Legally Blonde The Musical: A Fanmade Audio Production
Project Overview
If you've ever wanted to be a part of a musical, but don't have the means to take part in-person, this is the project for you!
My goal with this project is to create an entire audio production of "Legally Blonde: The Musical," featuring all of the dialogue and musical numbers from the show. The entire production will be put together privately on Drive, and our covers of the songs will be posted on YouTube, along with some pieces of dialogue.
*This project is not for profit or financial gain in any way. No money will be made, by myself or anyone involved, at any point.*
Deadline is currently September 20th but may be extended depending on amount of auditions.
In your audition submission, please tell me your vocal range if you know it, your most comfortable vocal part (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass), and any experience you have with singing or musical theater.
Requirements & Info
- You MUST have a good-quality microphone in order to take part in this project, especially as a lead or featured role.
- This project will not be completed in a few short weeks, or even months. I'm a full-time elementary school teacher during the year, and I understand that many of you likely have school, jobs, or other busy schedules. Because of this, I am willing to be flexible with deadlines. That said, the only projects I have ever had to cancel throughout my many years of voiceover and singing work have been because of a lack of commitment. Please do not audition for this project if you will not be able to give it the time it needs. If you become too unreliable, I will be forced to recast your role.
- I will always take everyone's preferences into account when making my casting decisions. However, please be aware of the possibility of being cast in a role that you did not audition for.
- Communication for this project will take place primarily over email. You must have an active email account that you check regularly in order to participate, as this is how I will send updates regarding the project.
- Upon being cast, depending on your role, you will be assigned a vocal part for ensemble sections (soprano, alto, tenor, bass). Because of this, you must know how to read music, as I will be providing the libretto for the show. You must be able to identify your notes and harmonies according to your assigned vocal part.
- Ensemble members will likely be given bit parts in scenes/songs as the project moves along.

Hi! Thank you to everyone who has sent in such great auditions! They all sound fantastic, but I still need some more participation if I'm going to be able to make this full cast happen. Due to this, I've decided to extend the deadline by two weeks in the hopes that I'll get some more submissions. Auditions are now due by October 4th!
Please sing the provided sections from "Chip On My Shoulder" and "Legally Blonde" a cappella, no backing track, and record the provided lines.
There's a chip on my shoulder
And it's big as a boulder
With the chance I've been given
I'm gonna be driven as hell
I'm so close, I can taste it
So I'm not gonna waste it
Yeah, there's a chip on my shoulder
You might wanna get one as wellWhat about love?
I never mentioned love
The timing's bad, I know
But perhaps if I'd made it more clear
That you belong right here
You wouldn't have to go
Cause you know that I'm so much in loveHello, I'm Emmett Forrest. Class of aught seven. Represent. Welcome to the hallowed halls of Harvard Law. I know firsthand how hard you've all worked to be here today, so let's go around and share a bit about yourselves.
Please submit a recording of the Ireland (Reprise), a cappella, no backing track, and record the provided lines.
The Irish fear nothing and no one
They keep fighting til everyone's dead
I'm not sure where this metaphor's goin'
I just felt like it had to be said
There's a guy at that party who loves you
Something most of us only dream of
You go out there and you get some Ireland
The country of whiskey and loveOh, you are so borrowin' my secret weapon costume I got in storage, Elle. I'll just dust off the mothballs, and wait'll you see it...now go and do this, honey. 'Cause if a girl like you can't win back your man, there's no hope for the rest of us.
Please sing the provided section of "Legally Blonde Remix" a cappella, no backing track, and record the provided lines.
Get back in the game
Back on the case
Take a good look at my face
I'm not a fool
And as a rule
I do not bondBut I see a star
You're my new muse
You've got the best freakin' shoes
And you lit a fuse
So go show 'em who's
Legally blondeYou're not going to make it through the semester, let alone get Callahan's internship. Even if you keep going...and going...and going. Face it, bunny: One of these things is not like the other. Someday, we'll nominate Supreme Court justices, and you'll...tan. Run home, Elle, and change out of your skank costume.
Please sing the provided section of "Serious" a cappella, no backing track, and record the provided lines.
I'll break it down now, baby
So baby give me your hand
I've got some dreams to make true
I know that you'll understand
It's time to get serious, time to get serious with youI did talk to my parents about it, Pooh-Bear, but...they expect a lot from me. I'm going to Harvard Law School and my brother's at Yale Law - so's his new wife, and she's a Vanderbilt for Chrissake.
Please sing the provided section from "Harvard Variations," a cappella, no backing track.
I did the peace corps overseas
Inoculating refugees
In family clinics that I built myself
From mud and trees
I fought to clean up their lagoons
And save their rare endangered loons
And let a protest march against insensitive cartoons
Please sing the following section from "Whipped Into Shape," a cappella, no backing track, and record the provided lines.
I want you whipped into shape
When I say jump, say "how high?"
You know you're doing it right
When you start to cry
If you don't look like you should
You've got to whip it, whip it, whip it good
I'm sorry ladies, no escape
Till you're whipped into shapeIt's beyond highlights, Elle. It's a disgrace. My secret is nuclear and if it gets out, I could lose my fitness empire, which means everything to me. If I tell you, will you Delta Nu Sister Swear not to tell anyone?
Please sing the following section of "Blood in the Water," a cappella, no backing track, and record the provided lines.
Your blood's in the water
So would you please withdraw?
And if you return be ready to learn
Or is that unfair? Oh wait, I don't care!
That's just how I rule
In life as in school
With fear and shock and aweEmmett, let me be very clear. This is your chance, and I gave you simple instructions - lead this legal team and get me an alibi. You're zero for two. Everyone, field trip's over. Let's go. Back to work...except you two. I'd rather not see ratty corduroy or legally blonde again today.
Please sing the provided section from "Omigod You Guys," a cappella, no backing track.
Dear Elle, he's a lucky guy
I'm, like, gonna cry
I've got tears comin' out of my nose
Mad props, he's the campus catch
You're a perfect match
Cause you both have such great taste in clothes
Of course he will propose
Please sing one or more of the provided sections from "Omigod You Guys" and "Harvard Variations," a cappella, no backing track. Smaller bit parts in various scenes and songs will be given to ensemble members as the project moves along.
Daughter of Delta Nu
Soon to be fiancee
Now that a man chose you
Your life begins today
Make him a happy home
Waste not his hard-earned wage
And so he does not roam
Strive not to look your ageI won a Fulbright and a Rhodes
I write financial software codes
But that's a challenge I've outgrown
How many yachts can one man own?
Some say that I'm a pompous creep
Somehow I don't lose that much sleep
Why bother with false modesty?
Harvard's the perfect place for me
