Sorority star Elle Woods doesn't take "no" for an answer. So when her boyfriend dumps her for someone "serious," Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style.

Cassie Caballero returns to the Manatee Players' stage as "Elle" along-side Billy Masuck as 'Warner'. The talented cast also includes Geena Ravella, Tahlia Byers, Holly Rizzo, Chad Mueller, Karen Lalosh, John Andruzzi, Sarah Cassidy, Andrea Wright, Vera Samuels, Philip Croome, Deborah Cochran, Earl Wright, Jonah Wright, Tyler Brown, Jason Ellis, Brian Strubbe, Joseph Rebella, Will Dixon, Victoria Najmy, Emma Slotabec, Zoe Verbil, Chantal Guerrero, Rachael Henry, Noelia Altamirano, Mary Kate D. Glidewell, Danae DeShazer and Savannah Clair.

The show is being directed and choreographed by Dewayne Barrett with Rick Bogner as musical director.
