Perky brunette fights for law and order in Desert Star comedy
It’s the trial of the century! In Desert Star Playhouse’s new comedy “Legally Brunette: Not All Dumbs Are Blonde,” former NFL star AJ Samson is on trial for murdering his ex-wife, and thanks to his crooked attorney, he just might go free. It’s up to perky Elle Woods, fresh out of law school, to discover the truth. This hilarious musical comedy for the whole family plays through Nov. 12
New assistant prosecutor Elle Woods is assigned to help assistant DA Marsha Clunk with the biggest case of her career—the prosecution of AJ Samson. To put AJ behind bars, they’ll have to beat Melvin Farkas, the famous—but crooked—defense attorney. He’ll use every dirty trick in the book to win the case. Elle and Marsha will need the help of detectives Lenny Brillo and Joe Hunk—as well as a hilarious assortment of characters like Judge Judy and Napoleon Dynamite—to crack the case.
Written by Ben E. Millet and directed by Scott Holman, “Legally Brunette: Not All Dumbs Are Blonde,” includes one of Desert Star’s fantastic musical olios following the show. The “Zombie Prom Olio” features musical numbers of a spooky sort, along with more Desert Star-style comedy.
