Cast Christian Borle as every character in the revival of Legally Blonde


Cast Christian Borle as every character in the revival of Legally Blonde
The Issue
It has been nearly 14 years since Legally Blonde closed on Broadway, and it is high time for a revival.
Since we have been robbed of seeing Christian Borle perform the bend and snap onstage, we are petitioning to revive Legally Blonde, but as a one-man show. Although, at first glance, this may seem preposterous, Mr. Borle is the only actor with the range, talent, and experience who can and should take on this show:
- He has previously demonstrated the ability to successfully portray multiple characters in a single show;
- His background portraying villainous types, such as William Shakespeare, Black Stache, and Orin Scrivello, would suit him well in playing Professor Callahan, Warner Huntington III, Vivienne, and Dewey;
- His experience playing overdramatic and flamboyant characters, such as Willy Wonka, William Shakespeare, and Prince Herbert, makes him the perfect choice for playing all the Delta Nu sorority girls;
- He has repeatedly portrayed characters with fabulous walks and immense amounts of swagger (Trevor in Ghost Stories, William Shakespeare, and Orin Scrivello), meaning he would have no trouble playing Kyle the UPS guy and the frat boys;
- His appearance in an eBay commercial demonstrates his ability to play characters who are advertising or selling goods and services, making him the ideal actor to portray Brooke Wyndham and Paulette Buonufonte;
- He has experience playing a blonde character—Prince Herbert—who is searching for a knight in shining armor in Spamalot;
- Additionally, he is well-suited to play Bruiser, considering his role as Charlie Brown's dog Snoopy in Snoopy! The Musical.
If Mr. Borle is reluctant to do the entirety of the show alone, we propose reuniting him with his Falsettos co-star Andrew Rannells as Emmett Forrest and Warner Huntington III for a two-man revival of Legally Blonde.
