The reason the show closed is not because Laura left and Bailey took her place, blaming Bailey for the show closing is rude and absolutely ridiculous. Ticket sales were already low. Think about it - people think this show is a joke. Legally Blonde is not for everyone. When I tell people about the show, they think the fact that they made Legally Blonde into a musical is hilarious. It's the unfortunate reality of the situation. I personally loved it when I saw it and wish that it hadn't closed :(
why does everyone hate bailey? she is amazing as elle in what i have seen at least and people just hate her because she was the first replacement and replaced LBB. i feel that she sung this song so much better (hehe) here than when she recorded it because they edited her voice so much and they didnt have to.
gosh she has improved so much!! this is amazing. i wish people would stop talking about laura bell... stars of shows are always replaced... and the replacements are not supposed to be carbon copies. that would just be so boring. bailey ROCKS.
omg i agree so much! i remember at the beginning of the show when they first sang So Much Better she was off key a lot but now shes so much better! lol
i don't think anyone will ever top laura bell bundy, especially since whenever someone takes over someone else in a role they originiated it's always a comparison. but i think for never having any formal broadway training she's doing a phenomenal job
Why doesn't she twist when they're singing "kind of a cool ironic twist"? That's what I've seen all the other Elles do. I still love Bailey though, I always wanted her to win.
@@angeliquemariel2916 Twisting would mean decreasing voice quality. It's really difficult and for a 18 yo fresh out of high school is really impressive
guys you have to forget about LBB, like shes gone and its unfair to be constantly comparing the new elles to LBB, like LBB was the original Elle so of course she's going to be brilliant when she made Elle Woods!
I'm the biggest LBTM fan there is, and if I don't hate Bailey, neither should you, she awesome! Laura Bell beats her out but about 80% But shes still amazing, i mean shes so cute as the part to I love her.
I did a little research ( asking my vocal coach and everybody else) singing ( in this case, half-belting) for a show 8 times a week tends to take a toll on your voice. They lowered it for LBB not only because it was straining her voice, you can develope nodules (sp?) like Julie Andrews.
o m g she is like 100% better than the tv show already! i bet she totally rocks elle woods! an absolutely perfect take over from laura bell! snap snap!
thanks for this! she's a good elle woods on broadway but she isn't theeee original. never will be =[ ThankGoodness i saw laura before she left, i wanna see bailey too!
She was the best for this role of all ten girls, no doubt in my mind. I'm glad that Autumn's her understudy, though. Her voice is phenomenal. I just want to see Bailey perform so badly!
My List: 1) Laura Bell 2) Haven Burton 3) Reese Witherspoon 4) Annaleigh Ashford 5) Bailey Hanks 6) Becky Gulsvig I'm sorry...something about Becky's Elle really irritates me. A lot.
have they lowered it for here??? sounds well better with LBB... cant wait for it to come to london... i hope they do a 'Wicked - London' and bring the ordignal Broadway lead to open it in London!!!!
wow. then you obviously don't know theater. its sooo low because its in someones lap basically and those seats were great. I've seen the show 6 times and you can't beat that. If you go 5 more rows back ur gna be in shit seats. the best rows are row 1-4 duh!
to follow LBB has to be pressurious for Bailey because she's being judge whether or not she's LBB, not Elle Woods. I noticed somethings in the clip that LBB did that Bailey chose obviously not to do, to show ownership of the role. I'm pretty opened. I wonder if they considered Reese Witherspoon at all.
Who is the Serena it looks a lot like Leslie Kritzer the original Serena but I know it isn't, but I do know that it is not Tracy Jai because she has different hair.
I feel like she doesn't really show emotion in her voice...I dunno. I mean, she sounds fantastic, I just suppose I'm so used to the diversity of LBB...But, you know what? Kudos to her! :)
Personally I'm not a huge fan of Bailey, and I prefer LBB. But, she couldn't have stayed on forever. I mean, we have to get used to listening to someone that's not LBB. Cuz Legally Blonde's going to be on Broadway for awhile.
That's pretty smart of you to analyze like that. Bailey claims that she wants to be Glidna in Wicked. If she does, I will lose faith in it. And I love wicked. The casting through tv was a dumb idea. They should have picked up a Glinda to do Elle. Not Bailey. She ruined the show.
I wonder why she didn't spin during a cool ironiq twist? but i can immagine that it's unbelavlebly hard to spin like that in heels why trying to sing and not fall off the stage lol
I am not saying that I dont like her or think that LBB was better I can see that Bailey improves a lot from the reality show,but I dont think she is good enough to be elle.Her voice's great but def NOT strong enough to be a broadway star. But I think she will get better of doing the show 8 days a week.
Let’s address something, I know people have but I just want to say it. -yes the key was lowered because Laura damaged her voice. -no one can beat the OBC -stop comparing -I know we miss LBB, but we need to appreciate the show moved on -bailey didn’t make it close, they date was set while she was in the audition process -she Improved a lot!

I just noticed, when she goes "WOAH" at the beginning this trumpet blurts out and it sounds REALLY cool!
HAHA YEAH THAT'S SO COOL I LOVE THAT PART!!
gosh she has improved so much!! this is amazing. i wish people would stop talking about laura bell... stars of shows are always replaced... and the replacements are not supposed to be carbon copies. that would just be so boring. bailey ROCKS.
I saw bailey in Legally Blonde the day before it closed and she was great!!!! go Bailey!!
WOOT!!! AUTUMN 3rd in on the left at the end!!!!
@silenthillmaster755 No. It's just the camera picked up the lighting. I could see the people clear without the glare.
omg i agree so much! i remember at the beginning of the show when they first sang So Much Better she was off key a lot but now shes so much better! lol
i don't think anyone will ever top laura bell bundy, especially since whenever someone takes over someone else in a role they originiated it's always a comparison. but i think for never having any formal broadway training she's doing a phenomenal job
She's better than I thought she would be when I saw her on Broadway...I was impressed.
aww no "i'm too busy loving my name *twist twist twist twist*" lol my favorite part :(
I think she did this really well, she sounded great, better than on the show actually. And she held that last note beautifully.
ONly The best when seeing this show!!!
thank you sooooooo much for putting this up!!!
yayyy someone uploaded a video!!! =)
been looking for videos of bailey since she opened!!
She really has gotten a lot better since the show days! I'm glad she is getting to do what she's always wanted to do!
Omigod omigod you guys
Why doesn't she twist when they're singing "kind of a cool ironic twist"? That's what I've seen all the other Elles do. I still love Bailey though, I always wanted her to win.
krispykreme327 Ik it's annoying when she doesn't twist
@@angeliquemariel2916 Twisting would mean decreasing voice quality. It's really difficult and for a 18 yo fresh out of high school is really impressive
The show was in danger before Laura Bell left, the show was to promote ticket sales. As we all can see, it failed :[
wow they really used the "background" singers to help out her vocals!
they use that for all the elle actors
What a stupid commit ! Lol this is the score of the show.
She did so good here
Her voice is SO MUCH BETTER now!!!!!! She rocked it out! I love her now. Perfect choice for Elle.
Amazing!!!
guys you have to forget about LBB, like shes gone and its unfair to be constantly comparing the new elles to LBB, like LBB was the original Elle so of course she's going to be brilliant when she made Elle Woods!
we still have broadway's gem, Wicked! :) All of those shows that closed were amazing though :(
Completely agree! I've seen many girls do a decent job as Elle..but LBB is in a league of her own!
They lowered the key. It really suits her voice.
I'm the biggest LBTM fan there is, and if I don't hate Bailey, neither should you, she awesome! Laura Bell beats her out but about 80% But shes still amazing, i mean shes so cute as the part to I love her.
she does
wow, she's good. go bailey!

this was the day before I saw the show!
is that autumn on the top, third from the left?
o m g she is like 100% better than the tv show already! i bet she totally rocks elle woods! an absolutely perfect take over from laura bell! snap snap!
I changed my mind...
1) Laura Bell
2) Haven Burton
3) Reese Witherspoon
4) Bailey Hanks
5) Annaleigh Ashford
6) Becky Gulsvig
thanks for this!
she's a good elle woods on broadway but she isn't theeee original.
never will be
=[
ThankGoodness i saw laura before she left, i wanna see bailey too!
She was the best for this role of all ten girls, no doubt in my mind. I'm glad that Autumn's her understudy, though. Her voice is phenomenal.
I just want to see Bailey perform so badly!
i believe she is the third from the left if i remember correctly
I have Ireland... but not the reprise... I just put it up so go check it out.
No, it was Tiffany Engen as Serena in this performance.
true!
That was great! And the filmer has great seats!!! But was the whole show like that, where you could barely see the people because of the lights?
My list is:
Laura
HAven
Becky
Annaleigh
Bailey
yes
My List:
1) Laura Bell
2) Haven Burton
3) Reese Witherspoon
4) Annaleigh Ashford
5) Bailey Hanks
6) Becky Gulsvig
I'm sorry...something about Becky's Elle really irritates me. A lot.
have they lowered it for here??? sounds well better with LBB... cant wait for it to come to london... i hope they do a 'Wicked - London' and bring the ordignal Broadway lead to open it in London!!!!
I miss LBB Baily doesnt blow me away.
wow. then you obviously don't know theater. its sooo low because its in someones lap basically and those seats were great. I've seen the show 6 times and you can't beat that. If you go 5 more rows back ur gna be in shit seats. the best rows are row 1-4 duh!

I noticed somethings in the clip that LBB did that Bailey chose obviously not to do, to show ownership of the role. I'm pretty opened. I wonder if they considered Reese Witherspoon at all.
Oh well... that's weird... cuz I def got to see Bailey and take a picture with her that day.
lucky front row! i am SOOOOOOOOO jelaous! lol :)
The key sounds like it's lower than LBB if you compare both clips.
Matinee..
does anybody know which one is autumn?
Who is the Serena it looks a lot like Leslie Kritzer the original Serena but I know it isn't, but I do know that it is not Tracy Jai because she has different hair.
but i think the spin works really well at the point of the song!
shes there?
i rly wanna see bailey cuz i saw laura bell bundy so i wanna compare them! lol
i like the lowered key better.
@AllthatGlittrz13 no i think it was like 3rd row.
I was wondering if your trading this video?
if you are just send me a message because i would really like tbis
It sounds really fast.
Bremen25 it’s supposed to be
I feel like she doesn't really show emotion in her voice...I dunno. I mean, she sounds fantastic, I just suppose I'm so used to the diversity of LBB...But, you know what? Kudos to her! :)
If you didn't want people commenting on your video, you should've disabled comments.
they lowered the key when LBB was still there, because it was killing her voice. find things out before you judge.
who's lbb?
1:51 why no spin😭
Just the way he gets out of there after the handshake.
I think he thinks the show lost something besides Laura.
it isnt Baileys fault. rumors were going around even before Laura left.
understudying elle too!
list:
LAURA.
Lauren.
BECKY.
Bailey.
DUH. why would you want her to be?
*sniff* i miss Laura bell bundy
for some reason i always am scared the girl who takes to paper will fall off!
Personally I'm not a huge fan of Bailey, and I prefer LBB. But, she couldn't have stayed on forever. I mean, we have to get used to listening to someone that's not LBB. Cuz Legally Blonde's going to be on Broadway for awhile.
don't express ur opinion on my video. thanksss. bye
yeah annaleigh is awesome! she's so perky, haha
That's pretty smart of you to analyze like that.
Bailey claims that she wants to be Glidna in Wicked. If she does, I will lose faith in it. And I love wicked.
The casting through tv was a dumb idea.
They should have picked up a Glinda to do Elle. Not Bailey. She ruined the show.
hahaha lol I guess Laura's spin is .. well cexpected
tracy
but for some reason i feel like becky did the spin!
I wonder why she didn't spin during a cool ironiq twist? but i can immagine that it's unbelavlebly hard to spin like that in heels why trying to sing and not fall off the stage lol
she's cute
i'm underwhelmed
i hate the key change
i was going to say the same thing. weird.
ticket sales went down
i wish autumn woulda gotten it...i mean bailey's not bad but, i was rooting for autumn.
I miss Laura Bell Bundy
Good because that would be annoying watching it like that
lol
no, Laura Bell's contract expired and she wants to work on her album
omg, they had to lower it a semi tone for her? dumpy!
she's good.
she's no laura bell,,but no one is.
It might be her understudy, Tiffany Engen.
Christian just looks like he wants out of there.
Yeah but there always those who break the rules and dont care!
I am not saying that I dont like her or think that LBB was better
I can see that Bailey improves a lot from the reality show,but I dont think she is good enough to be elle.Her voice's great but def NOT strong enough to be a broadway star.
But I think she will get better of doing the show 8 days a week.
She's good, but she doesn't blow me away. Intonation is kind of meh in places.
i think she is the 2nd L in elle.
Let’s address something, I know people have but I just want to say it.
-yes the key was lowered because Laura damaged her voice.
-no one can beat the OBC
-stop comparing
-I know we miss LBB, but we need to appreciate the show moved on
-bailey didn’t make it close, they date was set while she was in the audition process
-she Improved a lot!
You had really good seats
