Win tickets to see Laura Bell Bundy, Broadway’s original Elle Woods
Welcome to Fresno, Laura Bell Bundy.
If that name doesn’t ring a bell for readers out there, then you aren’t up on your “Legally Blonde” lore. Bundy was the first Elle Woods in the Broadway musical. (And hardcore theater fans know that originating a role is a very big deal, indeed.) Bundy is in town this weekend to offer a master class and mini-concert for cast members and the general public in the upcoming Children’s Musical Theaterworks production of “Legally Blonde,” which opens Friday, April 13, at the Fresno Veterans Memorial Auditorium.
And you can win a pair of tickets to the mini-concert and the CMT production of “Legally Blonde” itself!
Bundy’s master class is noon-4 p.m. Sunday, April 8, at the theater. It will follow the typical format, says CMT board president K.C Rutiaga: The cast is prepared to perform scene work, group numbers, and principal solos and duets from the show with Bundy’s guidance and suggestions. The class will take place on stage with the observing non-cast members watching up close from the audience. Bundy also will do a Q&A session with the cast and audience members involving the Broadway production of “Legally Blonde,” her career, and the industry in general. Tickets are $40.

The mini concert that evening at 7 p.m. will include Bundy singing “Popular” from “Wicked.” She will perform a group a song from “Legally Blonde” with the CMT cast, and she’ll sing the show’s powerhouse number, “So Much Better,” from Legally Blonde. Also in the lineup: several special former CMT guest performers. Tickets are $20. (You can bundle both the class and concert for $50.)
