Elle is a sorority girl who attempts to win back her ex-boyfriend, Warner Huntington III, by getting a law degree from Harvard University. Her personality is totally out of sync with her classmates, who refuse to take her seriously, but she finds a friend in Emmett Richardson, who gives her advice.

When she eventually realises Warner will never take her back, she sets out to prove herself on her own terms.

Jess said: “I think Legally Blonde is a great film and so popular with so many people, especially girls, which is why so many people like the musical. It’s so girly and fun.  My favourite thing about summer school is spending three weeks doing a fun musical with my best friends. It’s great to work with so many new faces as well.”
