'Blonde' Ambition; OCC vs. DD

OhmyGodyouguys! I knew that Ben Brantley wouldn't like Legally Blonde! It's just too, you know, happy and fun for him. I seem to be in minority in totally enjoying it. Most of the critics who gave it a wavering thumbs up were classifying the show as a guilty pleasure--something they really shouldn't be savoring--like the tower of candy Brantley compared it to in his review.

The Drama Desk nominations came out last Thursday and took a totally opposite tack than the Outer Critics Circle nods. DD lauded the serious and esoteric LoveMusik with 12 nominations while OCC favored kiddie-friendly Mary Poppins with the most at 10. It looks like neither will win big for the awards themselves. I predict Spring Awakening will take Best Musical from both groups and at the Tonys.
