Legally Blonde

Legally Blonde the musical at an outdoor theater was a fantastic experience. This is the first time I had the opportunity to experience legally Blond as a live performance. The theater was located in a lovely park that I had the opportunity to wonder around and explore for a while. In the park you could find many different types of flowers and plants all very well cared for and very beautiful. I included some of the photos I took with my phone to share with you. The weather was very nice for most of the day, and the rain that was predicted only showed it’s self as a very light sprinkle during the performance. The performance was held at a transition of scenes only for a few minutes for the crew to dry of the stage, other than that the performance continued as normal. The performance stared around 7:45 while it was still light out, and the lighting on for the stage did very little to effect how it looked. Glancing around to all the lighting equipment I recognized many of the equipment being used for the musical. I was surprised by the fact that the only defense from the weather for much of the equipment was a peace of wood hanging above the fixture or for movers a small box around the circuit board area. I am curious if they put more covers over the equipment when they run into actual bad weather or what they do to prevent damage to some fixtures. As far as outdoor theater goes the amount of fixtures used was more than what I expected. With The lights at the beginning of the show was limited by the sun but it quickly got darker and the experience became more enjoyable with the stage lights. The actors and stage both gained more presence and power with the stage lights. This being my first experience with legally Blonde it was very enjoyable, including how much the audience was excited to see it. I can see why many people really love this performance. After watching many of the shows in London, I have noticed difference in how lights are designed here vs the shows in the US. They seem to use less brightness in many of their shows, however sometimes I feel like I am missing something because it can be to dark at times.
