The Death of an Era and The Birth of an Era


So, I sit amongst the winter wonderland of NYC 
(on my now permanent lay off ) 
and this will be the last post of CHORUS CHRONICLES.  With my departure from the tour, the blog will sadly end.  Its been a great run, and I am supremely grateful to everyone for the journey.  

It all ended with a great week in Tucson---which involved MONSOON rains, a visit from our producer HAL ( who threw a rocking PIZZA PARTY), celebrating at HOTEL CONGRESS (where Dillinger was caught), and the fact that I can now announce who some of the new people.

For Kate/Chutney-----Liberty Cogen.
















For Pforzheimer----Jason Kappus



And for Callahan.....just wait.



And lastly, here is the inaugural video by of the sizzling and hilarious Laura Bell.
 It has already skyrocketed to the most streamed video on CMT, and is working its way up the charts at the speed of light.  NO SURPRISE THERE!!!!!!   
Also check out Brian Patrick Murphy  giving you full facials the whole time.....PRICELESS!!!!!

And here it is..........





Thank you for following this blog for the last year and a half. Also, thank you for supporting live theatre.  Without you guys, we wold not have a livelihood that pays rent.  

Til then LBers across the world....

Good night and Good luck!

Shanti Shanti and Namaste!

HAPPY NEW YEAR and NEW ADVENTURES


















Dear 3 F's: 

Fans, Friends, and Family

This gap in writing has been the longest to date, and for that I apologize wholeheartedly.

Its a New Year, and with it come new adventures and things to come for the LEGALLY BLONDE.



Since last I wrote, we had a killer Halloween AROUND THE WORLD PARTY in Detroit.


RAYSON AS MR HANKY!!!!!


Also, we lived in sunny south Florida for a while.  While we were there,we got to see our sister Lauren Zakrin kill it as Sandy in the national tour of GREASE, along a bunch of our other comrades from NYC.  YOUTUBE her performance to see some vocal brilliance!!!!


Alson, BPM got the honor of flying out to star opposite the original ELLE WOODS herself, LAURA BELL BUNDY, in her 1st country music video. It comes out Jan 18th I think, so keep your eyes peeled. Its on ITUNES, and  I say that he is gonna blow up like Cortney Cox in the Bruce Springstein video. And only fitting seeing as how he is a huge BOSS fan.  But most importantly, LBB is going to be the launch of a whole new era in Country Music.  You mark my words!!!!  Combine the sultry dance skills of Britney Spears, with the story telling prowess of Madonna, and throw in the irreverent humor of Ellen and you have LBB.  

I smell a CMT AWARD WINNER!


Legally Blonde KOREA has opened and  Legally Blonde London opens tonite....

Our head flyman, Andy Bergdorf a.k.a. BIG SEXY has left us, to be replaced by the man infamously known as Squatch (so hilariously true you couldn't possibly make it up).


Leslie Mc came back to replace Sara Shepard as KATE/CHUTNEY, but will now be leaving the same time as me to be in GREEN DAY's Bway Musical

AMERICAN IDIOT!!!!!  

Shep is currently starring in FUNNY GIRL at the DRURY LANE in Chicago. Check out these Rockin pics!!!! SHE' S A STAR!!!!!

And, I soon will be leaving to star in 1st Offbway run of ROMANCE ROMANCE  since the original in the 80's- produced by ACTIVE THEATRE COMPANY and the New York directorial debut of Marc Robin.

And as of now no replacements have been announced for either of us (which is a lie though I am not allowed to say who due to the fact that I could be sued for breach of confidentiality--isn't that intense). So stay tuned...


Cause Ken Land is also leaving to go be in the Bway Revival of PROMISES PROMISES!!!

Get ready for an original broadway cast member with a TONY award to appear...


Our friends (Original cast members Mamie Parris and Josh Walden)  in the Bway Revival of  RAGTIME have opened and then sadly closed as of Jan. 10th.  

It was beautiful---Constantine and I sat dead center in the first row and wept like children. There maybe have been some hand holding and laughing as well, though I will never admit to it. The last hoorah, though, must go to Mamie. She got to play MOTHER the last 3 performances!!!! I haven't checked for any bootleg video on youtube but I am sure there will be some.


We also now have 3 Elle covers- with the fabulous Kathleen Monteleone leading the pack most matinees. 


Whilst splitting her time betwixt and between the ensemble and the matinee Elle (most 8 show weeks), she and her hubby launched also launched a new website. Its about living savvy on a conservative budget.

We closed before the 2 week holiday break in Hershey, PA---which is BEAUTIFUL!!!  

A great holiday party involving SECRET SANTAS (or CHANUKKAH HARRYS as it may be) was a great way to lead us into the New Year.


Oh also, the end of our tour has been solidified.  The tour will be in Toronto all summer ( congrats you Canuks) and then close at the WOLFTRAP outside D.C. next august.  And then, LB will be at every summer stock and college from here to Djibouti, Djibouti!!!


Its almost been a year and a half since this journey began...and more adventures are to come.  SO STAY TUNED!!!!! FULL OUT !!!!! XOXOXOX Pforzy
