Great December 28, 2009
Mrs. P. A. Mahood (UK)
This was a replacement for a previous copy which wore out! It brings to life the musical which is fantastic fun and playing the cd reminds me of a great evening - in fact 2 as Ive now seen it in NY and London! So buy it and sing along.
SO MUCH FUN IT SHOULDN'T BE LEGAL! November 5, 2009
Blake Rettenhold (UK)
When I first heard that they had made a musical of Legally Blonde (a film that I love!), my first thoughts were "What the hell do they think they are doing ruining the good name of Legally Blonde?" To say I was a bit sceptic would probably be the understatement of the year.
Seriously though, give this musical a chance because it really is pure gold! The songs are really catchy, upbeat and full of energy, and recorded by a hugely talented cast led by the amazing and beautiful Laura Bell Bundy.
Full of wit, energy and some real laugh-out-loud moments, this truly is an incredible soundtrack for an incredible musical which easily matches and, yes, probably surpasses the film!
The show really captures all of the humour and heart that we saw in the film, but adds the magic of Broadway and properly develops the things that could have been done in the movie but weren't, such as the much under-used relationship between Elle and Emmett (seriously, did they really say more than a handful of words to each other in the film before he proposed?)
In short, you'll feel So Much Better if you buy this!
Several quotes from the show pretty much sum this soundtrack up:
- "When I'm lonely or feeling dejected, I play this and it never fails" - Paulette
- "Oh, we've got to buy this! What are you blind?!" - Elle
- "OMIGOD YOU GUYS!!" - Elle's Greek Chorus
- "I see no end to what you'll achieve..." - Vivienne

I've always loved musicals, and this is one of my favourite musical soundtracks. The music is fun and querky and tell the story.
My favourite song in the musical is "Positive" and "So Much Better" but I luv all of them. I can't wait to go and see the London version!!
 A fun and funky new musical November 26, 2007

I could not wait to listen to this soundtrack and I wasn't disappointed when I did. The songs are fun, upbeat and completely original. As a soundtrack it works really well with songs that move along the plot and give strong character based lyrics. Unfortunately if you want a spot on replica of the film you will not get it but the writers have done a brilliant job adapting this from the screen to the stage, keeping the original plot as closely as possible and yet making this a strong individual show.
For me the best number was the opening one "Ohmygod you guys!" it completely captures the Delta Nu s with a great sense of fun, easily integrating dialogue and establishing Elle's character from the onset.
If I were to say something bad about it, it would be that the characters for me did not entirely live up to their portrayal in the movie. Some are missed out, some are added and others exagerated. There is a real sense of a divide between the goodies and the baddies, with Elle as the obvious heroine.
As the show progresses the tone of the piece also changes and the songs become less individually memorable. If you are looking for solo songs there are not many but the show has some great duets between Elle and Emmet. The only clear solo being Paulette's song "Ireland" in which she describes her love of all things Irish, especially the men.
Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Strong original music, great storyline and catchy tunes you'll be humming to yourself all day.
Incredible. August 2, 2007

At first I was skeptical about 'Legally Blonde' being a musical - I thought what a dumb idea. But how very wrong I was. Laura Bell Bundy says, 'Our musical is treated very much like how Elle is treated when she first arrives at Harvard' and I agree 100%
But this soundtrack is incredible, that is the only word for it.
'Positive' and 'Serious' are two of the funniest songs around as well as 'Ireland' and 'There! Right! There!'
Laura Bell Bundy gives the most outstanding performance as Elle and the rest of the cast are perfect especially Orfeh who's power ballads make you want to laugh and cry at the same time.
A MUST HAVE FOR YOUR CD COLLECTION!
