. Their energy, commitment, and chemistry have made every rehearsal a joy. One thing I often tell performers is, ‘You belong in the room.’ This cast has embraced that spirit and created a room filled with support, collaboration, and excitement. Together, we are building something special.”
