The Musical Comedy Guild of Sault Ste. Marie is tickled pink to announce a cast of 42 performers for this spring’s production of Legally Blonde The Musical.

Featuring many performers familiar to local audiences as well as a few brand-new faces, you won’t want to miss this dynamic, larger-than-life spectacle!
Ariella D’Agostino leads the cast as Elle, a bubbly sorority girl whose life is turned upside down when her boyfriend Warner (Brody DeChamplain) dumps her to attend Harvard Law. Determined to win him back, Elle charms her own way into the prestigious program but finds herself out of her element as she encounters new peers Vivienne (Brianna Niro) and Enid (Kyla Robinson), navigates unfamiliar academic expectations from Professor Callahan (Mike Doherty), and forms a connection with law TA Emmett (Christopher Walls). With assistance from a chorus of her Delta Nu sisters led by Abby Barsanti, Alex Briglio, Danielle Ritsema, and a very memorable new hairdresser friend named Paulette (Kerri Findlay), Elle comes to realize her own enormous potential. Also featured is Lauren Kinney as Brooke Wyndam, a fitness influencer facing murder charges who needs Elle’s help.
