Introducing our Legally Blonde cast: Izzy , our very own Elle Woods! 👩‍🎓✨🎀

Izzy was raised by the theatre community in her midwestern U.S. hometown, where she performed in plays, musicals, and operas from the age of five. In addition to singing and acting, she is passionate about directing, dramaturgy, and Theatre of the Oppressed. While a student at Minerva University, Izzy studied in 7 global cities and fell in love with Berlin. She graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Politics and Humanities before realizing that all she really wants to do with her time is play pretend—so she’s SO totally psyched to be back with theatre people and returning to the musical stage as MTS’ Elle (snaps!!!)

Aside from MTS, Izzy currently spends her time performing classical theatre with Shakespeare: Reloaded; taking law courses at the Freie Universität (yes, really); practicing her Valley Girl accent; and devising a MA thesis about the role of community-based theatre in U.S. culture.

Introducing our Legally Blonde Cast: Chiara , playing the role of Serena in the Greek Chorus 🤸🏼‍♀️

From ballet to hip-hop and contemporary, she got introduced to theatre and musical theatre after a while and got addicted to that too. One of her childhood memories was learning by heart all the Sharpay songs in High School Musical, with her dad helping her. 💛

Member of MTS since the beginning of 2022, Chiara is super excited to play the role of Serena, an energetic cheerleader and one of Elle’s best friends, in a cast of crazy talented and fabulous people.

Introducing our Legally Blonde cast: Yara playing one of the leading roles, Margot 🤸‍♀️

Yara was born and raised in Berlin! At the ripe old age of 5, she started singing in her first choir and really hasn't stopped singing since.
Now she is 21 and has dreamed of musical theater for a few years, and while this isn't her first time performing a musical with a group of super-talented people, it's her first time doing it in English!

When she is not rehearsing for something, Yara likes to sleep, eat and hang out with children at her workplace, she has many opinions and likes to share them and really can not decide on hair color. Or Haircut, for that matter...

After completing exams in Music, Classical Singing, Musical Theater, and Music Theory, Lauren moved to Berlin. There, she founded MTS (for which we are all extremely grateful!). All our members know that Lauren secretly thinks she's Elle Woods IRL, so she is obviously SUPER excited to be producing and musically directing Legally Blonde!

Introducing our Legally Blonde cast: Josefine, as Enid 👩‍💻

The theatre and dancing have always been vital parts of Josefine's life. When it comes to singing, though, she considers herself a late bloomer. But by now, she's become a fierce advocate of musical theatre!

Since she moved to Berlin from rural East Germany at the innocent age of 18, the performing arts have been a constant companion and creative outlet for her. Josefine founded and directed a science fiction theatre group, put together a chanson program that led her to the finale of the German national singing competition (Bundeswettbewerb Gesang), and worked as a voice actress in the dubbing industry. Currently, she also uses her deep voice to support the tenor section of the Berlin choir institution Heart Chor.

He sincerely hopes that Legally Blonde will finally be the one to break the curse and perform in front of a live audience.

Introducing our Legally Blonde cast: Gero, playing Professor Callahan 👨‍🏫

There is one thing about musical ensembles that most people don't know about. Once you join your first ensemble, you sign a contract with blood, so you can never really let go again ;)

Gero has been in several musical ensembles over the last 13 years. He has been a video game hero, an event undertaker, a Greek god in disguise, a dentist, a drag queen, and an FBI agent before he ended up stoned in "Re**er Madness." After that, he focused on less time-consuming hobbies like swing dancing and never intended to get back into theatre, but who can say no to "Legally Blonde"?

Gero is really looking forward to performing this cheerful piece with a bunch of great people, even though he will probably be the one spilling some blood in the water ;)

27/05/2022
