Meet the Cast: Tanner Williams (Emmett Forrest) 🎒💼

The Wilson is absolutely thrilled to have Tanner Williams taking center stage as everyone's favorite corduroy-wearing hero, Emmett Forrest! We already know and love Tanner as our incredible resident sound engineer, but he is proving he is just as magical in front of the microphone as he is behind the audio board. 🎙️✨

While Tanner is usually busy making sure our shows sound flawless, he is trading his headphones for Harvard law books. Fun fact: this is only his second musical ever! His first stage appearance was back in high school—also in Legally Blonde—where he played the chaotic, trailer-park-dwelling Dewey. Talk about an epic promotion to leading man! 📈🎭

When he isn't crushing it on stage or running audio, Tanner is a talented animator and voice actor. He dedicates this special performance to his family, his friends, and The Amazing Digital Circus. 🎪💻

Tanner is a genuinely amazing person, a brilliant crew member, and a total powerhouse on stage. Come watch him bring heart, humor, and spectacular vocals to Emmett during the rest of our run! 🌟❤️

Meet the Cast: Camden Rossell (Warner Huntington III) 👔💔

The Wilson is ready to introduce the man who is looking for someone serious!

Camden Rossell is stepping into the loafers of Harvard’s most eligible bachelor, Warner Huntington III! Harvard Law might think they've seen it all, but Camden is bringing pure charm and talent straight to our stage. 🌟

While Warner spends his time breaking hearts and chasing elite status, Camden is much more down-to-earth. He hails from Lewis, where he swaps the Ivy League suits for farm boots to work the fields with his dad. 🌾🚜

When he isn't busy being "Serious" on stage or managing life on the farm, Camden has some pretty awesome hobbies. He is a passionate hunter, a fantastic cook, and a dedicated member of Fellowship Church in Oakland, where he lends his incredible voice to the praise and worship team. 🎶🎤

Camden is seriously talented and we are thrilled to have him bring his fantastic vocals and charisma to this wonderful cast. Come see if he can handle the pink hurricane that is Elle Woods during the rest of our run! 🎭✨

Meet the Cast: Lena Torbett (Vivienne Kensington) 🎓💼

The Wilson Performing Arts Center is thrilled to welcome Lena Torbett back to the stage as the brilliantly sharp Vivienne Kensington in Legally Blonde: The Musical! Lena is bringing major powerhouse energy to Harvard Law with a spectacular vocal range and incredible acting chops that will leave you absolutely speechless. 🌟🎶

Lena plays the ultimate, icy rival to Elle Woods on stage, but don't let the drama fool you! In real life, Elle (Kaitlyn) is actually one of Lena's absolute best friends and her sister-in-law, since Kaitlyn is married to Lena's brother, Don! 💖🤫

Speaking of family, the incredibly talented Torbett Family takeover is officially complete! Lena is also our star pup Blue's aunt, making this a true family affair both on and off the stage. 🐾❤️

Lena has been lighting up the stage and the musical theatre scene since the fourth grade. When she isn’t dominating the Harvard classroom as Vivienne, she is a student at Iowa Western Community College working toward her Associate of Arts degree. In her rare moments of downtime, she loves singing, swimming, outdoor walks, and spending quality time with friends and family. 🌊🚶‍♀️

Come watch Lena completely own the stage and belt out those jaw-dropping notes during the rest of our run! 🎭✨

Meet the Cast: Blue Torbett (Bruiser Woods)

🐾 Star Alert! 🐾

Blue totally blew us away on opening night! Our resident diva is officially running the show at The Wilson and she knows she owns the place! This paws-itively perfect pup is super friendly and loves giving big puppy kisses... when she's not playing hard to get! Our cast & crew recently learned that Blue is also a speedy little runner, so good luck catching her when she is on the move! 🎀

Talent obviously runs in the family for this very furry superstar (after all, "Bruiser is family"). Sure, Blue might technically be a theater nepo puppy, but she more than earned that spotlight! Her proud mommy is Kaitlyn Torbett (our phenomenal Elle Woods) and her daddy is Don Torbett (our amazing Music Director).

Come see Blue command the stage, rock her pink accessories, and show off her serious star power during the rest of our run! 💖✨
