A live read marking Legally Blonde‘s upcoming 20th anniversary will honor Pride Month by featuring an all-LGBTQ+ cast, Entertainment Weekly reports.
Leading the charge as bubbly-yet-brilliant law student Elle Woods (played by Reese Witherspoon in the films) is Alexandra Grey, known for her roles on Empire and MacGyver, reports People. Joining as Elle’s love interest Emmett Richmond (Luke Wilson) is Signature Move star Fawzia Mirza.
Also on board are Razor Tongue‘s Rain Valdez as Vivian, Lingua Franca star Ivory Aquino as Paulette, former child actress Mara Wilson as both Enid and Professor Callahan, actor and podcaster Symphony Sanders as Brooke and Mrs. Fletcher star Jen Richards as Warner.
Drew Gregory, who writes for the LGBTQ site Autostraddle, directs and narrates the virtual live-read, which is being put on for NewFest Pride, a four-day event from New York’s film and media organization during Pride Month starting on June 4.
