Woodgrove High School Presents Legally Blonde the Musical

Woodgrove High School is in the midst of preparations for its Grove Theatre spring production, Legally Blonde the Musical. Legally Blonde follows the iconic story of sorority girl Elle Woods, who applies to Harvard Law in order to win back her ex-boyfriend—but ends up finding herself and discovering her passion for law along the way. This comedic, high-energy show about self-discovery is a must-see.

Woodgrove is a participant in the National Capital Area Cappies, a theatre and journalism program for high school students across Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC that evaluates and presents awards for excellence in acting, crew, student critics, and overall production. Woodgrove will be competing against over 50 other schools this Cappies season.

Student leadership is a very important part of the Cappies program, with the majority of the show being student-driven. These student leaders take on significant responsibility and are currently working hard to make the show the best it can be.

Sophie Brzozowsky, Musical Director, said, “I make rehearsal tracks for all the songs in our show and work to teach all the songs during rehearsal. The Cappies aspect of the show motivates me to put in as much work as possible.”

Artistic Director Gracie Vosburgh said, “My job as Artistic Director is to create a strong visual vision. I designed the set, working with tech leadership to figure out their needs.”

Sophomore Molly Den Herder, who plays the beloved golden-haired protagonist Elle Woods, loves how fun and engaging Legally Blonde is. “The experience has been amazing; the cast and crew are incredibly talented and supportive. I love the large choreographed numbers in the show,” Den Herder said.

Director Beverly Pruzina shared her appreciation for the show and the NCA Cappies program. “There is such a special reward for all schools who participate in Cappies NCA,” Pruzina said. She is excited to see her students’ work come together during performances. “Opening Night, I sometimes can’t sleep because I’m so excited for my students.”
