It’s here, and it’s “AN ELLE OF A SHOW” (TIME Magazine).
The hilarious MGM film is Broadway’s new smash hit musical, and now LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL is coming to you. LEGALLY BLONDE follows sorority star Elle Woods, an underestimated blonde who doesn’t take “no” for an answer. When her boyfriend dumps her for someone more “serious,” Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style. After turning Broadway and MTV hot pink, this Feel-Good Song and Dance Juggernaut (New York Magazine) is The Best New Musical Around!

GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!!
The stage for the 4th Annual Cause for the Paws concert to benefit the Humane Society of East Texas. On Saturday, April 30th, Miranda takes the stage On the Square in Tyler joined by special guests Stoney LaRue and Josh Kelley.
Tickets go on-sale Friday, February 25th at 10am and are available at www.outhousetickets.com.
Gearing up for its 4th annual show, this year’s Cause for the Paws is shaping up to be the biggest ever. In addition to recent Grammy winner and ACM nominee, Miranda Lambert, the show features Red Dirt musician, Stoney LaRue, Top 40 country artist, Josh Kelley, as well as additional local favorites. Together with a huge stage, and giant video screens, this show has the makings of a spectacular concert, the likes of which, Downtown Tyler has yet to see.
Over the years the concert has raised thousands to benefit the Humane Society of East Texas, enabling it to become a no-kill animal shelter.

This year’s live and silent auctions include a variety of artist signed items.

The foundation has successfully raised money across the country aiding organizations and governmental institutions or entities whose purpose is to build animal shelters for better care; increase pet adoption and encourage responsible pet guardianship; rehabilitate sick or unsocialized animals; fund spay/neuter programs; reduce/eliminate euthanasia of healthy animals; and train shelter dogs for purposes of therapy programs, assistance for wounded military personnel and dogs-in-prisons programs.
