I absolutely love Legally Blonde (the musical). Elle is such a great character!!

The audience is introduced to her in such an amazing way, with her mathematically trying to figure out what to wear. “It may be perfect for a blonde, but I’m not that blonde. I may be in love but I’m not stupid, lady, I’ve got eyes.”

Elle in general is so good. She’s so smart and she’s legitimately the most interesting character to follow.

But!!! The best!!! Part!!! At the end of the musical, when she says she’s leaving, Emmett confessing that he loves her isn’t what convinces her to stay. Instead, it’s the other female characters showing their support for her!!! The way the girls in this movie support each other!!! The “Greek Chorus” is perhaps my favourite example, if only because they’re so supportive of absolutely everything Elle does!!! It’s so sweet!!! “We came to see our president be legally blonde”? Best line, I love it, it’s so good.

But also, the romance between Elle and Emmett is so fucking good. Emmett supports her through absolutely everything. Emmett is such a great person, but also his musical cue is an oboe, which means I’m biased to like him anyway-

“They laughed at me like they’re laughing at you. We can’t win if we don’t follow through.” “Though it’s hardly my business to say, could it be the real thing in your way is the very man you’re trying to impress?” “But I know it’ll all be worthwhile when I win my first lucrative trial, and buy my mom that great big house out on the cape.” “As I hugged my mom and told her, with the chance I’ve been given, I’m gonna be driven as hell.” All of Emmett’s lines are so good, all of his songs are perfect, Emmett is the best character ever.

I love the ending, when Elle proposes to Emmett. It’s the character coming full circle. She begins the musical by planning an outfit that will be perfect for Warner to propose to her to; “This dress needs to seal the deal, make a grown man kneel, but it can’t come right out and say bride.” “I’ve got t leave Warner his pride.” She’s fulfilling the stereotypical idea of the woman having to be proposed to. She can’t propose to him or look too desperate to be proposed to, because that will ruin his “pride.”

Elle proposing to Emmett at the end shows such an amazing character growth. She knows she doesn’t have to fulfill the stereotypical female role in their relationship. She proposes in a room full of people, proving that she is no longer concerned with her partner’s “pride.” She proposes by saying “Emmett Forrest, please make me the happiest woman I know.” She proposes in the stereotypical male style, but it’s so fucking sweet because Emmett is so excited and they just love each other so much-

But the best way to portray the character growth is two specific interactions. To set it up, the Greek Chorus mentions, in the very first song, that being married won’t come between Elle and their “sacred bond of sisterhood.” Later in the same song, the Chorus sings: “We love you guys.” And Elle responds: “No, I love you guys.” Note that she specifically says “I,” because presumably, Warner doesn’t actually care all that much about them.

Now, in the finale, the Chorus repeats the line, this time to Elle and Emmett: “We love you guys.” But, this time, Elle and Emmett respond together: “No, we love you guys.”

Emmett supports Elle’s interests to the point that she feels comfortable sharing them with him. She feels comfortable introducing her best friends to him and he actually likes them. It comes full circle. Elle finally has someone who supports her completely, just like she supports Emmett completely, they make each other happy. It’s so sweet.

Also, it’s kinda funny because Emmett is Elle’s sugar baby-

thinking about how in the legally blonde musical, warner and callaghan are the only main characters to not reprise another character’s melody. elle reprises serious, a song warner made into a solo while elle wanted to make it a duet; emmett reprises elle’s “what about love” from what you want; vivienne and brooke reprise legally blonde; even emmett reprises omigod you guys at the end of the show. whether this was intentional to showcase their selfishness or not, it’s still really interesting how every other character at some point sings parts that other characters have sung previously in the show.

You know, Legally Blonde the musical makes a good point of showing how following people's expectations of you, even if it makes you miserable, isn't only hurting you, it's hurting everyone. And this point isn't made through only through Elle, but also Vivienne and Warner. Like, obviously, Elle played the part of 'serious lawyer girl', even though it wasn't her, and was only able to save the day when she went back to her true self. That's the whole moral of the story. But Vivienne only dated Warner because they were a 'good couple' and when he proposed, she looked fucking miserable. She looked uncomfortable, and clearly only said yes to stick it to Elle- a horrible decision she would regret shortly after. But Warner? Warner's the interesting one. His whole song is about the expectations his family puts on him, how he has to go to Harvard, even though he's not smart enough, how he has to marry a Jackie, even though he wants to propose to Elle (he says how he talked to his parents about proposing but they said no). He's good at law, don't get me wrong (he got the internship), but he doesn't like it. In the reprise of Serious, he expresses how much he misses UCLA, and having fun. Harvard is not the perfect place for him. And because he's miserable, he makes everyone else miserable. I don't know, I kinda just ranted, but ya. Don't do shit you hate just because everyone expects you to.

Elle Woods will always be one of my favorite characters when it comes to breaking stereotypes, even the people who know her don't expect her to be as smart as she actually is. Her character is just so good that even in the musical (which i love) there's nothing that doesn't feel Elle, she's very well written

#i will always love her #elle woods #legally blonde #legally blonde musical
