I haven’t heard the Broadway cast recording, so can’t compare. I worked on the Alliance Theater’s Hairspray last summer, so yes, I do know the sound problems are significant in that performing space. Break a leg this weekend.

Personally I have seen this show many times by Alliance, being in this orchestra, and I think this cast is doing a fabulous job. As for the sound quality, we can only work with this old facility in the best way possible. The cast and crew have done an excellent job dealing with these issues and the heat. One thing I must bring up is that there was no mention of this absolutely fantastic orchestra. Not one word in your review! This is a MUSICAL and THIS orchestra is GREAT! Legally Blonde is one of the best new musicals for the score, and this is a tough one. The orchestra must be in top shape to do this show justice, and our LB band at Alliance is definitely up to the task. It would have been nice for you to have acknowledged this outstanding orchestra and our music director. We have received many comments from the audience that our orchestra sounds like the CD of the Broadway cast recording. Positive compliments like that tell the tale. What I say to all reading this is, come and see this great production of Legally Blonde. You will have a great time and be Bending and Snapping for days to come!
