Legally Blonde

The London stage production of "Legally Blonde: The Musical" hit it big at the Laurence Olivier Awards (the British equivalent of our Tony Awards) on March 13. It won Best New Musical, Sheridan Smith won Best Actress in a Musical for her role as Elle Woods, and Jill Halfpenny won Best Performance in a Supporting Role in a Musical as Paulette.

How is this West End news relevant to Unionville? Because one of the show's producers is Frank ("Buddy") Martin, who lives near Chatham! Mr. Martin, who is also producing artistic director of Act II Playhouse in Ambler, has produced "The Story of My Life," "9 to 5," "Burn the Floor" and "Time Stands Still" on Broadway and "La Bête" as well as "Legally Blonde" in London.
Congratulations!
