Good news from South Carolina

Well I thought I would balance the Yin and Yang in South Carolina by posting a story that South Carolinians could be proud of. And since she didnt win the OT crown in 2005 at Miss South Carolina Outstanding Teen, its probably safe to assume she wasn't assaulted as others have alleged to have been....(oh no he didn't)

Anywho, tonight is Bailey Hanks, former Miss Liberty's Outstanding Teen 2005's, opening night on Broadway!
Can everyone do "JAZZ HANDS!"? I knew you could!

Bailey Hanks beat out thousands of applicants and nine other contestants in a show produced for MTV titled "Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods" and will succeed Tony nominee Laura Bell Bundy as Elle Woods in the New York production of Legally Blonde.

Ghostlight records will also release Bailey's version of "So Much Better" as a single and will be available on iTunes today.

Bailey is from Anderson, SC and was a musical theater major at Coastal Carolina, although her time at school has been placed on hold for this once in a lifetime opportunity.

On the show she was selected by a team of judges including Legally Blonde director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell, casting director Bernard Telsey, Legally Blonde book writer Heather Hach, associate director Marc Bruni and associate choreographer Denis Jones. Seth Rudetsky served as musical director and vocal coach for the series, which included special appearances from Legally Blonde cast members Paul Canaan (one of the three judges), Nikki Snelson (Brooke Wyndham), Orfeh (Paulette), Richard H. Blake (Warner) and the musical's Tony-nominated star, Laura Bell Bundy (Elle Woods).

Here is a little sneek peek into the life of Bailey Hanks.
Bailey... Break a leg!
