Flossing between songs is recommended for anyone who attends Legally Blonde, the nonstop sugar rush of a show that opened last night at the Palace Theater, joining the ranks of such nearby temples to candy worship as the M&M and Hershey’s theme stores.

But she and the musical are peppy and bright and, though not a smidge more shocking than its heroine’s special shade of pink, the show is what Elle’s sorority pals might also describe as, "Like senior year but funner."

Omigod, Broadway totally has a new princess. In much the same way Tracy Turnblad sashayed into town in Hairspray or the budding Wicked witches touched down, Elle Woods beams in from planet Malibu via Harvard Law in Legally Blonde, bringing girl-empowerment aplenty. While the hit 2001 MGM film was a cute premise in search of a plot, kept afloat by Reese Witherspoon’s dazzling charisma, the musical trades up on the original model in both character development and infectious comedy. It may not be bulging with subtext or boast a score for the ages, but this pinksapoppin funhouse delivers exactly what it promises.

The same is true of this endlessly energetic show. But for all its pep, bright colors and adorable dogs, the Legally Blonde that breezed into the Palace last night is rarely – as Elle would say – superfun. It’s only sorta fun.

Not only does Legally Blonde look like a big wad of pink bubblegum, it feels like one too. After five minutes, the flavor is gone.
