Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, or end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

Legally Blonde Nightmares: "What you want is right in front of you, front of you!" But will I get there?

Once upon a time, I heard that they were turning Legally Blonde (a movie with Reese Witherspoon) into a Broadway musical. My reaction was, "are you kidding me?! that is the stupidest idea ever!"
So about two years later, I had received some target gift cards for my 18th birthday. I don't buy much at target; usually just movies. So Iwent to look at movies and didn't find much I wanted, so I decided to look at the musical soundtracks. They only had a few: Jersey Boys, West Side Story, and Legally Blonde. I thought, "what the heck? I'll get them all! I have nothing else to spend this money on." And guess what?! I FELL IN LOVE WITH LEGALLY BLONDE!!!!!! They changed the story so that it was way cuter than in the movie. And the songs were FANTASTIC!!! I wanted to share my love for this musical with others, but everyone thought I was a weirdo. I had Caitlin listen to the music. She was hooked. And at school, I found out that two of my friends, Cortney and Rachel, also like the show! And I also found out that MTV had recorded a Broadway Performance and I watched and loved it even more!
So the four of us shared this deep love for Legally Blonde the Musical. And then GUESS WHAT!? About a year ago we found out that it was coming to Capitol Theatre!!! And we freaked out! And we bought tickets way in advance and spent more money on tickets than we really needed to, just to make sure that we saw it!!
And Legally Blonde is here!!! And we are going to see it on Friday! And I might just pee my pants with excitement!
But I keep worrying that something will go wrong. Last night I had a dream that we got there late, and then we found out that the lead was in the hospital and so Elle was going to be played by a local actress. And the local actress was Erin Crouch, who is an amazing person but she's not Elle Woods! I know none of that stuff would happen, but it seemed very real at the moment!
Then today while I was at school I got a call from my mom. I listened to the message and she said that there had been a fire at Capitol Theatre. It had happened in the night.I started to freak out! My dreams were ruined! But she continued to say that it was put out very quickly and Legally Blonde would be running normally! Phew!
Needless to say, I have been very anxious today. If something happens and I don't see this show with my friends I will be very upset. The End.
