ELLE WOODS IS COMING TO MANILA IN ?Legally Blonde, The Musical,? based on the hit film starring Reese Witherspoon.

Atlantis Productions is mounting the musical in June 2010, with TV and recording artist Nikki Gil headlining the show.

?I?m very excited to have been chosen to play Elle Woods,? says Gil. ?It?s a challenge in terms of stamina and vocal preparation, so I really have to prepare for it.?
