Never work with animals or children, as W.C. Fields is famously quoted as saying.
Unless, of course, you’re casting for Legally Blonde – in which case you absolutely must find the just-right canines.
Luckily for the Align Entertainment production of the popular musical, they’ve managed to snag two cuties who are ready to show off their stage talents for the musical’s run at Michael J. Fox Theatre.
Making her stage debut in the key role of Bruiser Woods (devoted companion to the show’s heroine, Elle Woods) is Molly Spinola.
Molly, who hails from Port Moody, loves to take long walks around Buntzen Lake, eat her favourite pumpkin treats and nap in the sun.
She’s joined by Seamus O’Kelly as Roofus. Seamus, a native of White Rock, is also making his stage debut. Outside the theatre, his favourite hobbies include sleeping, eating and taking long walks. His favourite toy is a stuffed antler, and his best friend is Nigel, his Boston terrier cousin. You can also find Seamus on Instagram, @famousseamusthebulldog.
You can catch them both onstage Feb. 2 through 17 at Michael J. Fox Theatre, 7373 MacPherson Ave. Tickets are $39 regular, $27 for students, seniors and children. Thrifty Thursday tickets are available for $25 (Feb. 8 and 15), and there’s a special Family Day matinee for $15 on Feb. 12.
