Empowering Women through Theater: NU's Production of Legally Blonde

One Book, One Northwestern: The Podcast

During the winter quarter, Northwestern's Wirtz Center produced the show Legally Blonde which highlights Elle Woods through a journey to find the person she loves that takes a big turn when she ends up finding her love of law. It's a funny show that once you take a closer look may have more to it than it may seem on the surface. I talked to two students to learn more about their experience acting in the show, their interpretations of the story and its place in the conversation about representation and women in theater.
