Laura is Elle Again!

Kentucky's own Laura Bell Bundy is back in a familiar role. According to Playbill, she's appearing as Elle Woods - the role she originated on Broadway - in the touring show of Legally Blonde: The Musical.

She's stepping in for an injured actor:

Tony nominee Laura Bell Bundy will return to the role of determined Harvard Law undergraduate Elle Woods in the national tour of Legally Blonde, which will next be seen at East Lansing's Wharton Center.

Bundy will step in for the tour's current star, Becky Gulsvig, who suffered a broken toe backstage Jan. 8.

During Gulsvig's recovery Bundy and understudy Lauren Zakrin will alternate in the role of Elle Woods for six weeks, beginning Jan. 13 in East Lansing, MI. Bundy is expected to remain with the tour through Feb. 22.
