Legally Blonde – The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods

2. And Then There Were Ten

Now that the contestants have been cut down to only 10 girls, things get heated. The girls move into their New York City hotel loft just in time for another audition. This time, the girls have to perform "Delta Nu Nu Nu" with guest star Nikki Snelson. Meanwhile, it's a tough day for auditioner Bailey, who gets yelled at twice in less than half a day. For the first time she's scorned for wearing heels when she was specifically told to dress comfortably. The second time was for letting her thick southern accent interfere with the song. After all the singing, one girl will be sent home. Meanwhile, the other nine still have a shot at becoming the next Elle Woods on Broadway.

3. Omigod, She Threw Us Under the Bus

Final 9 practice by working out on spinbikes as they sing "Omigod You Guys."

4. It's Time To Get Serious

The ladies perform with a canine costar: Bruiser, the dog from the musical. Later, they sing "Serious" for actor Richard Blake, and two contestants are eliminated.

5. These Pink Boots Are Made For Dancing

With only six girls left, the competition begins heating up when Denis Jones and Nick Kenkel guest star to help the contestants with their dance moves. Things wind down with a yoga session with Kate Shindle before another Elle Woods hopeful is sent packing.

6. Blonde To The Bone

The five remaining girls are called to the John Barret Salon at Bergdorf Goodman's to dye the non-blonde-haired girls blonde to capture the true Elle Woods character. Later, the ladies go over to SoHo Studies, where they're greeted by Laura Bell Bundy to help the contestants get in touch with the inner Elle. Later, the girls sing and rehearse "Legally Blonde" before another blonde-haired female is informed she will not be the new Elle Woods on Broadway.

7. Triple Threat Test
