What’s great about Legally Brown: The Search for the Next Piragua Guy, as its title suggests, it’s not afraid to embrace the ridiculous. In a great marketing move, the six-episode web series concluded yesterday as the curtain went down on Legally Blonde: The Musical. In case you missed
it, this past summer MTV paraded around wanna be Broadway stars as they vied for the title role of Elle in the musical version of the movie. In Legally Blonde: The Search for the Next Elle Woods girls laughed, cried, sang their lungs out, and danced their gams off in one of the networks better reality shows since Pedro and Puck and the good ole days of The Real World.Perhaps the genius hook of the show is all the fuss over casting a Piragua guy to begin with. What, pray tell, you ask is a Piragua guy? Why he’s the Puerto Rican man who sells delicious frozen treats shaped like a pyaramid, made of shaved ice and covered in syrup… of course. But to the contestant on Legally Brown, he’s everything.
In the big season finale, none of these contenders actually land the title role. Instead, reality show winner extraordinare, and Broadway’s Elle Woods aka Bailey Hanks, nabs the role in a not-so-subtle plug for the show. In fact, most of Legally Brown is a plug for Broadway in general, as the judges continuously name drop which show Piragua contenders are currently starring in. Fortunately, for the viewer, the show’s funny enough to keep watching anyway.
