The End of "Purple" and Looking for a New Elle

Lots of Broadway news running around out there, including:

- The Broadway musical The Color Purple will be closing on February 24. The show, based on the popular book and movie, is running at the Broadway Theatre.

- MTV has announced that it plans to air a reality show this spring titled Legally Blonde: The Search for the New Elle Woods. Auditions to find Laura Bell Bundy's replacement in the Broadway show will be held in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Orlando and Nashville. (Hopefully the show will be better than Grease: You're The One That I Want.) You can read more about the story right here.
