AJ Marks Of Black Diamonds In Boston Children's Theatre's-"Legally Blonde"

July 11, 2012 - PRLog -- Boston, MA--  What’s hilarious, fun, and entertaining all wrapped up with a nice pink bow?  It’s Boston Children’s Theatre’s (BCT) production of LEGALLY BLONDE!  LEGALLY BLONDE features the talents of 14 year old BCT Studio 3 student AJ Marks of Boxford in the role of Professor Callahan.  This entertaining, high energy musical will be performed at The Governor’s Academy in Byfield.  With 2 rotating casts, AJ Marks will be appearing in performances on Thursday, July 12th at 7:30pm, Saturday, July 14th at 7:30pm and Sunday, July 15th at 2:00pm.

“My experience as front man for the Black Diamonds and my vocal and performance studies at DeAngelis Studios prepared me for this exciting opportunity,” said AJ Marks.  “My cast mates are all talented actors.  The chance to learn from them and Broadway professionals is awesome.”

“When we asked our students what musical they most wanted to do, LEGALLY BLONDE was at the top of the list,” said Toby Schine, BCT Executive Producer.  “This type of high energy musical needed just the right director, and we are thrilled to announce that Broadway actress and renowned director Lisa Yuen will be returning to BCT to direct this production.  Her style and energy are contagious and her talents create the perfect match for this musical.  It’s going to be a terrific experience for our students and the audience.”

LEGALLY BLONDE follows the adventures of Elle Woods, the pretty in pink college sweetheart and homecoming queen with the tenacity and enthusiasm to get things done.  When her boyfriend dumps her for someone ‘serious,’ Elle follows him to the land of crimson, Harvard Law School, and proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style.  Featuring a score that will leave audiences humming long after they’ve left the theater, BCT’s production of LEGALLY BLONDE is directed by Lisa Yuen, with choreography by Nicole Soriano.  

LEGALLY BLONDE will be performed at The Governor’s Academy, 1 Elm Street, Byfield, MA.  Performances featuring AJ Marks are Thursday, July 12th at 7:30pm, Saturday, July 14th at 7:30pm and Sunday, July 15th at 2:00pm.  Tickets are $20 and $15 for adults and $10 and $10 for students.  For tickets and information visit www.bostonchildrenstheatre.org or call 617-424-6634, x222.
