    With this version I like to think that Elle never saw that paper, instead she smoked weed

    It’s so ironic that this song is all about realising that what you thought you wanted was not as good as what you’ve got now and that is legit what happened to Autumn. She didn’t need Elle she’s gone on to better things.

      Exactly right. Whilst she was runner-up in the search for Elle Wood for the musical, she's had a much richer and varied career than Bailey Hanks, performing in various productions up to the present day being acclaimed for her performances both Off-Broadway and in other productions and she's won two awards for her role in a musical, Chicago's Joseph Jefferson Award for Best Musical in 2009 for her role in the Outer Critics Circle Award-nominated musical "Tomorrow Morning" and in the same year she was awarded the FringeNYC Overall Excellence Award for Outstanding Actor for originating the role of Abby Lawrence in the comedy hit: "A Contemporary American's Guide to a Successful Marriage, 1959". Since 2011 she's been in Off-Broadway productions and she did star as Elle Woods in "Legally Blonde: The Musical" at the North Carolina Theatre in 2012.
      And although Bailey Hanks did win this competition and therefore starred as Elle Woods in the musical for 3 months in 2008 on Broadway and later that year played Sharpay Evans in a production of High School Musical for about a month, besides a short stint on tv and in two 'Step Up' movies, she has not had much of a career performing and she's now does not seem likely to return to performing as she has settled down to marry, start a family, and is now a hairdresser. This won't necessarily stop her from returning to singing or performances but compared with Autumn Bailey doesn't seem to have made as much of winning this competition as she might have. It does seem that it's actual runners-up rather than winners of singing competitions and other reality tv competitions who have more successful careers as performers .This may be to do with the drive the runner-up has after they just miss out on the top spot and also frequently the actual reasons someone wins a competition has more to do with other matters than with actual talent. So often in shows like "The Voice" and "Australian Idol", to name two well-known Australian competitions that follow the format of the US versions, and also the US versions we find that it is often the runners-up who go on to have much more successful careers as performers.

      There was no standby for Elle. There were two understudies. When the show closed they were Kate Rockwell (Margot at the time) and Autumn (Ensemble).
