Legally Blonde: The Musical
All videos are in VOB unless otherwise noted. Most screenshots are not my own: the dates that are underlined are the ones that I have taken (I only download the musicals/plays when I have time to patiently wait for my internet). As my internet connection is very weak, if you request screenshots please note that it will take about 3-4 hours after I read your email to provide screenshots to you.

Kelly Felthous, Gaelen Gilliland, Barrett Hall, Paul Jackel, Will Ray, Kate Loprest
