Pets In Need Night at "Legally Blonde, the Musical"

Foothill Music Theatre presents “Legally Blonde, the Musical” starring Pippa, a beloved 6-year-old chihuahua terrier mix currently in Pets In Need’s care, as “Bruiser Woods.”

“Legally Blonde, The Musical” is a 2007 musical with music and lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin and a book by Heather Hach. It is based on the novel Legally Blonde by Amanda Brown and the 2001 film of the same name.

The show tells the story of Elle Woods, a sorority girl who enrolls at Harvard Law School to win back her ex-boyfriend Warner. She discovers how her knowledge of the law can help others, and she successfully defends exercise queen Brooke Wyndham in a murder trial. Throughout the show, very few characters have faith in Elle, but she manages to surprise them when she defies expectations while staying true to herself.

Witness Pippa's debut at the Lohman Theater in Los Altos from March 1 — March 17. Click the link in our bio to get your tickets today and use the code “Pippa” to save $15!
