i started a thread about this a long time ago. i thought the agreement was that it hadnt even been written, it was just an idea and they didnt know who they had in mind. i really do think kristin would make a good elle just because her and reese witherspoon remind me of one another. idk. but as far as i know there is only rumor and speculation, inuendo...outuendo...and i tried to set the record straight.
From Broadway News by BroadwayNewYork.com: There's more Broadway work in Kristin Chenoweth's future. The former Wicked star and Tony winner for You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown plans to produce and star in a musical called Boots. It's a about Vegas show girl who moves back to Texas and teaches a college drill team. Chenoweth also has her eye on a part in Mel Brooks' next screen-to-stage musical, Young Frankenstein.

Again...KC never "decided" not to do Legally Blonde. It was never offered to her. It was never offered to anyone. It hasn't even been written yet. And after it is written, gone through readings and workshops, THEN an offer for the Broadway production of it will be made to someone. May be Chenoweth, May be an Olsen Twin, May be Rush Limbaugh. As of right now, however, since the musical is not yet written, no offers have been made to play the role. :)
