Children’s Comnmunity Theatre’s production of “Legally Blonde” opens Friday and continues through the weekend at Northern Illinois University’s O’Connell Theatre in the Stevens Building on the DeKalb campus.

The musical, based on the 2001 movie of the same name, follows the story of Elle Woods, a pink-clad, California sorority girl who enrolls in Harvard Law School to try to reunite with the boyfriend who dumped her. Along the way, she is encouraged by visions of her sorority sisters, makes new friends and defies all expectations as she discovers herself.

The script by Heather Hatch is brought to life with music by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin.
