The much-anticipated Legally Blonde prequel introduced a new Elle Wood with star Lexi Minetree filling in some pretty big heels.
18:05
heels.It's a crazy thing because there are moments where I'm like, "Yeah, I got this.
18:11
This is great." And then there's moments where I'm like, "Oh my God." The reality hits me
19:28
That's a beautiful piece of advice.
19:29
Elle Woods is so beloved to so many people and, and that means something.
19:33
You know? And you don't wanna, like, ruin someone's childhood or favorite character.
19:38
And I really hope when people watch it, they, they see how much joy we had while making it-
14:20
It is.
14:20
And it sucks you in.
14:21
Like, the beginning couple episodes, of course, we're given more Easter eggs, 'cause we're like, "Hey, look, see? Legally Blonde." But then it's just, like, a good time.
14:28
It becomes its own thing.
14:29
There's a lot of heart there.
14:31
And there's so many shows, you know, I feel that you can't watch as a full family.
14:36
Mm-hmm.
14:37
Literally today, it made my day.
9:58
Mm-hmm.
9:58
And I hung onto every word that he said.
10:03
And I remember he, like, assigned me this one, uh, Shakespeare scene, and it was from Macbeth.
10:08
And I, and I just, like, was working on it and working on it.
10:12
I would spend hours after, like, trying to get it right.
10:15
And, like, I just felt like I wasn't getting to where he wanted me to, and I was so frustrated.
10:24
And I remember, like, we had a one-on-one session 'cause that's, like, how the classes worked.

Let's take a listen to it.
1:14
Did no one ever tell you that we don't do posers here? Seattle isn't a costume, and pink isn't a personality.

4:37
Okay.
4:37
'Cause honestly, one thing that I think people will be so pleasantly surprised about is how fun and funny this show is.
5:38
Now, probably the most important question that you are going to be asked on this entire press tour is, this is a world of the '90s, and I would like to know is do you know the Macarena?
5:51
Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.
5:57
Ay.
6:00
I'm so proud of you.
6:01
Thank you.
6:02
Funny enough, when I was auxing the car earlier, 'cause they, they trust me to do the music-
63:07
So we asked Lexi, "What's it like working with Reese?" And here's what she had to say.
63:12
She's incredible.
63:13
She's so classy, and she holds herself with so much poise.
63:17
She cares about the people she works with.
63:19
And I think for me, that's the biggest thing I take, is how you treat someone is how you treat everyone.
63:24
And just like, it's a team effort.
63:28
It, it really takes a village to make something and, and she's brought so many wonderful people together to make these amazing things.
63:54
Here's how she answered.

5:32
Elle, we're moving to
5:32
Seattle.
5:34
Yeah.
5:37
It doesn't sound right.
5:38
I think her walk is a big one.
5:41
Especially when she's like determined or something, she kind of has this like.
5:44
The shoulders.

6:27
So was there any
16:59
What was that moment like?
17:01
It was so surreal.
17:04
I mean, first of all, meeting Reese Witherspoon, like, she's just as nice in person as you would think she is.
17:11
But I didn't know I was going to be meeting her that day.
17:13
They told me I was going to be meeting someone else.
17:15
So when I walked in as Reese, I was like, oh.
17:17
I'm glad you wore pink.
19:32
Yeah,
11:54
Oh, hey.
11:54
A fellow Southerner, yeah.
11:55
[audience cheering] Fellow Southerners.
11:58
Um, I was a huge nerd growing up.
12:01
I, like, loved Pokemon, Wizard101.
12:03
I was a huge reader.
12:05
I remember that, um- My fifth grade teacher called me the absent-minded professor, 'cause I was literally never paying attention.
14:17
I'm gonna get this," or what did you get-
