PARSIPPANY – Parsippany Central Middle School 12-year olds Kenny Lee, Sarah Lepre, and Karmina Wall will perform in New Vision Players’ (NVP) production of Legally Blonde, Jr.
The students will take center stage in the popular musical at the end of August. This is the premiere youth production for this upcoming company, which won several NJACT Perry Awards for their acclaimed version of Les Miserables in 2013.
A fun international award-winning musical based on the popular movie, Legally Blonde, Jr. follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes, snobbery, and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. This action-packed musical explodes on stage with memorable songs and dynamic dances. Equal parts hilarious and heart-warming, this musical experience is a fun night out with the family.
Kenny Lee previously appeared in the CMS Spring musical Peter Pan, Jr. as Michael. This summer, he has the role of Emmett Forrest, the lawyer that is working hard to become a partner and befriends Elle Woods, the main character.
Sarah Lepre has been performing for five years in various community theater productions, short films, and performing arts events. This is her second NVP production, as she played Young Eponine in Les Miserables. She was also in CMS’ Peter Pan, Jr. as Tinkerbell. In Legally Blonde, Jr., Sarah will play Vivienne Kensington, the snobby rich girl who is Elle’s nemesis.
Karmina Wall is an accomplished musician and has played the violin with the New Jersey Youth Symphony Orchestra, and sang recently in Carnegie Hall with the Golden Key Festival. She also plays flute in the CMS band. Karmina will perform the role of Brooke Wyndham, the fitness instructor on trial for murder in Legally Blonde, Jr.
The friends are very excited to perform together and spend their summer singing and dancing.
The production will be held on Thursday, August 27 at 7:00.p.m.; Saturday, August 29 – 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, August 30 at 2:00 p.m.
Legally Blonde, Jr. will be performed at Temple Emeth, 1666 Windsor Road, Teaneck. Tickets are $12.00 for General Admission and $10.00 for Kids 10 and Under, Seniors 65 and older.
