Both LBB and Sheridan did amazing jobs and GREAT Elles. I cried a lot more for LBB's version but I don't know. Both of them are equally amazing and have their own way of portraying Elle. However, I do prefer the door in the American version. Confessing to Elle just seemed... wrong for me.

Deirdre Khoo right? I think Elle would be left with the feeling of 'not you too...'

In the Broadway version, Emmiett's love for Elle is kept to himself, but in the west end version, he confesses his love, it's nice seeing the two different versions and how each production incorporates there own ideas of how the scene is portrayed.

Don't know, the Dutch version had no door and it came across as manipulative. There it goes like "At least stay for me"

This video completely blows my mind, Sheridan is INCREDIBLE - I am so gutted I didn't get to see it when it was still in the West End!

Sheridan Smith is amazing!

The idea here is that he is telling her and she is hearing it but she has already made her mind up, it's a way of making her decision harder and more emotional. I prefer it this way and it makes more sense this way to me but that's just a matter of opinion. :)

This peformance proves to anyone that Sheridan Smith has talent!

You can't get a better Elle than Sheridan, she's amazing!

I can't begin to say how much I love Alex Gaumond as Emmett

I like the key they did this in

That makes sense. The line "the timing's bad, I know" doesn't necessarily work with the Broadway version, since he's not actually telling her. In this context, his whole part of the song fits a lot better. I didn't think I would like this version because I didn't like the idea of her knowing how he felt but still leaving. But after watching this, I think it is way more powerful and emotional than the Broadway version.

Such an amazing actress and singer!!

Warner sounds like a '30s gangster...

Everyone I know thinks I am mad but I love the name Emmett. I love this clip. I think Sheridan is epic. She is extremely talented. So funny and has such a kick ass voice. Elle was perfect for her.

I've seen Sheridan, Susan and Carley as Elle but Sheridan is by FAR the BEST. I think this is one of her best songs, she sings it so beautifully and with so much emotion :') There are no words to describe my love for her, she blows my mind! I LOVE Alex as well, he is great, Lee is good, but no competition. Sheridan & Alex FTW!

When he sings "is it too late can I just say how much I want you to stay" my heart breaks. Every time. aw.

i actually cried watching this at the savoy on saturday :( just shows you how amazing they are!! :)

Oh. My. God. This is amazing! There vocals are incredible! My new favourite song

I saw the Australian cast late last year which was modelled off of the UK production rather then the US one, I was only familiar with the version of this song when they sing through the door so when Emmett confessed his love for Elle right there in front of her my mouth dropped, this interpretation of the song... I HATE IT because it's just to good, to raw, I love it!

Yes,it was him...the Fifth Doctor from Doctor Who!

Also in the west end version there is a little confrontation between the two in Paulette's salon

I have destroyed the replay button. This is mny fav legally blonde video! This scene is just perfect!!!

Well that's a year jerker and a half

her voice is sensational in this.. and she is stunningly beautiful! amazing. ♥ x

This performance is actually better than the soundtracks. She is an amazing live performer.

I love this staging! I can't decide if I like that he tells her right to her face that he loves her and she still leaves, though.

the tone of her voice is so amazing:)

I think I started crying as soon as Duncan tried to act + do an American accent lol. Sheridan and Alex ftw! Can't wait to see it!

Just saw this sung at westend live, it was amazing, nearly cried :)

Oh thanks so much for posting this x

SHE'S SO AMAZING

Sheridans amazing!!!!

I love Sheridan's voice.

one word.. amazing!!!

goosebumps. That is all!

this was 10 times better than the film, which was awesome :)

Seeing this on the 30th, cannot wait

duncan cannot act, sheridan has the most beautiful voice, and alex, dear god how much i love alex. when i went to watch this, this scene had me in floods, and i just felt like dying, it was AWESOME!

Just wonderful!!

this is so much more powerfull than the broadway version holy shit, i got chills watching and was tearing up the whole time

I am on a total Alex high after seeing him on Superstar...and getting on my high horse that he should win despite minimal airtime! I might just have to make do with these videos!

The Broadway was produced first but West end uses the original script, producers changed the Broadway script last minute so the Legally Blond on Broadway isn't technically the original one

Listen I know Laura and Christian are the OGs and we love them but.... I actually slightly prefer the way Sheridan and Alex interpret the roles and their relationship tbh. Something about it just speaks to me. And I vastly prefer this version of the number, instead of the original with the closed door, too.

I love this!!!!

AHHHHH TEARS

i love it

@dippydai Love love loved it. So amazong, cast stunning and the 3 leads came and signed autographs and had pics taken. Lovely people

I admire that each production uses its own stage directions. This production it seems that are nearby Callahan's office or the courtroom. In the Broadway version Elle and Emmett sing between the door of the hallway and Elle's room. I wonder what the book gives for a stage direction. Does anyone know?

The Script doesn't give any specific directions. I think it's just up to the director to decide what is done for this scene.

I still love Laura Bel though and Christian Borle is hot

@bronnyroxmysox same, they can look at each other and be closer :)

i didn't know the musical is still going, i didn't know london liked it

I love LBB so much! And she acts it so well. But I think with Sherdian I find her way more natural. I actually adore this version too much!

I really like this!! I loved the American version but I absolutely love this too! Don't know what people don't like about it!

I can't believe Alex has left! :'( He's so amazing and such a lovely person (I have met him, I not jsut saying it! :P) I saw Lee Mead at West End Live and he wasn't very good, so it's going to fall apart without Alex :(

Thumbs up if this makes you upset every time but you keep coming back to it!!!!!!!

@elphbwckd she was audrey in little shop i think

@pinklover9100 because it's set in America

@KerryEllisFannn I definitely am! :L she is AMAZING :) x

@chocchipcookie26 agreed

@KerryEllisFannn I thought the same when I met her, had a tiny crush, still do lol

They're great, but i prefer the talking through the door that the Bway version does. Anyone know why the edit?

way better w/ the door in between them what the heck!

*their

So much better than the Broadway version of this song. Just... wow. The feels.

@pinklover9100 Because they're playing american people...

@pilchard96 thanks :]

Wow. Just wow. I've watched LBB version of this song so many times and I love it. But Sheridan's just moved me to tears. LBB never did that for me. Wow.

Not having the set change really makes the blocking in this scene very repetitive and boring. Sad, because the performances are great.

The London version is like the US tour in ways.

I love how she sings "beyond". She is the only one who I would consider as good (maybe better) than Laura Bell Bundy.

@sushirocker234 aww i knw same ! i saw her on saturday 6.11.10 n i cried n i actually met her after n sed she made me cry n she was like awww bless ya hahah :L shes just great isn't she ? :D x

how the heck did you get this?

No way

@simsvoiceauditions1 OMG wow, i feel so dumb... thanks

@becky5428 fleeshman for the win

Beautiful voice, I LOVE IT. I think she needs to work on her head voice a bit, too much of a belter. Love these orchestrations, though. Her accent isn't irritating to me, she sounds a bit country on those R's. But it's good. I like her.

I'm sorry? The Broadway version was produced first...

Cant believe Lee Mead is gonna play Emmett - just cant imagine how he can be as good as Alex, think Warner would be a much better part for him :/

I love LBB and she still will be the best Elle Woods in my mind, but I liked Sheridan's version of this song better. The intense emotion in this was stunning! But it may be just how this was staged. Also, I think LBB and being known for her outrageous facial expressions, it's just hard to figure out if she is over-exaggerating or really upset. Sheridan didn't have that reputation, but still definitely better.

She's very good but I don't see her as Elle

Can someone explain to me why they have to speak with American accents???

@HeyItsSarah30

pinklover9100 because the play was set in the US. Just like in Matilda on broadway all of the American actors/actresses had to speak with British accents because that play is set in London.

Why does everyone kinda sorta have a New York accent? And how old is Sheridan here? She looks like she’s a little too old to be Elle.

Everyone Is Really Good specially Sheridan But Duncan Is Capital B Baaaaaaaaad at American Accent and also Acting

I agree, I think LBB was far more suited to play Elle, but Sheridan's performance of this song was the best of all actors who have played this role by far.

BAD PETER. DON'T KISS ELLE. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED. I'm joking I still love you.

Cant see how Lee Mead can play Emmett - well for one he can never be as good as Alex! Think he would be a much better Warner :/

what's with the bad american accents...?

What with Americans doing bad english accents?...

Did they lower every freaking song for her?

Is it just me who feels the Actress playing vivian should have sticked to her natural accent rather than forcing a very dodgy american one?

The American accents are horrible

just saying, but i prefer the original broadway cast:)

It's hard for English people to try sing songs that don't mold around our accents and seen as this song was made for an american to sing it's not going to sound the best

this is so bad compared to laura bell bundy :(
