Harvard's beloved blonde takes the stage by glittery pink storm in this fun and upbeat adaptation of the hit film and award-winning Broadway musical.
Based on the award-winning Broadway musical and the smash hit motion picture, Legally Blonde The Musical JR. is a fabulously fun journey of self-empowerment and expanding horizons. The show's instantly recognizable songs are filled with humor, wit and sass — leaving cast members and audiences alike seeing pink!
Legally Blonde JR. follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes, snobbery and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. When Elle's boyfriend, Warner, dumps her and heads to Harvard, claiming she's not "serious" enough, Elle takes matters into her own hands, crafting a showy song-and-dance personal essay and charming her way into law school. Befriending classmate, Emmett, and spunky hairdresser, Paulette, along the way, Elle finds that books and looks aren't mutually exclusive. As Elle begins outsmarting her peers, she realizes that law may be her natural calling after all.

Broadway Baby 1-week Summer Camp
June 15-26, 2026
Entering K - 2nd Grade
Fee: $225, $100 deposit
Students entering Kindergarten through 2nd grade will shine in this fun, introductory musical theatre camp. Campers learn what it takes to rehearse for and perform in a show while studying age-appropriate music, choreography, and basic theatre techniques.
The camp culminates in an ON-STAGE THEATER PERFORMANCE! Expect lots of singing, dancing, smiles, and fun throughout the week.
What makes our musical theater camp experience unique? Each and every participant is featured and receives individual attention during their 3 weeks with us. We divide each show into 2 casts, opening up more lead/supporting roles opportunities and featured time on stage for all performers.
Also, our 3-week campers perform on our mainstage, using the set, lights, mics, props, and effects from the adult production that just took place. During the rehearsal process, our students work closely with our team of professionals benefiting from one-on-one training. Students work on every aspect of the production, gaining on-stage performance skills as well as backstage knowledge. We empower our students to work as a team and assist each other during the production, whether it be with set changes, props, costume, make-up, etc.
Parents and students continue to rave about the production value and professional experience they gain attending our camps. Our focus is on developing the young performers' skills and love for theater, not just shuffling around a large group of kids on stage.
Our fun and educational summer camps giving kids the opportunity to sing, dance, and perform! Each day includes singing, dancing, rehearsals, and theatre games led by professional choreographers and musical directors. The 3 weeks culminate in stage performances at Rivertown Theaters using the set and props from the mainstage production.​
