the only thing i dont rlly like about the revival is all the delta nu girls wearing pink. in the original they all had their own colors and personalities and now it just seems like they are all just bg girlies for elle

My biggest issue is how modern looking the show is. The fact that the girls are dancing in front of a ring light is too 2019 and beyond. The story takes place in the early 2000’s and i wish it was more like that.

I love how when Grace and Lauren started singing the crowd went insane love you queendom

It immediately strikes me as a very different kind of performance of Legally Blonde. I like the diversity of the cast. However, I am not as much of a fan of some of the performance choices. It feels to me like an aggressive take on the show. In the original production, Elle is a very pure and good character who pushes herself to excel while elevating everyone along the way. There were elements of this that didn't feel that way for me, for example, the shop scene, where the characters seemed catty more than anything else. The lead singer had a very good voice though, nice and clear on the high notes.

I love this so much! I love the fact that they have all genders (including non binary,) all body types and all races. One thing that I would possibly change is Margot’s Voice to a lower voice to fit his/her/their voice better!

When I saw the dog suit the first time I thought they were making a meme of the Cats 2020 movie.

This is cool but something about the timing is off... it feels more like they're rushing through their lines as fast possible rather than reacting to orher characters. Like at the half loop pucker scene it feels like Elle already knew what the clerk would say. Idk just comes off as unnatural to me.

I loved every single Minute!

Courtney sounds amazing of course!!

Love this so much 💕💕

wait is the idea that they're filming a tiktok or facetiming Elle? because either way it makes no sense if it's a dancing tiktok why would they be talking about/to Elle and if it's FaceTime why would they be dancing 😭
