Maybe Now I know I love him so much!😂😂 My school performed the musical for legally blonde and this really cute guy played Emmett and he was perfect for the part! He's a really good actor and singer and he's really funny!
I love the movie and the musical too, they're both great. It's just that they're about different things. In the film, the focus is on Elle and her alone proving how much she's worth, the romance is just something of an aside. I actually like that, I mean swapping one dude for another would sort of diminish what the story was about, that's why it didn't get more emphasis.The broadway show is a romantic comedy. Nothing wrong with, of course, but its got a slightly different focus.
I was first introduced to Legally Blonde when my high school performed it. I loved it so much that I went to see the movie and... was disappointed honestly. There are a couple things the movie does differently that work arguably better than the musical, the main one being in the movie Elle decides on her own to succeed at Harvard while Elle in the musical doesnt really care until Emmett motivates her. I understand why that it irks some people (it did for me, that was the one thing I didn't like about the musical) but even though Emmett motivates her, Elle goes on to prove herself multiple times without Emmett's help. He was more of a catalyst for actually caring about Harvard. I also dont believe that developing the romance more devalues Elle's character in the musical at all. I personally really loved it, it is leaps and bounds above what was presented in the movie. I dont have a desire to re-watch the movie because I actually find it mean-spritird and catty. I haven't grown to like the actors and characters in general in the movie. But the musical magnifies the very best elements of the movie and truly transforms it into a heart-warming story. Is it corny? Yes, but I love it. Everytime I watch it I feel good and extra motivated to be the best person of myself.
@@rkah6187 I see it as less romantic comedy more establishing and solidifying emmet and elle's chemistry with each other as opposed to the movie where emmet and elle hang out twice maybe thrice but the movie still insisted they end up with each other. Also "immediately swapping dudes" is an overstatement as well, just because they were both "romantically available" in one scene together doesn't mean they are immediately a couple. Emmet saw a struggling student and saw himself in her and pushes her to discover her self-worth back until she was strong enough to stand for herself, it wasn't until "take it like a man" he started to evaluate what he was feeling. granted in some cases the movie did better in doing elle's independence better but we are talking about their relationship here, and in reality we people are often blinded by desires and can need a push every now and then. Besides elle's "badassery" wasn't diminished. that is my two cents on the matter.
He doesn't even think of her as a friend yet, but when he says "I want that sweatshirt back" you can see Elle get a little bubbly and just I love that smile, this cast is amazing
How did I just realize this -- Elle *Woods* and Emmett *Forrest* -- his last name is different in the musical (was Richmond in the movies) but the woods/forest connection foreshadows that they will be together
Every young girl should watch this. A great example of a man that cares about someone he's getting feelings for as a person and human before how pretty she is.
This makes me want a boyfriend/girlfriend more than any other love songs. I mean I love Christian and the way he is happy because she is successful is so charming to me.
This part of the musical is always so inspiring! It gives me chills every time!!😍 Emmett is so much like my older brother because he's always giving me great advice and inspiring me to study harder get my work done which is really good. And it's so catchy when Emmett and Elle sing😍 And the part when Emmett says "I haven't slept since 1992"😂 I wasn't even alive then but I still feel him😂 I just love the part when they first meet in the movie and then they propose at the end of the movie! Legally Blonde will always be one of my favorite movies and musicals!❤
I really love the guy He says what he thinks but is not too disrespectful Plus I love the line I have a chip on my shoulder the size of boulder I really wanna be like this guy lol
Did you guys notice that in 0:42 he calls Warner a man because he doesn't know who he is. But in 7:50, he calls him a guy. Kind of like calling him a boy, but more subtly?
there are a lot of ways that this musical captures the frenetic atmosphere of both the film and courtroom culture but one of the most captivating ways (that the actors all execute incredibly well) is the was they interrupt each other in song. like in this clip when elle goes "well why did you come" as a way of being like "you don't need to condescend me to make your point"
I'm such a musical nerd...sometimes when I'm out running (like a 5k or so), and I didn't feel like bringing my phone with, I'll go through this entire song in my head...it's great cause it's a long song! lol.
Elle Broadway Omg yesssss!!😍💕 The whole musical (and movie) is so inspiring and entertaining at the same time! Great advice for being successful! My school just performed the musical and it's got to be one of the best performances we've ever done!❤ The songs are all so beautiful and inspiring sometimes I can't stop singing them out loud haha!
Who else thinks the part when Emmett sings is super catchy?😍 Also is it just me or at the beginning of the song, the background music kind of sounds like a right tone on a phone? Because it sort of does to me
Elle: Why`d you come? Emmett: Okay... I WAS A GIRL IN A VILLAGE DOING ALRIGHT THEN I BEGAN A PRINCESS OVERNIGHT NOW I GOTTA FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT RIGHT SO MUCH TO LEARN AND SEE Just me? Okay
This was the first time I’d seen Christian Borle Love his performance here, and upon finding his other work, I realized that he’s one of the most talented actors on Broadway
I'm glad that Emmett gets this number pretty much to himself. Emmett, to me, is a pretty thankless role. Yeah, he gets some great lines, but most of the time he's just Elle's straight man.
YOU GO GLENN COCO !!! (for those of you who arent attentive to details that barely matter emmet was played by the same guy as glenn coco in mean girls)
Listening to this inbetween my breaks while studying for Persons and Family Relations in my first sem first year of law school. Gives me the inspiration that I need, i dont care what other people might say. Also Emmett x El forever

I LOVE THE WAY EMMETT LAUGHS AT HIS OWN JOKES
Christian always laugh at his own jokes in his real life!!
Bea Manaligod Ikr it's hilarious😂😂
I’m convinced that Cristian thinks he’s so funny he actually laughs at the jokes.
@@hannahbanna_ he's right lol
Just. Christian Borle was so charming as Emmett.
He’s also charming as a human lol
I love him.
he's also charming as willy wonka too lol
Hes so yas
He is charming in everything
I can tell that Emmett starts falling for Elle in this song and it’s so cute when he smells the paper
Also this is the song where Elle starts to fall in love with her career
yess and take it like a man is emmett realizing that he does
This song gets me driven as hell
little miss Woods, Elle
I´m actually watching it to get motivated to study
Marlena Powers lol same
Inga Sall omg I’m literally getting ready to do my homework right now!
IT GIVES ME ENERGY!!!!!!!!!
"I haven't slept since 1992"
Me: *wasn't alive then*
Still me: "I feel you, man."
OMG YESSS THAT IS SO RELATABLE😭😂😂
My wife was born in 1992 I was born in the 60s.
I've haven't slept since before I was even in the womb
@@sirdevinthorn6264 that's kinda weird
@@Ali-it1xt pretty much
'What's up... Doc?'
'Hello... Kitty.'
Lol, I love Emmett :D
Chaya Ocampo me to
Maybe Now I know I love him so much!😂😂 My school performed the musical for legally blonde and this really cute guy played Emmett and he was perfect for the part! He's a really good actor and singer and he's really funny!
"The chip on your shoulder... the room just got colder." I think that's my favorite part.
G
Especially his adorable little giggle afterwards ❤️ lol
Mine 2
I didn't understand the meaning :( My first language isn't english and I didn't get the joke. Can someone explain me?
+raristudies this just means the tension in the room fires up. Cold=angry/icy. And it means Elle just got angry with Emmet
he’s never getting that sweatshirt back
Given the way the musical ends, Emmet probably got it back after they got married.
@CJCroen1393 Maybe marrying Elle was the long play for getting that sweater back, haha
"The room just got colder" favourite line ever!
I love how they built up Emmett and Elle’s relationship the way they did it’s just so charming!
That's why I prefer the musical over the movie. They show Elles and emmett's realtionship build
@@theatrekidlilly I think some movies that work better as musicals are Legally Blonde and Heathers but musicals like Mean Girls work better as movies
I love the movie but it just doesn't do Elle and Emmett's relationship justice
Christy S I also like Emmett's character better here.

I love the extra dialogue of Emmet, that they dropped in the cast recording since I listened to it first. It gives him character
Which one?
@@eunac3037 The cast recording doesn't have the hello kitty line or the line about emmett drinking 3 redbulls
I ship them SO HARD
DaemoniumExcelsum SAME
Omg same they are the first couple I shipped!!
I can't get over the way he says "malum prohibitum." I don't even know why, but I love it so much!
trentmcjiivers yes!!!
Musical emmett is better than movie emmett
Yes, I agree
facts
100%
Oh, you are absolutely right! I feel more develop this emmett's interactions with Elle than the movie
Obviously but movie Warner is better than musical Warner
"so go on, heres my head just hit it with a rock" is by far the best line in any broadway show
I love how Christian Boyle can sing this beautifully, but he ACTS the entire time. It's damn effective.
He doesn't even think of her as a friend yet, but when he says "I want that sweatshirt back" you can see Elle get a little bubbly and just
I love that smile, this cast is amazing
Does anyone else always get chills from 2:32-2:40? It's just his delivery both vocally and emotionally. It's just... good stuff.
How did I just realize this -- Elle *Woods* and Emmett *Forrest* -- his last name is different in the musical (was Richmond in the movies) but the woods/forest connection foreshadows that they will be together
Emmett: "Shampoo and conditioner in one!"
Elle: "AHHH!"
Same Elle, same😂❤
ahaha
@Neha Kodali .... no? 2-1 scares me. The worst i’ve ever seen was 4-1 😳
@Neha Kodali FOUR IN ONE
WHAT IS THE OTHER ONE 👁👄👁
SHAMPOO CONDITIONER BODYWASH ???? WHATS THE FOURTH
@@hannahbanna_ detergent?
@@hannahbanna_ face wash?
Am i the only one who heard Elle say "me too" when Paulette said "i love this guy"?
Summer Hope totally!
I saw this on Broadway when I was in middle school, now as a senior in college I use this song to motivate myself to write my final papers.
How are you six years later? :D
Literally why I am listening to this lol
This is why Emmet is one of the best characters in musical history! ^.^
Truest of the true
And Elle and Emmet is probably the healthiest couple in all of musical theatre
"hair care? i love this guy!"
I want to marry Emmett.
Lima Bean me too
All of us do
Honestly same
Same
i want to marry christian borle
you can tell how Emmett is slowly falling in love with Elle just by the small gestures and details
4:54 Emmett is me during finals week, addicted to Red Bull.
Is your 5th or 6th you don't know but you love it!👍
It’s like my brother with redbull 😂
12 people dont have a chip on their shoulder
12 people arent driven as hell
12 people will end up dropping out of Harvard
"What's up, Doc?....heh." XD fav line right there.
Every young girl should watch this. A great example of a man that cares about someone he's getting feelings for as a person and human before how pretty she is.
I love the way Emmet says ‘okay…’ like he’s had that rant STOCKED for a while
"What is this? My 2nd or 3rd...? Who knows, but I am... LOVING IT!!!"
This makes me want a boyfriend/girlfriend more than any other love songs. I mean I love Christian and the way he is happy because she is successful is so charming to me.
i love how he sings but the room just got colder and i don't know how many i drank my 2nd or 3rd but im loving it.
He is handsome, talented, and smart.
did anyone else keep getting chills throughtout the whole thing?
I love how these two perform this song together. Great chemestry.
did anybody else hear his voice crack on trial? or love the way he looks at her when he says woods comma elle-3 amazing chemistry
Gillian Marino such good chemistry it ended the marriage between him and his wife.
I SO agree! So glad he finally got his Tony, even if it wasn't for this. Christian Borle is amazing!!!!!
The musical gave Elle’s and Emmet’s relationship so much more depth and charm 💖 I love it for it
I swear how did Emmett get the plastic of the book so fast?!?!?! Like that’s actually sooo hard.
Whenever I lose motivation in bio classes, I always come back to this song for some reason.
The audience response to the indirect kiss on the red bull was amazing 🤣👌
This part of the musical is always so inspiring! It gives me chills every time!!😍 Emmett is so much like my older brother because he's always giving me great advice and inspiring me to study harder get my work done which is really good. And it's so catchy when Emmett and Elle sing😍 And the part when Emmett says "I haven't slept since 1992"😂 I wasn't even alive then but I still feel him😂 I just love the part when they first meet in the movie and then they propose at the end of the movie! Legally Blonde will always be one of my favorite movies and musicals!❤
They both act and sing so well! Like seriously, singing is one thing, but acting *while* singing is a whole other thing, and they nail it!
Elle: Well, why'd you come?
Emmett: *And I took that personally.*
Guys. GUYS. The indirect kiss via Redbull
0:04 amazing how his mind goes immediately to Bugs Bunny when seeing Elle in THAT outfit. He really doesn't go to parties a lot, huh...
I love it when Emmet goes "The room just got colder" :D
This is my favorite part in all the musical
Me 2 I love this song it's one of my favourites
I just love the "ohh the room just got colder" part it's so cute and charming!!
4:12 definitely my favorite part.
I really love the guy
He says what he thinks but is not too disrespectful
Plus I love the line
I have a chip on my shoulder the size of boulder
I really wanna be like this guy lol
*lil gasp* the room just got colder
My goodness this was 11 years ago and I just started watching this.

I just get so happy when emmett says “little miss woods,Elle”and idk why it’s just so cute
This song♡♡♡ So inspirational!!!! Reminds me to always keep trying♡♡♡

Right now I am riding to my highschool exam listening to this. Thank you Legally Blonde The Musical.
Just got cast as Emmett in a production of Legally Blonde - seriously looking forward to this one!
"What you need is to get to work" What my brother tells me every day and night haha
'the room just got colder' favourite line in the whole show !
Elle being dramatic and Emmett’s jokes it’s too perfect
Who else thinks the part when Emmett sings is super catchy?😍 Also is it just me or at the beginning of the song, the background music kind of sounds like a right tone on a phone? Because it sort of does to me
*ring tone. Not "right" tone. Oops lol
Listening to a song about being driven as hell to achieve academic goals while staring at my page of missing assignments.
Who else is kind of in love with Emmett??
K i n d o f ??
Everyone
Me!!
Anna Lambert The real question is who doesn’t?
It seems like the whole fanbase.
His face at 2:50. hell yea
Elle: Why`d you come?
Emmett: Okay... I WAS A GIRL IN A VILLAGE DOING ALRIGHT THEN I BEGAN A PRINCESS OVERNIGHT NOW I GOTTA FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT RIGHT SO MUCH TO LEARN AND SEE
Just me? Okay
if your on tiktok this comment AGED WELL
"so go on here's my head...just hit it with a rock!!!!" best quote ever!!!
Wearing white shoes after Labor Day is considered Malum In Se! Man I love this musical, its so funny 😂
"I haven't slept since 1992"
Same
His fucking voice is so good!!!!! This song pumps me up sooo much
Am I the only one who thought the part with the menorah was hilarious?
I didn't really get it
I loved it. It was so random.
Andrew Doehrman it is a hanukkiah not a menorah
NinjaPanda Playz Hanukkah is the holiday, and the Menorah is the candle-holder.
Hypocritical Sailboat no a hanukia has 9 handles the menorah has 7
This Emmet is the best...
Indeed
Each time I hear "This is my friend, Paulette" line, I immediately think of:
"It'S CoSeTtE-"
We just did this play in a Michigan high school and my little chihuahua played Bruiser Woods. I love this scene!
The room just got cOLdEeerrRrr
Now that I've been in the same position as Emmet (two jobs and class), I can sympathize with him a lot more.
" what is this. my second? My third. I dont know. But I am LOOOOVING IT!!"
this was my discovery of Christian Borle
This was the first time I’d seen Christian Borle
Love his performance here, and upon finding his other work, I realized that he’s one of the most talented actors on Broadway
Listening to this while studying for finals. Always gives me inspiration.
Love me some Christian Borle!!!
Christian Borle is my god.
I'm glad that Emmett gets this number pretty much to himself. Emmett, to me, is a pretty thankless role. Yeah, he gets some great lines, but most of the time he's just Elle's straight man.
"you may find a chip on your shoulder *gasps* the room just got colder" i will always come back to this video for this part
The part from 4:00 sounds so much more epic in this version than the soundtrack album version
YOU GO GLENN COCO !!!
(for those of you who arent attentive to details that barely matter emmet was played by the same guy as glenn coco in mean girls)
Listening to this inbetween my breaks while studying for Persons and Family Relations in my first sem first year of law school.
Gives me the inspiration that I need, i dont care what other people might say.
Also Emmett x El forever
This song gets me driven as hell when I am writing a story!
That moment when you realize Emmett is, in fact, wearing white shoes after labor day.
i want not any emmett but THAT emmett
wear a hat
Idk why but I think that this Emmet is more convincing than the one in the movie
Christian Borle...If only I were older.
He's a fantastic actor, sings beautifully, handsome..
Mm.
Emmett is the reason why my expectations of men are too high
