Broadway revival rehearsals will typically have cast and crew members from the original run involved to some extent.

This weekend, Laura Bell Bundy—who originated the role of Elle Woods in “Legally Blonde” on Broadway—is rolling into town to take a gander at Bill Edwards Foundation for the Arts’ “Jr.” production of the Tony-nominated show.

The Ohio-bred singer (who also originated roles in Broadway versions of “Hairspray” and “Dreamgirls”) will appear alongside the theater camp students for a preview of their production, as well as a showtune-filled, headlining set of her own.

Tickets to see Laura Bell Bundy play Duke Energy Center for the Arts at St. Petersburg’s Mahaffey Theater on Friday, July 18 are still available and start at $48.50.
