The Little Mermaid KIDS

Three seagulls, Scuttle, Scooter, and Skipper, introduce their favorite story about an adventurous mermaid and a human prince. In the ocean below, King Triton and his daughters, the Mersisters, gather in the royal court (“Fathoms Below – Part 1”). Out on the sea, Prince Eric sails the ocean with a crew of Sailors and wishes for a life of adventure (“Fathoms Below – Part 2”). Prince Eric hears a mysterious voice, but Grimsby, the prince’s guardian, reminds him of his responsibilities on land. 

Beneath the waves, Ariel confides in her best friend, Flounder, sharing her dreams about a life on land (“Part of Your World”). Meanwhile, the crab Sebastian has prepared a special concert for King Triton and the Merfolk that will debut Ariel, the king’s youngest child (“Daughters of Triton”). When Ariel doesn’t show up, King Triton assigns Sebastian to watch over her. After spying on the proceedings, sneaky eels Flotsam and Jetsam report back to the evil Sea Witch Ursula, who plots to use Ariel to enact revenge on her brother, King Triton. 

Upon discovering Ariel’s collection of human objects, Sebastian and the Sea Creatures urge Ariel to celebrate the wonders of her own world (“Under the Sea”). In the midst of this revelry, Ariel pursues a passing ship, steered by Prince Eric. Lightning strikes the ship, sending Prince Eric overboard (“The Storm”). Ariel saves him from drowning, bringing him safely to shore, and disappears back into the sea (“Part of Your World – Reprise”). Prince Eric wakes up and wonders about the girl with the beautiful voice who saved him. 

Back underwater, the Mersisters speculate about what could be distracting their sister (“She’s in Love”). When King Triton learns of Ariel’s collection of human stuff, he forbids her from going to the surface again. Flotsam and Jetsam find Ariel in despair and lure her to the Sea Witch’s Lair. There, Ursula offers to transform Ariel into a human in exchange for her voice, which Ursula will keep in her magic shell (“Poor Unfortunate Souls – Parts 1 & 2”). 

According to Ursula’s spell, Prince Eric must declare his love for Ariel within three days or she will turn back into a mermaid and her soul will belong to Ursula forever. Torn, but overcome by her dreams of the world above, Ariel makes the deal and is transformed into a human (“Ariel’s Transformation”).

 Ariel lands on the surface, unable to speak and with new human legs. Prince Eric meets her on the beach, and though convinced she isn’t the girl who saved him, brings her back to the palace. On their first day together, Prince Eric and Ariel connect over their shared love of exploring. On day two, Scuttle and the Gulls cheer up a voiceless Ariel and help her communicate with Prince Eric, who is charmed by Ariel’s individuality and whimsical spirit (“Positoovity”). On the third day, Prince Eric and Ariel sail together, but the sun sets before he can say he loves her (“Ariel’s Voice”). Unable to fulfill Ursula’s contract, Ariel is drawn into the sea and turned back into a mermaid. 

Back in Ursula’s Lair, King Triton begs for Ariel’s freedom and agrees to trade his trident – and power – for his daughter’s freedom. With both her magic shell and the King’s trident, Ursula seizes control of the oceans and is consumed with her newfound power. Suddenly, the Mersisters and Flounder arrive and steal Ursula’s magic shell, restoring Ariel’s voice (“Confrontation”). Ariel outmaneuvers Ursula and shatters the shell, causing Ursula to lose all her power and disappear forever. 

With peace restored, Ariel returns the trident to her father. King Triton reconciles with his daughter, encouraging her to follow her heart. He transforms Ariel back into a human and they arrive on the surface, where Prince Eric has been searching for Ariel (“Becoming Human”). Reunited, Prince Eric realizes Ariel was in fact the girl who saved him! They decide to live a life of adventure together on land, their wishes finally coming true (“Part of Your World – Finale”).

Descendants: The Musical

Once upon a time, Belle and the Beast united all the Disney fairy tale kingdoms in an idyllic land called Auradon. To ensure peace in Auradon, villains and their sidekicks were banished to the Isle of the Lost, a wretched, magic-free island. Separated by a magical portal, the citizens lived isolated from each other for many years.

Twenty years later, in present day Auradon, Ben – the teenaged son of Belle and the Beast – prepares a speech for his upcoming coronation (“Better Together – Prelude 1”). Ben reveals his first official decree to his parents: the children on the Isle of the Lost will come to live in Auradon. As a test run, Ben has chosen the children of Maleficent, Evil Queen Grimhilde, Jafar, and Cruella De Vil to leave the Isle to attend Auradon Prep. Terrified of this plan, Belle and the Beast tell their son that this will be his one chance to bring villains into their world; if it fails, the portal between the two worlds will be closed forever.

On the Isle of the Lost, Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos – the troublemaking teenaged offspring of those four infamous villains – receive their invitation to leave the Isle to attend school in Auradon. Mal, the leader of the pack, ensures her friends they can stay on the Isle, where they rule the streets (“Rotten to the Core”).

Maleficent, Jafar, Grimhilde, and Cruella arrive to discuss the news with their children. Maleficent identifies an opportunity for revenge: If their children are released into Auradon, they can help the villains take over the free world. Maleficent persuades Mal to go to Auradon, steal Fairy Godmother’s wand, and use it to open the portal so that they can rule both worlds together (“Evil Like Me”). Mal agrees, and the four friends (the “Evils”) step through the portal to Auradon.

In Auradon, the Evils are greeted by the students of Auradon Prep (“Be Our Guest”). Despite their cheery welcome, there is immediate tension between the students and the newcomers. Fairy Godmother, the headmistress, welcomes them to the school, reminding them that magic is illegal on the premises and that they must follow the rules (“Good Is the New Bad – Preprise”). They meet Ben, his girlfriend, Audrey (Sleeping Beauty’s daughter), Chad (Cinderella and Prince Charming’s son), Doug (Dopey’s son), and Jane (Fairy Godmother’s daughter).

The Evils briefly pretend to fit in, but surreptitiously return to their troublemaking ways, wreaking havoc in the school hallways (“Good Is the New Bad – Part 1”). Evie has developed a crush on Chad, and tries to get his attention by cheating off her magic mirror in Professor Maurice’s Chemistry Class. Tensions between the students and the Evils escalate, as Audrey and Maurice confront Ben about how poorly the Evils are assimilating into society (“Good Is the New Bad – Part 2”).

In their dorm room, the Evils craft a plan to steal Fairy Godmother’s wand from the Museum of Cultural History. As they sneak out, they are spotted by Fairy Godmother and Jane, who decides to follow them to the museum.

At the museum, Mal recites a spell from her mother’s spell book, causing the guard to fall asleep. After a rare moment of indecision (“Evil Like Me – Reprise 1”), Mal grabs for the wand, but a forcefield protects it. Jay attempts to lunge for the wand, setting off the museum alarm. Carlos turns off the security system and the Evils sneak out of the museum uncaught – though followed by Jane.

In Remedial Goodness class, Fairy Godmother allows the Evils to video chat with their parents back on the Isle, who are dreaming about their impending takeover (“Rotten to the Core – Parents’ Revenge”). Later, Jay and Carlos join the Tourney team, showing off skills they didn’t know they had (“Goal”). Despite their athletic success, the Evils still face difficulties fitting in; Audrey insults Mal, Chad scams Evie into doing his homework, and Jane unsuccessfully attempts to tell a distracted Fairy Godmother about their visit to the museum. In spite of this, some Auradonians begin to appreciate the newcomers (“Good Is the New Bad – Reprise 1”).

Ben visits the Evils in their dorm room, and Mal tries to get information on the wand. Ben tells Mal that his girlfriend will stand with him at the coronation, near Fairy Godmother as she uses her wand to crown him. With a tear from a lonely Jane, the Evils use Mal’s spellbook to whip up a batch of love-spelled cookies, crucial to their new plan of making Ben fall for Mal so she can be within arm’s reach of the wand at the coronation (“Ways to Be Wicked – Preprise”).

Mal offers the potioned cookies to Ben, who instantly falls under the spell, professing his love for her in front of the whole school and inviting her to the coronation (“Did I Mention”). In response, Audrey takes Chad as her new boyfriend, much to Evie’s dismay.

On their first date, Mal and Ben share the obligations and pressures of their lives, causing Mal to feel real feelings for him (“Better Together – Prelude 2”). Ben finds Maleficent’s spellbook in Mal’s bag and explodes in anger, mad at her for disobeying the rules of the kingdom and leaning into her villainous impulses. Mal storms off.

Back in the dorm, Mal announces that she is leaving for the Isle and asks Evie to come with her. Evie admits that, while heartbroken over Chad, she doesn’t want to leave Auradon. The best friends promise they will always care for each other, no matter the world they choose (“Space Between”). Mal sets off for the Isle.

When Ben comes looking for Mal, Evie agrees to take him to the Isle to find her, but insists he follow her lead to fit in (“Chillin’ Like a Villain”). Meanwhile, back in Auradon, the school erupts in chaos; Audrey and Chad happily tell Ben’s parents that the Evils are the cause of the disorder (“Good Is the New Bad – Reprise 2”).

Evie, Jay, and Carlos find Mal on the Isle. They reveal that Ben is with them, eager to convince Mal to return to Auradon. Suddenly, Maleficent appears and Mal distracts her, allowing her friends to safely escape. Ben lingers and overhears Mal telling her mother about the love spell and their intent to steal the wand. Torn between two worlds, Ben and Mal wonder what the future holds and what their obligations are to their respective communities (“If Only”).

Back in Auradon, Maurice confronts Evie about cheating in class with her magic mirror. Doug, who has developed a crush on Evie, stands up for her, and Maurice agrees to return the mirror if Evie can pass a test without it. Audrey and Chad rile up the Auradonians against Ben and the Evils (“Ways to Be Wicked”). Mal returns to Auradon, and, seeing the way the Evils have been vilified, the foursome commit to their plan to steal the wand.

On the day of the coronation, the Evil Parents watch the proceedings on TV until Maleficent reveals that she plans to rule the world solo – without the other villains. Evie learns she aced her make-up test and invites Doug to the coronation as her date. Meanwhile, Ben admits to Mal that he hasn’t been under the effects of the love potion since going to the Isle, where magic doesn’t work, and that he truly cares about her.

The coronation commences (“Go the Distance – Chorale”) and just as the Fairy Godmother moves to anoint Ben, Jane snatches the wand out of her hand, inadvertently opening the portal between lands. She revels briefly in her power, until Mal snatches the wand, pointing it at the crowd. Ben encourages Mal to make the right choice, but before she can decide her next move, Maleficent bursts through the window and takes the wand from her daughter. As Maleficent points the wand at Ben, Mal realizes her deep feelings of love for him – feelings her mom never showed for her. Maleficent revels in her evilness, towering over the Auradonians (“Evil Like Me – Reprise 2”).

Working together, Jay, Carlos, Evie, and Mal use their once-evil plans to steal the wand back from Maleficent. Encanting a spell from memory, they cause Maleficent to shrink to the size of the love in her heart. Mal returns the wand to Fairy Godmother. Having used their powers for good, the Evils are welcomed fully by the Auradonians (“Better Together”), and Ben declares that the portal between the two worlds shall be opened forever (“Break This Down”).

Matilda, Jr.

Matilda JR opens with enthusiastic school children (and their equally enthusiastic parents) singing their own praises…except Matilda. According to her parents, she is nothing but a nuisance (“Miracle”). At Matilda’s home, her father, Mr. Wormwood, reveals his scheme to sell old automobiles as brand-new luxury cars to Russian businessmen. Matilda says that she doesn’t believe this is fair, and her father insults her, believing her intelligence and love of books to be unnatural. Matilda goes to her room, pausing on the way to mix her father’s hair tonic with her mother’s hair dye (“Naughty”). The next morning, Mr. Wormwood’s hair is green.

Matilda drops by the library to visit Mrs. Phelps, the librarian. The girl tells Mrs. Phelps the first part of the tale of the Acrobat and the Escapologist, two circus performers deeply in love. The tale cuts off just as the couple is primed to perform their most dangerous trick yet. Matilda starts her first day of school the next morning, surrounded by intimidated new children and scary big kids (“School Song”). Fortunately, Matilda’s teacher is Miss Honey, a sweet woman who cares deeply for her students. Miss Honey immediately recognizes Matilda’s advanced intelligence, prompting her to visit the school’s vicious headmistress, Miss Trunchbull. The teacher hopes to promote Matilda to a more challenging class, but Trunchbull refuses, insisting that Matilda cannot be an exception to the rules (“The Hammer”).

After school, Mr. Wormwood returns home, furious that the Russians did not fall for his scheme. Matilda questions him about it, and he notices her book, prompting him to rip the book apart. In an act of rebellion, the girl lines the rim of her father’s hat with superglue, watching in satisfaction as he puts the hat on his head (“Naughty – Superglue – Part 2”). At school the next day, Matilda’s classmate NIGEL runs through the playground in a panic, saying he has been blamed for a trick on Trunchbull. He says that if she finds him, she will put him in the infamous chokey, a cupboard lined with nails, spikes and broken glass (“The Chokey Chant”). Matilda tells the students to throw their coats onto Nigel. When Trunchbull storms onstage, Matilda tells her Nigel has been asleep under the coats for the last hour due to his sleeping disorder. Trunchbull reluctantly accepts this explanation and leaves after bullying another student.

While Mr. Wormwood realizes his hat is glued to his head at Wormwood Motors, Mrs. Wormwood is at the Wormwood house, answering the door when Miss Honey knocks. The teacher tries to explain to Mrs. Wormwood how special her daughter is, but the girl’s mother doesn’t listen and pushes her out the door. Miss Honey stands outside, wanting to fight for Matilda, yet feeling helpless (“This Little Girl”). Meanwhile, Matilda is at the library continuing her circus love story for Mrs. Phelps. The escapologist announces that their act is cancelled because his wife, the acrobat, is pregnant. However, the acrobat’s sister refuses to cancel the act, referring to the contract the performers signed. Matilda promises to continue the next day.

At school the following day, Miss Honey pulls Matilda aside and promises to bring in extra books to challenge the girl. Matilda is thrilled. But her joy is short-lived as Trunchbull bursts into the classroom, accusing Matilda of eating a piece of her cake. The true culprit, however, is Matilda’s hungry classmate Bruce, who accidentally reveals his guilt with a loud, chocolaty burp. Trunchbull comes up with a twisted punishment for Bruce, bringing out the rest of the massive cake for the boy to eat in one sitting. The kids cheer on the boy, who finally finishes off the huge dessert (“Bruce – Part 1”). Despite his victory, Trunchbull takes Bruce to the chokey. Matilda is upset by the unfairness of this. She goes to the library, launching into the next part of her dramatic circus tale. During a performance, the acrobat slips and falls, breaking every bone in her body and passing away-but not before she gives birth to a baby girl. However, the girl grows up with an abusive aunt and a father who is unaware anything is wrong. The story cuts off once again, and the scene shifts to the children in Matilda’s school, singing about what life will be like when they grow up. Miss Honey and Matilda join in, wondering what they can do to right all of the wrongs in their lives (“When I Grow Up”).

At the Wormwood home, Mr. Wormwood announces that by tweaking the speedometers in his cars, he has completed a successful business deal with the Russians. While the rest of the family is thrilled by the money, Matilda is disgusted that her father cheated the businessmen. Mr. Wormwood threatens to ban her from the school and never let her read again. Alone in her room, Matilda tells the rest of the circus story to herself. The escapologist discovers that his sister-in-law has been beating his daughter, and he leaves to confront her, but he never returns again.

The next day at school, Trunchbull believes the students are up to something (“The Smell of Rebellion”). Her fears are confirmed when Matilda’s sneaky classmate Lavender puts a newt into Trunchbull’s water jug. She immediately begins pointing fingers and figuring out who to blame, but Matilda silences her with a yell. Trunchbull yells back, but suddenly everything slows down and goes quiet as Matilda explains to the audience that she can sometimes find a calmness in herself that allows her to do amazing things (“Quiet”). In this moment, the calmness allows her to throw the glass with the newt at Trunchbull. The headmistress screams and runs away. Miss Honey dismisses the class, but Matilda stays behind to show the teacher her ability. They walk together, and Miss Honey reveals that she is poor and lives in a shed. Her father died when she was little, and her cruel aunt became her legal guardian and the owner or her childhood home. Miss Honey suspects her aunt killed her father, but she has no proof. Matilda asks who Miss Honey’s aunt is. Reluctantly, Miss Honey reveals that her aunt is none other than Trunchbull.

In Miss Honey’s classroom the next day, Trunchbull challenges the class to a spelling test. The students spell every word right-proof that Miss Honey’s kind, patient teaching methods have paid off. When Trunchbull claims a student has spelled a word wrong and tries to drag her to the chokey, the whole class begins spelling wrong so there will be no room for all of them in the cruel device. As Trunchbull claims she has multiple chokeys for all of them, writing appears on the chalkboard-writing that appears to be from her dead brother-in-law. Trunchbull leaves the classroom screaming. The children sing in joy (“Revolting Children”).

A few days pass, and Miss Honey has inherited her parents’ house, taken over the role of headmistress, and removed all the chokeys. Matilda, meanwhile, is about to be whisked off to Spain by her family. Her father is on the run from the Russian businessmen, who have realized that they were cheated by him. However, Miss Honey has a proposition: let Matilda stay with her. After just a bit of reluctance, Mr. and Mrs. Wormwood agree, and Matilda and Miss Honey are both overjoyed (“Bows”).

Jungle Book KIDS

Our tale begins deep in the heart of the Jungle. A baby boy, lost and abandoned, is raised by wolves. He is called “Mowgli” (“Jungle Prologue”).

Shere Kahn, the tiger, decides that Mowgli is no longer welcome in the Jungle. To keep him out of danger, Bagheera, the panther, plans to guide Mowgli to the safety of the man village, but Mowgli doesn’t want to leave his home. The two settle down for the night under a coconut tree, but their peaceful night is interrupted by Kaa, the Snake (“Kaa the Snake”). Bagheera doesn’t notice as Kaa lulls Mowgli into a deep sleep (“Trust in Me”). Bagheera wakes up to find Kaa coiled around Mowgli and chases the snake away (“Night into Day”).

As they continue their journey, they encounter a herd of elephants, led by the dotty Colonel Hathi (“Colonel Hathi’s March”). As the elephants march off, Bagheera commands Mowgli to follow him without any more argument. Mowgli sits and pouts on a large boulder, only to discover that it is the giant bear, Baloo (“Baloo the Bear”).

Baloo offers Mowgli his philosophy on life, which is quite different from what Bagheera has been teaching (“The Bare Necessities”). While Baloo is lost in that swingin’ jungle rhythm, a group of shifty-looking monkeys tiptoes in and kidnaps Mowgli. Caught off guard, Baloo calls to Bagheera for help while the monkeys carry Mowgli deep into the jungle, laughing all the way (“Monkey Business”).

The monkeys take Mowgli to the ancient ruins, where their leader, the wiley King Louie, is holding court. King Louie tells Mowgli that he wants to learn how to be a man while Baloo and Bagheera sneak on and devise a rescue plan. Baloo, disguised as a very big monkey, will join in the fun to distract King Louie while Bagheera spirits Mowgli away (“I Wan’na Be Like You”).

Baloo can’t get enough of that jumpin’ jazz, and insists on an encore. He continues to swing until his disguise falls off, blowing their cover and forcing them to run (“I Wan’na Be Like You – Reprise”). The monkeys frantically follow in pursuit, but are stopped dead in their tracks when Shere Khan appears. He sharpens his claws and the monkeys scatter in terror (“Shere Khan the Tiger”).

After their monkey attack, Baloo now realizes the Jungle is too dangerous for Mowgli and, together with Bagheera, they agree to get him out of the jungle. Mowgli overhears and, not wanting to leave his home, defiantly runs away. Baloo and Bagheera rush off to find him, hoping that Shere Khan doesn’t find him first (“Mowgli Runs”).

Away from the safety of Baloo and Baghera, Mowgli finds friendship in the other jungle creatures, who promise to protect him if Shere Khan should come around (“That’s What Friends Are For”).

Shere Khan arrives and prepares to attack Mowgli, but before he can pounce, Baloo appears, rallying the other jungle creatures into battle (“The Battle”). The battle ends with the jungle creatures victorious and Shere Khan cowering in the distance, humiliated and defeated. Once again, the jungle is safe.

Shanti, a beautiful young girl who has been hiding in the jungle the whole time, finally reveals herself. She offers to take Mowgli to her village to meet other people just like him. Mowgli decides to explore the “man village” with Shanti, but reminds his friends he will return, for he will always consider the Jungle his home (“The Bare Necessities – Reprise/Finale”).

As the curtain falls, the jungle inhabitants return once more to celebrate that swingin’ jungle beat (“I Wan’na Be Like You – Reprise/Bows”).

High School Musical, Jr.

The Cheerleaders of East High School spiritedly welcome the students back from winter break (“Wildcat Cheer”). Gabriella Montez, a new student, tells Taylor McKessie about her ski trip; Gabriella flashes back to the New Year’s Eve karaoke contest where she met Troy Bolton and they sang a duet together (“Start of Something New”). Troy tells Chad Danforth that he made a New Year’s resolution to ask Gabriella out.

That morning the students – including Drama Club president Sharpay Evans and her brother Ryan Evans – gather in homeroom, where Ms. Darbus announces the auditions for Juliet and Romeo, the winter musical written by student Kelsi Nielsen. When Gabriella, Sharpay, Ryan, Troy, Chad, and Taylor use cellphones in class, Ms. Darbus sentences them to detention later that day. In the hallway after homeroom, Troy and Gabriella are shocked to discover they now attend the same school.

At basketball practice, Coach Bolton runs drills with the Jocks (“Get’cha Head in the Game”), but Troy’s mind strays to his duet with Gabriella. That afternoon, Gabriella demonstrates her intelligence in Ms. Tenny’s chemistry class and Taylor tries to convince her to join the Science Decathlon team. Meanwhile, Sharpay and Ryan hatch a plan to trick Gabriella into joining the team to keep her from auditioning for the musical and threatening their stardom. Later, at Ms. Darbus’s detention, Coach Bolton bursts in, trying to find out why his players aren’t at practice, and finds the students doing acting exercises.

The theater is buzzing the next afternoon as Thesepians, including James, Susan, Cathy, and Cyndra audition for the musical (“Auditions”). Sharpay and Ryan audition for the lead roles with a creative take on a song Kelsi wrote for the musical (“What I’ve Been Looking For”). Troy and Gabriella arrive too late to audition, but Kelsi encourages them to sing her song as written, and the two of them perform as Ms. Darbus listens from the back of the auditorium (“What I’ve Been Looking For – Reprise”); she agrees to give them a callback.

The next morning, Sharpay is furious to see Troy and Gabriella on the callback list. In the cafeteria, members of the various Cliques are alternately inspired and dismayed at Troy’s transcendence of his clique (“Stick to the Status Quo”); Zeke Baylor reveals to the Jocks that he likes to bake, and Marth Cox tells the Brainiacs that hip-hop is her passion – much to Kratnoff’s dismay.

Escaping the chaos, Gabriella and Troy share their fears and reminisce about how simple things used to be. Meanwhile, the Jocks and Brainiacs devise a plan to get Troy and Gabriella to focus on basketball and the Science Decathlon, and Sharpay hatches her own plan to take them out of the running for the musical: She will convince Ms. Darbus that Troy is trying to sabotage auditions as revenge for putting him in detention.

Later that afternoon, the Brainiacs try to convince Gabriella to concentrate on the Science Decathlon while the Jocks remind Troy to keep his head in the game (“Counting on You”). They put their plan into action by tricking Troy into saying that Gabriella and the musical don’t mean anything to him while secretly broadcasting this proclamation to Gabriella.

The next day, Troy apologizes to Gabriella, and they decide to participate in the callbacks after all. Their plan is complicated when Jack Scott, the school announcer, proclaims that the time of the callbacks has changed. Sharpay had succeeded in convincing Ms. Darbus to change the time of the callbacks to conflict with the Science Decathlon and championship game. Troy and Gabriella both say that they will support their teams, but the Jocks and Brainiacs feel guilty and devise a new plan to help them make it to callbacks (“We’re All in This Together”).

The following day, all three events unfold at the same time (“Bop to the Top”): Sharpay and Ryan perform their callback while Troy plays in the championship game and Gabriella competes in the Science Decathlon, led by the Moderator. Taylor hacks into the school’s electrical system and shuts down the lights in the gym and lab to give Troy and Gabriella a chance to run to their callback. But when they arrive at the auditorium, they’re too late.

However, when the East High students arrive to rally behind them, Ms. Darbus relents. Sharpay protests, but Ryan reveals her lie to Ms. Darbus. Troy and Gabriella perform their callback (“Breaking Free”) and get the parts. Troy and Gabriella return to their other competitions, and both teams win! The barriers between the cliques have fallen, and all of the students come together to celebrate (“We’re All in This Together – Reprise, High School Musical Megamix – Bows”).

Legally Blonde, Jr.

At the Delta Nu sorority house, word is out that Elle Woods is going to dinner to get engaged to her beau, Warner Huntington III (“Omigod You Guys”). Margot, Serena and Pilar lead the other Delta Nus to the mall, where Elle is having trouble choosing the right dress for the occasion. Later at dinner, just when Elle is sure Warner is going to propose, he breaks up with her, explaining that, with his departure for Harvard Law School, it’s time to get serious (“Serious”). Devastated, Elle locks herself in her room. Twelve days later, the Delta Nus finally get Elle to emerge (“Daughter of Delta Nu”). Elle realizes the only solution to her heartache is to get into Harvard Law and prove to Warner she’s serious enough for him (“What You Want”). Sorority sister, Kate, helps Elle study for the LSAT and, after several attempts and a lot of hard work, Elle’s application comes before Harvard Admissions. Lowell, Winthrop and Pforzheimer, three Harvard admissions coordinators, decide to admit Elle after a very extravagant song and dance (which she submits in lieu of a personal essay), citing love as her main motivation.

On the first day of class, Elle meets her fellow first-year law classmates, Aaron, Padamadan and Enid, as well as Warner, who is shocked to see her on campus. Callahan (the most feared teacher at Harvard) kicks Elle out of class for being unprepared, at the suggestion of classmate Vivienne Kensington. Callahan’s TA, Emmett, tries to console Elle, but her mood only worsens when Warner confesses to Elle that Vivienne is his new girlfriend. Elle finds the nearest salon and meets Paulette, who commiserates with her situation (“Ireland”).

Afterward, Elle runs into Vivienne, who invites her to a costume party. Elle attends, hoping to see Warner, but is dismayed to discover she is the only one who wore a costume — much to Vivienne’s delight. On the way home, Elle meets Emmett, who tells Elle how hard he’s worked to get where he is and encourages her to do the same (“Chip on My Shoulder”).

Time is passing quickly at law school, and Elle is working harder than ever, eventually winning her first court case in class and receiving a recommendation to apply for Callahan’s internship. With her newfound confidence, Elle helps Paulette win her dog back from her estranged boyfriend, Dewey.

Back at Harvard, Warner and Vivienne win two of Callahan’s coveted internship positions, and Warner proposes to Vivienne on the spot, right in front of Elle. Before her heart can break, Emmett shows her the internship list, and Elle is ecstatic to discover her name is on it as well (“So Much Better”).

The interns quickly jump into the case of fitness video guru, Brooke Wyndham, who is accused of killing her wealthy husband. After watching her fitness video (“Whipped into Shape”), the interns meet her at a correctional facility, where she refuses to give her alibi to anyone but Elle, thanks to their Delta Nu sisterhood (“Delta Nu Nu Nu”). In confidence, Brooke shares with Elle that she was getting liposuction the day her husband was killed, so there is no way she could be guilty, but no one can know because her fitness empire would be destroyed. The other interns demand that Elle give up Brooke’s alibi, but Elle refuses to go against her Delta Nu pledge.

Back at the salon, Paulette has eyes for the UPS delivery man, Kyle, but isn’t confident enough to go after him. Elle teaches her a guaranteed move to win any guy’s affections — the Bend and Snap (“Bend and Snap”), but when Paulette tries it, she accidentally breaks Kyle’s nose.

Elle returns to the case, but Callahan has a different agenda and tries to kiss her… just as Vivienne returns, unnoticed. Elle rejects Callahan’s advances and is fired. Defeated, she prepares to go home, convinced she was only ever seen as a joke, even though Emmett asks her to stay, finally realizing that he is in love with her (“Legally Blonde”). Elle stops by the salon to say goodbye to Paulette, but Vivienne — who witnessed what happened to Elle in Callahan’s office and finally understands her — convinces her to keep fighting. The entire salon rallies behind Elle as she heads back to the courtroom (“Legally Blonde – Remix”), where Brooke fires Callahan and hires Elle to continue her defense.

Everyone is present to witness Elle’s first day in court, including Paulette and Kyle (now a couple), Margot, Serena, Pilar and the other Delta Nus. Brooke’s stepdaughter, Chutney, takes the stand to testify that, when she got out of the shower, she witnessed Brooke standing over her father’s body, covered in blood. When asked what she had been doing earlier that day, Chutney reveals she had gotten a perm, and Elle realizes a flaw in Chutney’s alibi — she couldn’t possibly have showered the same day as receiving a perm, or her hair would be flattened. Since her perm is still intact, she has obviously lied about her alibi. Under some intense questioning from Elle, Chutney accidentally reveals that she killed her father, mistaking him for Brooke. Elle wins the case, and Brooke is set free. Warner tries to propose to Elle, but she gently refuses, having gained her independence and a desire to be the best she can be (“Find My Way”).

Three years later, Elle is made valedictorian of her class and, in her commencement speech, she proposes to Emmett, who accepts. Everyone celebrates their legally blonde friend and heroine, Elle Woods (“Finale”).
