Current Tony nominee Lucy Moss, co-writer and co-director of the Tony-nominated pop musical SIX, directs the musical, which follows Elle Woods, a sorority member who enrolls at Harvard Law after her ex-boyfriend breaks up with her, proving herself to many and staying true to her character along the way.
Featuring music and lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin and a book by Heather Hach, the stage adaptation is based on the novel by Amanda Brown that was previously adapted into an MGM film starring Reese Witherspoon as Elle.

Barbara Houseman serves as voice and text as well as season associate director, while Ingrid Mackinnon serves as season associate for intimacy support.
