This 'Legally Blonde' epitomizes how fluffy musical theater makes a key political point
Briefly

Casting Majesty Scott as Elle Woods in Ray of Light Theatre's 'Legally Blonde' shows how frivolous narratives can shape political perceptions and identities.
The notion that women of color can embrace traditionally feminine roles is powerful; Scott’s casting challenges the all-white fantasy of femininity depicted in the original film.
This production invites reflection on societal structures, implying that the representation of women of color in mainstream narratives can greatly influence our political imaginations.
Through its diverse casting and vibrant aesthetic, the show argues that desires and aspirations traditionally associated with femininity are universal and inclusive.
