Strath Haven High School in Wallingford, PA presents the musical Legally Blonde. This recording includes Act 1 from Sunday, March 10 and Act 2 from Saturday, March 9, 2019.
When they are speaking and the audience starts laughing they keep going so the audience starts laughing less and less cuz they don’t wanna miss anything
This is really good. They don't do that thing most high school productions do where they enunciate everything tooooo loooong in a way where it doesn't sound like natural speaking, they do it very fluid and normal and the singing is spot-on. Great job guys!
Shit my school didn’t even have an auditorium, we performed on the stage in the lunchroom whilst the athletes got their 4th workout area built that year and another gym. 🙃
Also the fact that she goes back to the overly feminine characteristics that she was criticized for and is still a badass lawyer !!! I love this musical !!
I loved this. The person who played Elle was amazing and so was every one else. The girl who played paulette had a great singing voice. And everyone were good singers and dancers. I rlly want them to fo this at my school but I dont think they will .
I've seen several productions of this show, from the original Broadway production, to regionals & high schools and this is by far the BEST High School Production I have seen, thus far. It's a very ambitious undertaking and everyone associated with this production needs to be given kudos for pulling off a BIG musical, like this. The direction is stellar, the kids/performers are wonderful and I have to single out the orchestra. I truly have never heard a high school orchestra this talented. AAA+++ all the way around. (Wish I had been there to see this production, in person). Many thanks for this video!!
One of the best Paulette's I have ever seen! Absolutely loved her acting and singing. Also really liked the girl playing Vivian. She looks similar to the actress in the musical.
This is so good! Elle is such a hard character to play and Julia did a great job! Also i loved the Gospel Choir, Paulette and Vivienne, and Emmet's actor also was pretty sick! Everything was great
I love this version! The ensemble numbers are so well done, everyone has so much energy and it's clear they all really enjoy it. And this is my favorite version of Positive! All the sorority girls are fantastic. Elle has such a sweet energy and is so funny, she also has great chemistry with everyone. One of my favorite versions on youtube!
awe they licensed the British version of Ireland (the British version is about a wedding because romanticizing Ireland is weird in Europe) (The broadway cast version is kinda about finding love in Ireland) edit: spelling
I was confused by the lyric change in Ireland, it’s the first time I’ve heard that version, but it was great singing!!! Also the subtle way El tied her shoes during chip on my shoulder! It was good, I couldn’t figure out if that was planned or not!
@@movielover609 No, typically, the same performer that plays Elle's father, is also the same performer that plays the admissions to Harvard guy, and it's a joke that's been made literally since the musical debuted.
Pretty good but some of the actors don’t have enough energy for their roles. Most notably the girl playing Enid is not even a tenth as aggressive as Enid has to be so even though she’s saying the words it just falls flat.
That poor Emmett, there was a lot of moments where he’d let off of majorly important notes and just go into what sounded like his head voice. Honesty from a guy to guy perspective it was alright but honesty great show overall, love the sets and use of stage room and props.
warner looks like a mix of shawn mendes and tom holland edit 1: a high school production? with a callahan that isn’t abysmal? i didn’t think it could be done! edit 2: i really like this vivian’s hairstyle and blue sweater, it reminds me of movie vivian edit 3: did they change the colour of pilar’s cast?? edit 4: ok paulette can sing while keeping the accent!!! not sure why they changed the song tho edit 5: elle has not only recycled an outfit but has worn it for two songs straight. i’m not trying to be too hard on them but a huge part of the movie and musical is that elle has a new outfit every scene. edit 6: very good so much better!! edit 7: brooke was good! edit 8: not sure why there’s an extra person in callahan’s legal team? i counted elle, emmett, enid, vivian, warner, and another? edit 9: yeah emmett said these four interns and there are clearly five of them edit 10: this elle is definitely channelling reese edit 11: bend and snap was very energetic!! i have seen way too many productions try to minimise the sexual aspect but they just end up making it dull and boring edit 12: shoutout to that one guy who’s playing nearly every extra male speaking role edit 13: there right there was fun!! i loved nikos edit 14: HOLY SHIT THE KISS CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD edit 15: ooh get it vivian!! edit 16: they chose a dress that looks like the one from the movie!! edit 17: WOAH OK GET IT KYLE
In regards to edit 3; Pilar is not designated African American because the original broadway cast Pilar was. None of the characters have designated races. Also, it’s not their fault if they didn’t have a black student, and if they did and there was another student more fitting for the role, it makes more sense to cast them. Just because Pilar was cast as black in broadway doesn’t mean the character is, like I said, none of the characters have races that they HAVE to be.
super super late but i wish they had more energy in their voice bc some singing parts were awkward. the personal essay part, I love the drummers but maybe some music in the background could've made it more exciting. set, costumes, everything else is amazing.
The lead's voice is fantastic but not acting skills I'm sorry. EW needs to be always lively. Also, she has her own charm, unlike Elle in this show, who was absolutely dull. But the Delta Nu girls are gorgeous! Love them!
No offense but I wish people would stop doing the part with Sundeep Agrawal Padamadan, it's pretty racist. Always white people playing a character clearly carrying on racist stereotypes, something I noticed after educating myself more about racism that I didn't think about the first time I watched, as a white person, until thinking back. Just wanted to say to raise awareness.
This is a High School in Wallingford, PA. There might not BE any "Sundeep Agrawal Padamadans" to play the role in a musical. You can't just rewrite the song for ONE minor character!
this is like the fifth legally blonde version ive seen this week
help
Same, lol
Same girl. Same.
me too
Yeah
I thought I watching a dress rehearsal at first. Does the audience know they can laugh?
Great job everyone! You all did great!
When they are speaking and the audience starts laughing they keep going so the audience starts laughing less and less cuz they don’t wanna miss anything
This is really good. They don't do that thing most high school productions do where they enunciate everything tooooo loooong in a way where it doesn't sound like natural speaking, they do it very fluid and normal and the singing is spot-on. Great job guys!
when your school has a budget 😪
Shit my school didn’t even have an auditorium, we performed on the stage in the lunchroom whilst the athletes got their 4th workout area built that year and another gym. 🙃
I love that Vivianne sticks up for Elle in the end!! I can’t explain how important it is. I like that wayyyy better than the movie version #girlpower
Also the fact that she goes back to the overly feminine characteristics that she was criticized for and is still a badass lawyer !!! I love this musical !!
I loved this. The person who played Elle was amazing and so was every one else. The girl who played paulette had a great singing voice. And everyone were good singers and dancers. I rlly want them to fo this at my school but I dont think they will .

Omg an actual good high school production of legally blonde??
Period it’s such a hard show to do
This is so good! Elle is such a hard character to play and Julia did a great job! Also i loved the Gospel Choir, Paulette and Vivienne, and Emmet's actor also was pretty sick! Everything was great
the delta nus did such an amazing job! this was one of the best high school shows I've ever seen :)

i swear no high school can do the “mad props!” bit right. they voice crack and sound stupid, but she tried and did the propose riff rly good :))
Wait when is that?
Bruh, you’re stage is huge.
Also good job 👏
Mackenzie Lefler wrong version of your.
Trinity N welcome to CZcams, no grammar needed.
Ye TypicalMusicCovers well I guess but it’s good to let someone know, in case they don’t know the difference... 🙄
bruiser stole the show
props to the build and shift crew! they did a good job
Even the Broadway version struggles with the "what you want"/"love, I'm doing this for love" but these two are phenomenal!
Bruh this is phenomenal for a high school production
The guy who played Emmet has a future in Broadway! I hope he has a proper vocal lessons❤
The Bruiser is adorable!! She looks like a perfectly toasted marshmallow!!!!!
I love reading the comments and being proud of my school then remember i hate this place
awe they licensed the British version of Ireland (the British version is about a wedding because romanticizing Ireland is weird in Europe) (The broadway cast version is kinda about finding love in Ireland)
edit: spelling
Amazing performance of chip on your shoulder, so so well done!!!
I just started watching this and I already love it! Positive is my favorite hs version!
This is really good! The set is amazing.
omg! best high school production ive seen!
Set- A+
Costumes-A
Singing-A
Dancing- A+
Wow!! They really nailed it....
this was AMAZING for a high school production but that fucking callahan kiss has me cry laughing
the slowest version of “serious” in the history of musical theater
also, Warner is so bad
he really did lack energy doe
dang ur a bit negative
when all the girls stand up during the graduation ceremony 🥺🥺 this is one of my favorite versions
how did they get Leslie Knope to play Elle
Underrated comment
I love how Pilar’s cast always matched her outfit
All time favorite 😊
cripes.... that's a budget
I was confused by the lyric change in Ireland, it’s the first time I’ve heard that version, but it was great singing!!!
Also the subtle way El tied her shoes during chip on my shoulder! It was good, I couldn’t figure out if that was planned or not!
paulette is amazing in this!!
The drumming was so hard to be in time because we’re so far away ugh
Matteo Machado oh hi matteo
Matteo Machado i feel you
The drumming was great
SO GOOD!!! your actors are so talented!!
Bro the dog and the treats and when she was trying to get him to spin lol good job
These kids were great!!
Hi
Of course Elle got in because his father is the director of Harvard!
don`t you mean warner got in because his father is the director of Harvard
@@movielover609 No, typically, the same performer that plays Elle's father, is also the same performer that plays the admissions to Harvard guy, and it's a joke that's been made literally since the musical debuted.
Ex-laker girl #killed it. Need talent like that on broadway.
That was so good. Great job everybody
this production’s professor callahan is so good!!!
I wish my school had a bigger budget, we also onlg have around 600 kids so not manh boys in theatre
omg the drum line during “what you want” sounded like an explosion
Snaps for Strath Haven Hight School!🎉🎉
Pretty good but some of the actors don’t have enough energy for their roles. Most notably the girl playing Enid is not even a tenth as aggressive as Enid has to be so even though she’s saying the words it just falls flat.
The dog stole the show! 😂
Why did werners girlfriends sound muffled? Or did she have a lisp?
Emmet : He (weird breath pause) ll, E (weird breath pause) lle. Seriously, what the He - ll
Unfortunately, music was louder than their mic :(
lol i thought it was a barbie house-
btw so good
That poor Emmett, there was a lot of moments where he’d let off of majorly important notes and just go into what sounded like his head voice. Honesty from a guy to guy perspective it was alright but honesty great show overall, love the sets and use of stage room and props.
This is actually good hahaha I am chocked.
Okay, this is really good quality lol
Actually really good!!
the best part in this play was the parts that had bruiser. by far best actor, prove me wrong.
Why is this so good😵😵😵😧😧
this is insanely good, good job
Charlie gove hi
You guys are pretty good! I love the Serena! I like the hand signals for the doggie to bark! HE IS SO CUTE But the budget.. I hate that!
warner looks like a mix of shawn mendes and tom holland
edit 1: a high school production? with a callahan that isn’t abysmal? i didn’t think it could be done!
edit 2: i really like this vivian’s hairstyle and blue sweater, it reminds me of movie vivian
edit 3: did they change the colour of pilar’s cast??
edit 4: ok paulette can sing while keeping the accent!!! not sure why they changed the song tho
edit 5: elle has not only recycled an outfit but has worn it for two songs straight. i’m not trying to be too hard on them but a huge part of the movie and musical is that elle has a new outfit every scene.
edit 6: very good so much better!!
edit 7: brooke was good!
edit 8: not sure why there’s an extra person in callahan’s legal team? i counted elle, emmett, enid, vivian, warner, and another?
edit 9: yeah emmett said these four interns and there are clearly five of them
edit 10: this elle is definitely channelling reese
edit 11: bend and snap was very energetic!! i have seen way too many productions try to minimise the sexual aspect but they just end up making it dull and boring
edit 12: shoutout to that one guy who’s playing nearly every extra male speaking role
edit 13: there right there was fun!! i loved nikos
edit 14: HOLY SHIT THE KISS CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD
edit 15: ooh get it vivian!!
edit 16: they chose a dress that looks like the one from the movie!!
edit 17: WOAH OK GET IT KYLE

@@evaflorentia3998 Uhhh I think she was talking about the color of the cast on her arm….not her race
Paulette is singing the version written for the show in the UK... they don't see Ireland that way. I believe it's related to government issues.
this i so gdd
super super late but i wish they had more energy in their voice bc some singing parts were awkward. the personal essay part, I love the drummers but maybe some music in the background could've made it more exciting. set, costumes, everything else is amazing.
when margot came in jumping wtf hahah
this is rlly good tho
that wasn't margot - the bouncy blonde girl
this is so good for a high school
ucla is queen
ブルーザーチワワじゃないじゃん!
It’s so good but why do all the sorority girls looks the same
just like real life (bahaha it’s a joke pls don’t take offense to this)

Why that "you're slut" sounds very personal? 🤣
