Legally Blonde
Natalie Joy Johnson

Legally Blonde started life as the hit movie with Reese Witherspoon, and has made the successful transition to a fabulous Broadway musical that's been nominated for 7 Tony Awards. Cool Cleveland's Thomas Mulready had the chance to meet up with Natalie Joy Johnson, who plays the role of Paulette in the touring production (after playing the lesbian role of Enid on Broadway). "Who doesn't love the movie, and who doesn't love those dogs?" she exclaims, except that Natalie is allergic, and has to handle the bulldog in the show. She also talks about the travails of traveling, especially for someone like Natalie who takes two hours to pack. Legally Blonde: The Musical runs through Sun 11/23 and Broadway Buzz pre-show presentations take place 30 minutes before each show, and a post-show talk back with the actors is held on Thursdays. The VIP "Elle's Lounge" features the "pink carpet treatment" with hors d'oeuvres, drinks and goodies. Check the site for details and tix. www.PlayhouseSquare.org
