SNSD Jessica will act in a musical

[gogoparty.livejournal.com]

SNSD's Jessica will be making her acting debut in a musical.


She will take on the lead role of Legally Blonde the Musical which will start showing at Seoul Coex Atium on November 14th.
A representative said over the phone with Newsen that "the decision (Jessica's role in the musical) is almost finalized". This will be a chance for Jessica to make her acting debut as a musical star. Jessica has recently drawn attention for her blond hair during the Genie activities.

Legally Blonde the Musical is a Broadway musical based on the hit 2001 Hollywood movie. Along with Jessica, Kim Dong Wook ("National Representative") will play the male lead, with actors/singers like Kim Soo Jin, Jun Soo Kyung and Cho Jung Hwa in the supporting cast.

...really. really? really?

I don't see her pulling Elle Woods off.

mte, somehow I strained my imagination trying to see her as Elle Woods...

[confettileaves.livejournal.com]

OMG YES. YESYESYES. KPop and my Broadway obsession colliding. :DDD

Though, idk... maybe Sooyoung will be more fitting for something like this? It's like they really just casted Jessica because of her singing, dancing... + hair. >_>

[confettileaves.livejournal.com]

I mean, it's not like a more suiting person can't dye their hair blonde? Hmmm. I want to see her perform something broadcasted so I can actually judge. xD

I can really imagine Jessica as the lead role of Legally Blonde. I mean, seriously.

LOL that was a funny movie
reese witherspoon ftw ♥

[valyrian.livejournal.com]

That's so cute haha.

[hi-junpei.livejournal.com]

How is she going to do this? Elle Woods is sweet, fun, and, most importantly, likable. Jessica is none of those. Good luck to her, though.

I love Jess, but I wondered about this. Wasn't she once called an "Ice Queen" and didn't Key call her scary when he first met her?

You'd think they'd hire on Sunny or someone...bouncier?

Legally Blonde the musical? akjsdhakjsdhkajs I'm sorry, I'm a huge Broadway fan. aksdjhaksjdhaks this will be too awesome. I hope Jessica does well.

[leafed.livejournal.com]

I really wanna see her Bend&Snap xD

[hp-groupie.livejournal.com]

lol chill Draco.

[jaybomb.livejournal.com]

I can't wait to hear her do So Much Better ouwbwegow

[receipt.livejournal.com]

i honestly don't know if she can pull that off. i love the girl, but really. it worries me. :|

[herro-kitty.livejournal.com]

idk if this part is right for her lol I'd like to see her play a fierce character XD
btw, her hair isn't very blonde, I wonder if she'll bleach it/wear a wig? I think she can pull it off

[aofly.livejournal.com]

I LOVE LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL, I don't know a lot about Jessica though, hopefully she can live up to it.

[luvey.livejournal.com]

although i don't speak Korean, i think i would love to see this.

[emiliecious.livejournal.com]

ice princess as a ditzy blonde? hmmm, questionable.

[evil-zucchini.livejournal.com]

I wish they had chosen someone else. I mean, Jessica is an okay singer but her voice is so thin that I can't imagine her being able to do the belt in So Much Better like Laura Bell Bundy can. And there's that whole personality clash. I've never seen her act and I honestly don't think she'll be able to pull it off.

tl;dr DO NOT WANT.

[dominique-franc.livejournal.com]

yea I wasn't even thinking about her singing just the acting part
now not so sure

[dominique-franc.livejournal.com]

Laura Bell Bundy is awesome in this musical
you need a lot of perk, charisma, and overall believability for that perk to work
idk I think Jess will do well

[miduhyo.livejournal.com]

ugh i hate this musical sfm.

but lol so many people in this post who haven't heard of acting.

[deazaskia.livejournal.com]

OMG BEND & SNAP!!

i love that movie. hope she'll do good for the musical. :/

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

GET IT GURL! I know she use to want to be an international lawyer.

[niara-honey.livejournal.com]

LEGALLY BLONDE!
i'm sorry but i loled when i read that.
i won't say anything -avoids jessica fans' glares-

[wrongbyright.livejournal.com]

I have no idea how Legally Blonde the musical is like, but YAY JESSICA!

Vocals-wise I don't think she'll have a problem(she's not one of the lead vocalists for nothing), and worse actors have been casted before(but her 'acting' cuts in WGM were what made the Taeyeon/Hyungdon couple worth watching,so yeah). :D

[rozimnida.livejournal.com]

it's really good, really entertaining.
it was shown on MTV, i think it's up on google video ^^;

[djclazzi.livejournal.com]

Sica better werk. I love her, so I hope this isn't the next Xandadu D:

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

It is weird to me that they use so many idols in musicals. They also make musicals out of everything. I think she can pull it off just fine since she wont be playing "jessica" she will be acting.

[gabbeeee.livejournal.com]

I highly doubt her personality is going to be a problem, seeing as they call it acting for a reason.

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

this

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

she's very... not elle woods. tiffany's personality irl would have suited the role better. but she is acting, so we'll see how good of an actress she is!
