Master's notes: Featuring the winner of MTV's Search for Elle Woods series, Bailey. She did a wonderful job and very cute in the role. She also did not copy Laura's Elle and made it her own, which was great. Amber as Paulette did a wonderful job in the role and has such a big voice and very pretty. I never get tired of this show as it is so much fun. Beautifully captured with terrific closeups. A
Trading notes: T/W: This video contains a PETA advertisement at the beginning, which contains graphic images and may be distressing. This was included by the master on release.

Trading notes: Great capture of the first preview of this unique production! Features early wigs and costumes that were eventually changed before opening night. Act 1 is partially obstructed by an annoying head on the left side but they move for Act 2 which is completely unobstructed. The dogs will haunt your dreams.

Trading notes: first recording of this show since their official opening/press night so it includes some line changes and all 3 elle wigs. video has 2 very short blackouts at unimportant moments and otherwise is completely unobstructed. it's a matinee performance so the colours show up really nicely - I'd give it a 9/10 tbh. includes bows.
