Character Breakdown:
Elle Woods - Elle is a bubbly, upbeat sorority girl who seems superficial at first glance, but proves to be intelligent, kind-hearted, and incredibly determined. Her journey from heartbreak to Harvard Law reveals her true strength and integrity.
Skill Requirements: Strong triple threat performer – confident singer, dancer, and actor. Needs great stage presence, energy, emotional range, and comedic timing.
Warner Huntington III - Warner is Elle’s ex-boyfriend, a charming but self-absorbed young man from a wealthy background. Focused on his political future, he breaks up with Elle for not being “serious” enough.
Skill Requirements: Strong singer and actor. Must be able to balance charm and snobbishness while playing the “perfect on paper” type.
Emmett Forrest - Emmett is a smart, kind, and slightly nerdy law student who becomes Elle’s closest ally at Harvard. He sees her potential before she sees it herself and ultimately becomes her love interest.
Skill Requirements: Strong singer and actor. Needs emotional depth, warmth, and likeability.
Paulette Buonufonte - Paulette is the outspoken, quirky hairdresser who befriends Elle and supports her journey. She provides both comedic relief and heartfelt moments, especially in her own love story. A Boston accent is a plus!
Skill Requirements: Strong comedic performer. Needs good singing skills and the ability to portray vulnerability beneath a brash exterior.
Professor Callahan - A tough, intimidating law professor who serves as an obstacle for Elle. He values ambition over empathy and power over people.
Skill Requirements: Strong actor and singer with a commanding presence. Needs to convincingly shift from mentor to antagonist.
