Legally Blonde Jr. AuditionsAUDITION ALERT! Calling all performers ages 8-18! Join us at auditions for LEGALLY BLONDE JR.!
Based on the award-winning Broadway musical and the smash hit motion picture, Legally Blonde the Musical JR. is a fabulously fun journey of self-empowerment and expanding horizons. The show's instantly recognizable songs are filled with humor, wit and sass — leaving cast members and audiences alike seeing pink! Legally Blonde JR. follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes, snobbery and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. When Elle's boyfriend, Warner, dumps her and heads to Harvard, claiming she's not "serious" enough, Elle takes matters into her own hands, crafting a showy song-and-dance personal essay and charming her way into law school. Befriending classmate, Emmett, and spunky hairdresser, Paulette, along the way, Elle finds that books and looks aren't mutually exclusive. As Elle begins outsmarting her peers, she realizes that law may be her natural calling after all. Legally Blonde JR. features large, energetic dance numbers with an expandable cast of sorority sisters, law school students, hairdressers and more. |

Character Breakdown
Elle Woods
Elle Woods may appear like a typical blonde California sorority girl, but don't count her out. She is hardworking, optimistic and tenacious.
Gender: Female
Margot, Serena, and Pilar
Margot, Serena and Pilar are Elle's trio of best friends and Delta Nu sisters.
Gender: Female
Kate
Kate is a featured Delta Nu sister - the academic of the bunch.
Gender: Female
Warner Huntington III
He is Elle's ex-boyfriend and caught between his former life with Elle and his newfound serious East Coast life with Vivienne.
Gender: Male
Admission Officers
Winthrop, Lowell and Pforzheimer are three admissions officers of Harvard Law School who eventually admit Elle into the program after some critical evaluation. These performers should be great actors, capable of showing some age and character.
Gender: Any
Emmett Forrest
Emmet Forrest has had to work hard his entire life to get into Harvard Law School, and nothing is going to come between him and becoming a partner in Callahan's law firm, except maybe his surprising love for Elle.
Gender: Male
Law Students
Aaron Schultz, Sundeep Agrawal Padamadan and Enid Hoopes are three featured law students with academic credits that would intimidate anyone. These are fun roles for actors who can really bring their unique selves to these parts.
Gender: Any
Vivienne Kensington
Vivienne Kensington is the very opposite of Elle, if judging only by demeanor. She comes from a very conservative East Coast background and is everything that Warner needs to make a serious move to become a lawyer.
Gender: Female
Whitney
Whitney is Vivienne's law school friend and partner in mischief when it comes to bringing down Elle.This is fun role for a less experienced performer who has wonderful energy and presence.
Gender: Female
Professor Callahan

Gender: Female

Gender: Male
Chutney Wyndham
Chutney Wyndham has a really bad perm and an even worse attitude. She is Brooke's unhappy stepdaughter who is actually guilty for killing her father and framing Brooke. This is a role for an actress who may be new to the stage but has hilarious instincts.
Gender: Female
Kyle
Kyle is the UPS delivery man who Paulette has her eyes on each time his job brings him to the salon. Kyle should be a great actor who may have an Irish Jig in his back pocket.

Salon Employees
Part of Paulette's entourage at the salon who are very adept at the "Bend and Snap."
