Hey guys. Today's song is Omigod You Guys from Legally Blonde: The Musical.
Oddly enough, despite me being the musical guru in my family, it was my sister who found and was watching this one first. Of course I made her stop it and restart with me. This is another musical that we are lucky enough to be able to view in full, because it was recorded and aired on MTV as a kick off to find the next Elle Woods to replace Laura Bell Bundy when she left. And can we just give a little props to Laura for her performance because some of the songs she had to do are insanely difficult. So this musical was created in 2007 with music and lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin and book by Heather Hach, and is based on (well the movie obviously but also) the novel by Amanda Brown called legally Blonde. it's had runs on both Broadway and West End, has been nominated for all kinds of awards and has won some too, including best New Musical at the Laurence Olivier Awards for the West End production. They recently had a revival this year in London over the summer, and I'm sure there will be more in the future. But like I said there is that full recording so give that a watch if you're curious.
Peace.
