MTV Series Recasts Broadway's Legally Blonde Star

MTV on June 2 will launch The Search for Elle Woods, a reality series following 10 actresses as they vie to replace Laura Bell Bundy as the lead in Broadway's Legally Blonde.

The eight-episode series will be judged by the likes of director Jerry Mitchell and casting agent Bernard Telsey, and not factor in viewer votes (unlike NBC's Grease: You're the One that I Want). - MWM
