Heather Hach Legally Blonde
Legally blonde was first released in 2009 and had their first performance at the palace theatre, in New York. The musical was based on the film legally blonde and a novel by Amanda Brown. She wrote her novel in 2001 and the movie came out the same year. The book was by Heather Hach, also starred in Freaky Friday and What to expect when you’re expecting. The choreography is Jerry Mitchell and, the lyrics and music are by Nell Benjamin and Laurence O’ Keefe. The author Heather Hach retains some of the movie's funniest exchanges, such as when Warner says to Elle, "You got into Harvard?" and Elle reply, "What? Like, it's hard?" Hach expanded Elle's characterization? The protagonist Elle Woods seem to be looked at as rich and spoiled. Elle never had to try hard in anything she did because she always had money to pay for it. People did not really take her seriously in anything she did because she never had to work for nothing.
Jerry Mitchell is known for being one of the best choreographers. …show more content…
A lot of females fall deeply in love and seem to get off track and unfocused. Instead of following her dreams she follows her ex-boyfriend to Harvard Law School but had no clue she was going to end up finding her true self and live her dream. Yes, everyone make mistakes and unintelligent decisions, but do not let that one silly mistake ruin their life. Elle woods is driven to do her best, no matter how ridiculous is sounds. She gives hope to women to accomplish what seems impossible. She firmly stands up for what she believes and encourage people to do the same. Personally I think the overall musical was okay. The movie was better than the musical for a lot of different reasons. The movie had a bigger audience than the musical. I do not think they should have made a musical for Legally Blonde. The musical has a power to connect with people on an emotional level that people can connect

    Then there is the ever famous book by Anita Loos and the movie based upon it, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, starring Marilyn Monroe. Released in 1953, this story about two showgirls-a clueless blonde and a sassy brunette. While perhaps highlighting the "fun" side of blondes, this certainly did nothing to showcase their intelligence.…

    Tracy Turnblad From Hairspray

    Tracy Turnblad from Hairspray is a beloved character who is not afraid to stand up for what she believes. She is the main character in the story Hairspray, which is about an oversized girl wanting to be on her favorite dance show. While trying to earn her spot, she has to face entitled, traditionally pretty girls who constantly make fun of her size and she has to help beat the oppression of racism because she believes that everyone is equal. This character is different than me because I have never been an “overweight” person before. I do not think that I will ever be very big, so I do not understand what trials she would have to go through in her life.…

    Character Analysis Of Dillion And Jazz Luther In The Book 'Define Normal'

    In other words, she sees the looks teachers give her, and it inspires her to do better in her school work and prove to them that her image does not define her personality. Her mother tries to get her to act like the rich kid she is, but the more her mother tries, the more she rejects the idea and rebels. She wears black and dyes her hair unnatural colors to hide where she really comes from, a rich family. She also hides her love for playing piano because she does not want to be classified as a rich kid, but doing so gets classified as a punk or a goth. Antonia, the other main character, is classified as smart or a teacher’s pet, so a teacher’s pet and a punk; that is not usually the types that are best friends. In the beginning of the book, they did not even want to be seen together. By the end of the book , that did not matter anymore because they were proud of each…

    Miss Skeeter's Character In The Novel

    A character in the novel that I found interesting was Miss Skeeter because she wasn’t like the other women in the book. Instead of getting a man after high school, getting married and having children, she went to college and graduated, unlike the other women who either dropped out of college because they found a man or didn’t even go because they already had one. Miss Skeeter didn’t worry about finding a man and getting married, she focused on her studies so she could have a good career, earn her own money and get a good job. Her best friends were Hilly Holbrook and Elizabeth Leefolt and through the novel we see her become more and more distant from them as she is different from them and has different views from them, which created more of…

    A 1 page Analysis of Gender Stereotyping in the Movie 'Antz'

    The movie showed instances of gender stereotyping most strongly. Starting with the women characters, there is a laundry list of notable instances, but I will only name a few. We can start with Azteca, Z's friend and fellow "worker". While Z is a typical male who is competitive and wants to move up in the world, Azteca maintains a somewhat "typical" female response. Instead of encouraging him, she tells Z to just smile, and happily accept his place, even if it is an awful life where he is to literally digging ditches his whole life. This example simply highlight the stereotype that women can, in effect, be "yes men", the phrase further illustrating the perception of weakness in females. Another time when this theme appeared was when the Queen was talking to her daughter, who was, in an old-school sort of way, betrothed to a man not of her choosing, the general. While the daughter complained, the Queen simply urged her to be complacent, and accept her fate, because it is "the best thing for everyone". Another instance, and one which I found particularly hilarious, was the woman wasp(no coincidence there, of course). When Z and the princess were in trouble, she insisted to her husband that he help them, because it was the humanitarian thing to do. It was presented in such a way that harkened to the proverbial housewife image, whereby the…

    A Streetcar Named Desire as a Southern Gothic

    Our introduction to the cast begins with Blanche, arguably the most off-putting of all the personalities presented. Blanche comes to New Orleans on the brink of insanity only to see that her sister, once the perfect southern belle just like Blanche, has moved away from that antiquated way of life and into the up and coming, industrialized world of gruff immigrants and compromised living space. The weather beaten belle does not adapt as well as her sister does, however. She immediately contradicts her ladylike air by downing whiskey. Blanche holds herself as a well-off young woman when her wardrobe is comprised of last season’s ensembles and costume jewelry. The over-all juxtaposition of Blanche’s idealized image of herself versus what she really is versus the environment she is introduced into creates an overall feeling of unease. That juxtaposition comes with painfully coquettish dialogue with her brother-in-law, adding to the strangeness of the situation.…

    Paulette Argumentative Essay

    Being born into a family of wealth probably is the only thing Paulette will ever know. Having a father, the town’s mayor, and a mother, a successful actress, who both brought the bread home made Paulette only have a dream life that people would always want. Starting kindergarden, she would have all the nice dresses, and was only sent to school if she was prepped to act like a princess. It was like having a beauty pageant child go to your elementary. But the down fall was that people didn’t understand that she was going to rule the school for years to come. So being ignored in the younger years really made her sensitive, but family oriented/reliant. Every day after school, she would carefully walk to her bus, and sit right in the back, where no one was allowed to sit with her. Well, except her little doll Cynthia. It was like a crutch that lasted only for a little…

    "At first the two sat down to write a light-hearted teen comedy, but as Hardwicke (director) probed Reed (who played Evie, and helped write the script) for specific details about what teen life is really like now, a much more riveting story emerged. Reed began revealing a world fueled by confusion, anger, rebellion, and fear of not fitting in; a world rife with sex, high fashion, eating disorders, shoplifting, self-mutilation, and drugs. Hardwicke was floored."…

    The Ideal Woman In Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid

    The film, ‘The Duff’ reflects the stereotypical social groups within a high school that essentially defines a person’s status and personality. The protagonist, ‘Bianca’ discovers that she is the considered ‘duff’ in her group, an acronym meaning ‘designated ugly, fat, friend.’ Upon this discovery, Bianca, like Eliza in Pygmalion, asks for help from her neighbour, Wesley, to transform her into someone that is considered “date worthy.” Her refusal to accept the role as ‘The Duff’ ultimately causes disruption and chaos within the school cliques. Sandel redefines the image of what is considered the ‘ideal woman’ amongst teenagers, by showcasing Bianca’s sense of uniqueness, humour and…
