The following was submitted by Boston Children's Theatre:

What do you get when you combine the extraordinary talents of 18-year old William Goldstein from North Reading as ‘Callahan’, with one tiny Chihuahua, and a Boxer named Rufus? The musical comedy hit of the summer season- LEGALLY BLONDE. LEGALLY BLONDE will be performed by students ages 14 – 19 on August 2, 4 and 5 at The Governor’s Academy in Byfield. 

William has performed in numerous BCT productions including “James and the Giant Peach,” “Reflections of a Rock Lobster,” “To Kill a Mockingbird,” “The Velveteen Rabbit,” “Spring Awakening,” “A Year with Frog and Toad,” and “The Drowsy Chaperone.”  “The energy in this production is infectious,” reveals BCT Executive Producer Toby Schine, who is also directing LEGALLY BLONDE.  

“With choreography by Carl Rajotte, the Artistic Director of the Palace Theatre in Manchester, NH, the cast is having a blast on stage. It’s the perfect musical to showcase the vast musical comedy talents of our students.” 

LEGALLY BLONDE is based on the wildly popular film starring Reese Witherspoon as ‘Elle Woods.’  Elle is a pink-loving effervescent sorority girl who enrolls at Harvard Law School to win back her ex-boyfriend, and gains a lot more in return.  Nominated for 7 TonyÒ Awards, LEGALLY BLONDE was written by Heather Hach with music and lyrics by Lawrence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin. This high energy, leave the theater humming musical is directed by BCT Executive Producer Toby Schine with choreography by Carl Rajotte, Artistic Director of the Palace Theatre in Manchester, NH.
