"Legally Blonde" and Strike Update

Legally Blonde is one of the shows that has shut down because of the strike by the Stagehands on Broadway, but according to this story, you have another chance to see the televised version. As I mentioned in this entry, the show is loaded with tons of energy, several terrific songs, some amazing feats of staging and a really talented cast. Recommended!

MTV will broadcast the final two airings of the show on Thursday, November 22 at 1:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., complete with sing-a-long lyrics on the bottom of the screen!

Embellishing TV musicals with subtitles and pop-ups is back in style, as you can see in this entry by my pal Angela Henderson at her excellent Stay Tuned blog. Looks like High School Musical 1 & 2 are getting the pop-up treatment.

The strike has shut down quite a few shows, but the ones that continue are doing quite well, including Mary Poppins and Xanadu. You can read more about that right here.
